 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would like to thank Lora Anderson L.M.T and the entire office staff at LI Chiropractic & Physical Therapy for getting me the appointments I needed and especially Lora for the treatment of my illio tibial band issue and addressing my rotator cuff, hamstring and quad pain. Her knowledge , massage treatment tand advice enabled me to play almost every game in my Senior Softball Season and complete our second consecutive League Championship. I can only imagine how beneficial she and this office staff would be to younger athletes with issues and Seniors dealing with pain and similar muscle skeletal issues.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I first started my therapy at LI Chiropractic and PT I couldn’t use my left arm and the pain in my neck and back was debilitating! Now I have no pain, I have full range of motion in my neck and arm, and I have an overall feeling of well being. Dr. Smith and his professional staff were knowledgeable and compassionate throughout my treatment. Getting my therapy here was the best decision I made to regain my physical limitations.

Trigger points injections are considered safe. The treatment is usually carried out by skilled and licensed practitioners. The risk of developing complications during and after treatment is very low.

How Many Injections Does a Person Require to Get Relief?

Some patients find relief after a single injection. This is especially possible if a person has a single isolated trigger point caused by trauma.

The frequency of injections depends on the medication being injected.
