Hi there,
The are a couple of ways that I can think off on the top of my head:
1. Avoid the injection if possible i.e. consider oral medication where available
2. Use the smallest needle possible
3. Consider using a topical anaesthetic agent such as Emla cream
4. Ask an experienced practitioner to do the injection
5. Progressively infiltrate with local anaesthetic while doing the injection
Hope this helps.
