Dr. Stefan Milanovic, MD, CCFP
Now Accepting Referrals for Trigger Point Injections
Dr. Stefan Milanovic is now accepting referrals for trigger point injections (TPI) as part of a multi-modal pain management strategy. TPIs are safe, evidence-based procedures used to alleviate myofascial pain in patients who have not responded to conservative management.
Common Indications:
• Chronic neck or back pain
• Myofascial pain syndrome
• Tension headaches related to cervical muscle trigger points
• Fibromyalgia (targeted, focal muscle involvement)
• Piriformis syndrome
• Shoulder girdle pain, including trapezius/rhomboid tension
• Refractory gluteal or paraspinal trigger points
• Adjunct to physiotherapy, massage, or IMS
Procedure Overview:
• In-office treatment using local anesthetic (e.g., Lidocaine 1%) with or without corticosteroid
• Patients can typically resume normal activities the same day
• Follow-up coordinated with referring provider and/or allied health (PT, RMT)
