Weather Advisory: Temporary Door Closure

Due to extreme cold, access through the Moakley Building's entrance off Boston Medical Center Place will be temporarily closed from 4 p.m. Friday, Feb. 6, through 7 a.m. Monday, Feb. 9.

All patients and visitors should use the main entrance for the Menino and Yawkey Buildings during this time. The hospital remains open and operating as normal.

We appreciate your patience as we take these precautions during severe winter weather.

Trigger point injections are a safe and very effective remedy for painful muscles around the neck, shoulders, and back.  A small needle is inserted into the muscle and releases the "knot," an action which usually leads to lasting relief for up to two months.  It can be thought of as a very strong massage.
