Triggerpoint injection
Trigger Point Therapy Effective treatment for muscle knots and chronic myofascial pain
Are you struggling with persistent pain, stiffness, or muscle tension that won’t subside? Trigger points, commonly known as muscle knots, are hyper-irritable spots in the skeletal muscle that can cause both localized soreness and radiating pain.
At Elit Ortopedi in Stockholm, we provide specialist-led diagnostics and advanced treatments designed to release tension, reduce pain, and restore your full mobility.

What are Trigger Points?
Trigger points are localized, hypersensitive areas within a muscle belly that remain chronically contracted. These “knots” often develop due to physical overloading, repetitive strain, stress, poor posture, or previous injuries.
Key Characteristics:
- Localized Pain: Intense tenderness upon direct pressure.
- Referred Pain: Aching that radiates to other parts of the body (e.g., from the neck to the head or from the glutes down the leg).
- Functional Impairment: Reduced range of motion and a sensation of muscle weakness.
Common Problem Areas:
- Neck, shoulders, and upper back.
- Lumbar and thoracic spine (lower and middle back).
- Hips and gluteal muscles.
Our Treatment Process: Precision and Results
At Elit Ortopedi, we utilize high-precision techniques to reach deep-seated tension. Your treatment is always tailored to your specific clinical needs:
Clinical Examination: We review your medical history and perform a detailed manual examination of the musculature.
Ultrasound Mapping: We use advanced ultrasound to pinpoint the exact location of the trigger points and rule out other structural injuries.
Ultrasound-Guided Injections: By guiding the needle with millimeter precision under ultrasound, we can deliver treatment directly into the trigger point. This maximizes efficacy while minimizing discomfort.
