Intramuscular & Trigger Point Injections near Chester & Wrexham
Consultant-led muscular and trigger point injections at Bridge House Clinic in Rossett, between Chester and Wrexham, with treatment from £300 and prices set out before you decide.
Muscular and trigger point injections target persistent muscular pain — tight, knotted or spasming muscles, and the small, exquisitely tender myofascial trigger points that can refer pain elsewhere. They are an option when the pain hasn't settled with medication, rest or physiotherapy alone.
The aim is to ease the muscular or myofascial pain and create a window in which the muscle can be stretched and rehabilitated, usually alongside physiotherapy. At Bridge House Clinic the injection is delivered by Dr Mohamed Khafaga, Consultant in Anaesthesia and Pain Management, who can assess you and, where appropriate, inject in the same visit. These injections relieve pain rather than cure the underlying problem, and some people need the treatment repeated or combined with other care — Dr Khafaga will give you a clear picture of what to expect for your situation.
Your clinician will confirm the most suitable method at your appointment.
Anything documenting your pain — clinic letters, imaging or notes from physiotherapy — helps Dr Khafaga understand what has already been tried and pinpoint the muscle or trigger point to treat.
Jot down where the pain sits, when it is worst, and whether anything settles it. Pinpointing the tender spots helps target the injection accurately.
Tell us about blood-thinning medication or any bleeding tendency, as these can affect the timing and approach to an injection.
Choose loose clothes that let Dr Khafaga reach and examine the painful muscle comfortably, particularly for the back, neck or shoulders.
Why have your muscular or trigger point injection here
Dr Khafaga examines the painful muscle, reviews your history and locates the tight area or trigger point, then explains whether an injection is likely to help — and honestly if it is not.
Together you agree whether a muscular or trigger point injection fits, what to expect, and that it eases pain rather than curing the cause and may need repeating. Both the consultation and the injection price are confirmed before you go ahead.
For a trigger point injection a local anaesthetic is used. Dr Khafaga places the injection into the targeted muscle or trigger point using a fine needle. It takes only a short time and you go home the same day.
You leave with advice on what to expect over the following days and on gentle stretching or physiotherapy, which works alongside the injection to help the muscle recover. Any review is arranged at the time.
Understanding back pain
Trigger points and muscular spasm in the back are a common source of persistent pain. Understanding what drives back pain can help you weigh up whether an injection alongside physiotherapy is right for you.

Book now→How much do muscular and trigger point injections cost? +
An intramuscular injection is £300 and a trigger point injection is £400. The initial consultation is £200 and is charged separately. Dr Khafaga confirms which injection suits you, and both the consultation and the injection price are shown before you go ahead.
Do I need a GP referral? +
No — you can book directly with us, with or without a letter from your doctor. There is no NHS waiting list.
Will the injection cure my muscle pain? +
No. These injections ease muscular and myofascial pain and create a window to rehabilitate the muscle; they do not cure the underlying cause. They are usually combined with stretching or physiotherapy, results vary from person to person, and some people need the treatment repeated or further care.
What is the difference between a muscular and a trigger point injection? +
A muscular injection settles pain in a painful, tight or spasming muscle. A trigger point injection targets a specific tender, knotted spot in the muscle — a myofascial trigger point that can refer pain elsewhere — and is given under local anaesthetic. Dr Khafaga advises which is right for you at the assessment.
Will the injection hurt? +
A trigger point injection is given under local anaesthetic to keep it as comfortable as possible. You may feel some pressure during the injection and a little soreness in the area afterwards, which usually settles over the following days.
Can I have the injection on the same day as my assessment? +
Often, yes. Dr Khafaga can assess you and, where it is appropriate, deliver the injection in the same visit. You pay for both the consultation and the injection, with both prices shown upfront.
