Can identifying and treating the right trigger point change the way you manage myofascial pain?
Myofascial pain is a common yet often under-recognized contributor to orofacial pain and TMDs.
Patients may experience pain that appears to originate from one area, while the actual source may be a myofascial trigger point with characteristic referred pain patterns. 
But identifying a trigger point is only the beginning.
When should Trigger Point Injection be considered? Which muscles can be treated? Where should you inject? What technique and injectate should you use? And how can TPI be combined with other treatment approaches?
This practical webinar will take you through the diagnosis, patient selection, injection techniques, safety considerations, and clinical application of Trigger Point Injections in myofascial pain.
With a dedicated hands-on component, you&#39;ll also learn how to identify and mark trigger points and understand the practical steps involved in performing TPI safely and effectively.
