A trigger point is a discrete, focal and hyperirritable nodule in the taut band of the skeletal muscles’ fascia. The fascia is an area in the muscle or connective tissue that’s painful when pressed. Trigger points, like acupressure points or acupuncture points, can feel like knots beneath your skin, and they’re common in your upper back and shoulder areas.
Trigger point pain accompanies most chronic musculoskeletal disorders. The pain may also develop with advancing age or from shoulder injuries, knee injuries or other joint problems and conditions. A knowledgeable pain specialist can press on the trigger point with concentrated amounts of pressure to relieve muscle spasms. A trigger point injection with pain-relieving medication is another pain management option.

Anne ★★★★★I went to Dr. Hosny with lower back pain. I spend many hours sitting in a truck for my job. After an hour or so I would get pain in my back. Since I am a truck driver, pain killers were not an option for me. After a few sessions with Dr. Hosny, I am pain free. The staff at New Jersey Pain Care Center and are wonderful and caring people. I would recommend anyone go to Dr. Hosny if they want real results.
Jeff ★★★★★I had gone to Dr. Hosny with severe back pain after spinal surgery. It was debilitating pain that stopped me from being able to function normally. Dr. Hosny suggested that I have a Spinal Cord Stimulator implanted in my back. It is the best thing I EVER did. I am so excited to be able to return to my normal life with no medication. My experience at the pain center was wonderful. The nurses were very understanding and kind.
Glen ★★★★★I have had back surgeries that provided me no relief from my pain. After a few treatments with Dr. Hosny, I have almost no discomfort. I have no need for my pain medication anymore, and have been able to go back to working out and enjoying activities with my family. I was pleasantly surprised at the treatment I received at New Jersey Pain Care Center. The staff is very nice, and treats you with respect. The facility is clean, bright and everything is brand new.
Jen ★★★★★I had been having pain in my neck for many years. I had been to other doctors and they all recommended that I have surgery. I was hesitant to get surgery, so I wanted one more opinion. I had a friend tell me about Dr. Hosny and New Jersey Pain Care Center. From the moment I met Dr. Hosny I knew he wasn’t your average doctor. He took the time to listen to my concerns about surgery, and he agreed. After my cervical radiofrequency, I have full range of motion back in my neck, and best of all, no pain.
