F.A.Q.
CMI on West Broadway in Vancouver offers image-guided trigger point injections for chronic muscle pain and myofascial pain syndrome. A physician referral is required. Contact CMI to confirm your condition is appropriate for treatment.
Yes. Piriformis syndrome, which mimics or contributes to sciatica, is treated at CMI with image-guided injections into the piriformis muscle. This reduces muscle inflammation and spasm, relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve without surgical intervention.
A trigger point injection places a needle directly into a tight, painful muscle knot to release tension and reduce pain. At CMI, ultrasound guidance is used to visualize the trigger point in real time, ensuring accurate needle placement for maximum effectiveness.
Most patients with myofascial pain respond within one to three injection sessions. The number depends on the severity and chronicity of your condition. Your physician will reassess your response after the first injection and recommend additional sessions if needed.
CMI uses real-time ultrasound imaging during soft tissue injections to visualize muscles, tendons, and fascia. This allows precise needle placement into the target structure, reducing the risk of injury to surrounding tissue and improving procedure effectiveness.
