[ 3 ] The successful rate of TTFR is high and there are almost no complications such as incomplete release, neurovascular or flexor tendon or A2 pulley injury, infection, bow string, or ...
The two techniques Travell described are the injection of a local anesthetic and the mechanical use of a hypodermic needle without injecting a solution. [8] Travell preferred a, 1.5-in hypodermic needle for trigger point therapy and used this needle for both injection therapy and dry needling. Travell never used an acupuncture needle.

Trigger finger is a common disorder which occurs when the sheath through which tendons pass, become swollen or irritated. Initially, the finger may ...
According to Quackwatch, neural therapy is "a bizarre approach claimed to treat pain and disease by injecting local anesthetics into nerves, scars, glands, trigger points, and other tissues". [ 4 ] The idea underlying the therapy is that "interference fields" ( Störfelder ) at certain sites of the body are responsible for a type of electric ...
