You’ve been trying to do all the right things: stretching, heating pads, Advil, physical therapy. But that sharp ache won’t let up. Your knees still throb after a short walk. Or maybe your lower back locks up by midday from sitting at a desk. It’s frustrating, exhausting, and starting to affect your quality of life.


If this sounds like you, you’re not alone, and you’re not out of options.

At Moi Health and Wellness, we help our patients find lasting relief through regenerative medicine, specifically Trigger Point Injections and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy. These treatments go beyond temporary fixes. They work with your body’s natural healing abilities to repair the root cause of pain, not just mask it.


What Are Trigger Point Injections?

Have you ever felt a knot in your neck or back so tight it feels like a rock? That’s a trigger point, a small, tense area in your muscle that can cause local pain or send pain to other areas (called referred pain).

You might feel this in your:

  • Neck and shoulders (especially from stress or poor posture)

  • Jaw and face (common with TMJ)

  • Lower back or hips

  • Glutes and legs

  • Chest or upper arms

These areas can become tender, stiff, and even limit your mobility. While massage, heat, or dry needling can sometimes help, the results often don’t last.

Trigger Point Injections are a simple, in-office treatment where a small amount of anesthetic (sometimes with an anti-inflammatory) is injected directly into the trigger point. This helps:

  • Relax the tight muscle

  • Improve circulation

  • Relieve pain

  • Restore range of motion

Most patients feel relief almost immediately and continue to improve over the next few days. It’s a quick and effective way to reset the muscle and finally get ahead of that nagging pain.


What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?

Now let’s talk about the deeper, more stubborn injuries, joint pain that keeps flaring up, tendon injuries that never seem to fully heal, or inflammation from conditions like osteoarthritis.

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, and it comes from your own blood. Your blood naturally contains platelets and growth factors that help your body heal. PRP therapy works by drawing a small sample of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting that golden plasma directly into the injured or painful area.


PRP is commonly used for:

  • Knee, shoulder, hip, or elbow pain

  • Arthritis and joint degeneration

  • Tendonitis (like tennis elbow or Achilles pain)

  • Rotator cuff injuries

  • Overuse or repetitive strain injuries

What makes PRP so powerful is that it doesn’t just reduce pain, it helps your body regenerate tissue, decrease inflammation, and restore function over time. Since it’s made from your blood, the risk of side effects is minimal, and it’s an excellent option for people who want a more natural, non-surgical solution.


Why Regenerative Medicine?

Most conventional treatments (like cortisone shots or pain pills) are designed to suppress symptoms. Regenerative medicine, on the other hand, is focused on repair, helping your body rebuild and heal.


Benefits of PRP and Trigger Point Injections:

  • Minimal downtime

  • Lower need for prescription pain medications

  • Targets the root cause of pain

  • Supports faster, more complete healing

  • Safe and natural with little to no side effects


We often combine PRP and trigger point therapy in customized treatment plans for patients who have both joint pain and muscle tension because the body works best when treated as a whole.


What to Expect at Moi Health and Wellness

When you come in for a consultation, we’ll take the time to listen to your symptoms, assess your movement, and discuss your goals. From there, we’ll recommend a plan that might include PRP therapy, trigger point injections, or other supportive therapies.

You’ll be cared for by experienced professionals who understand that pain isn’t just physical; it affects your energy, mood, and confidence too. We’re here to help you get back to feeling like yourself again.


Is This Right for You?

If you’ve been living with:

  • Ongoing muscle tightness that never fully releases

  • Chronic joint pain or inflammation

  • Frustration from limited mobility

Trigger Point Injections and PRP Therapy can offer real, lasting relief without relying on painkillers or invasive procedures.
