Are you tired of dealing with persistent discomfort that seems to linger no matter what you do? Embark on a journey to alleviate discomfort and enhance muscle function with trigger point therapy. Often referred to as muscle knots, trigger points are localized areas of intense muscle cramping within larger muscle groups. Whether arising spontaneously or due to injury, these points can induce "referred pain," where discomfort is felt in a different area upon applying pressure. At Duncan Chiropractic Group, we harness the power of trigger point therapy for a natural approach to pain relief and muscular rehabilitation.
What makes trigger points unique is their ability to cause discomfort in seemingly unrelated areas. For instance, wrist pain might stem from a trigger point located in the armpit. This phenomenon of referred pain allows our trigger point therapy to address a multitude of discomforts in various parts of the body. Below are some examples of symptoms that may be linked to trigger points in distant body regions:
Symptoms Associated with Trigger Points
- Jaw pain
- Sinusitis
- Tinnitus
- Muscle pain
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Shoulder pain
- And other discomforts
Our approach to trigger point therapy involves the strategic application and release of pressure using specialized instruments, fingers, or thumbs. By targeting the tender areas and maintaining pressure until the discomfort subsides and the muscle relaxes, we aim to provide gentle and effective relief. Severe cases may require multiple sessions, often complemented by additional chiropractic adjustments. Rest assured, our commitment lies in resolving your pain with utmost care and efficacy.
Putting our patients' well-being above all else is our guiding principle. Reclaim comfort and mobility in your daily life with trigger point therapy at Duncan Chiropractic Group. To learn more, contact us today or schedule your appointment.
