Trigger points are sore or irritable spots "knots" in a muscle. The area may be painful or tender to the touch and refer pain/tenderness to another area of the body.
Myofascial trigger points are commonly seen in acute and chronic pain conditions.
Trigger points can be "deactivated" using
✔️ Heat (to increase circulation and blood flow) to the muscle and surrounding areas
✔️ Soft Tissue/Massage to relieve tight muscles
✔️ Injection Therapies or Dry Needling *in office only* using needle stimulation or an injection of a solution into the tight or tender point to help provide the patient a sense of release in the muscle, and improve range of motion.
Classic Trigger Point Symptoms:
✔️ You have sore spots, sensitive to pressure, primarily in muscles
✔️ Your pain is primarily dull, aching, and nagging.
✔️ Your pain feels more like it’s in muscles than joints, and seems deep
✔️ Affected limbs may feel a little weak, heavy, and stiff
✔️ Your pain mainly occurs in a specific area with a fairly clear epicentre
✔️ There is no clear mechanism of injury, but flare-ups often occur in response to extremes of position, exercise, or temperature
✔️ Your pain is mostly (episodic), but episodes can last a long time (weeks or months)
✔️ Your pain may move around a bit…even to the other side of your body! While uncommon, it’s a distinctive symptom of trigger points
✔️ You crave massage, but it usually provides only temporary relief
✔️ Hot showers and baths are also appealing and almost always at least briefly relieving
✔️ You usually feel better with activity and exercise
✔️ Your pain is not strongly or sharply linked to movement (as an ankle sprain would be)
❌ Some symptoms that point away from trigger points include: numbness, tingling, very sharp pain, joint pain, pain with movement, abdominal pain, diffuse soreness or a widespread feeling of “fragility,” and malaise
