Q: would a trigger point injection in just two areas be helpful for severe muscle knots? or would more need to be done?

No hard &amp; fast rule: The only way to know is to have it done and see how you respond. Trigger-point injections can be remarkably effective, but everyone is different. If you need more done, more can always be done. Cross that bridge when you come to it.
