Question Trigger point therapy "hands on" vs injections?

Have any of you had any "hands on" type of trigger point therapy ?
manual therapy vs injections?
If you had manual TrP tx was it helpful or not?

or do the injections come about when the "hands on" doesn't last for very long?

I've been wondering about that for quite awhile and thought I'd finally ask.

I suppose the inj are a one time thing - until they wear off
Where as the manual tx would have to be done in a certain number sessions to be sure you got them all released, as well as the latent ones.

Then after the TrPs are released you probably need to have some myofascial
release and stretching.

I suppose cost wise it's a toss up, and travel/ appt wise the inj would save time & driving.
