What are Trigger Points?

Trigger points, or muscle knots, are tender, tense areas causing persistent pain and reduced blood flow. Common causes include accidents, spinal problems, and muscle overuse. These points are usually located in the back, neck, shoulders, and other major muscle groups. Small knots or areas of spasm within a muscle shorten and contract the muscle, causing pain and discomfort.

What is Trigger Point Therapy?

During trigger point therapy, our chiropractor applies pressure on your trigger points, temporarily cutting off circulation to the affected tissue and helping open small blood vessels to reduce pain. We will discuss any regions causing pain and examine the area to determine the trigger points. Pressure is applied to relieve pain, and while you may feel some discomfort, it should fade quickly. Multiple sessions may be recommended for full healing.

Trigger Point Injections

Trigger point injections, containing Lidocaine and Sarapin®, relieve tension, reduce inflammation, and promote muscle relaxation. Regular therapy helps eliminate trigger points and achieve a pain-free life. These injections immediately relieve tension by stopping the spasm and helping the muscle relax, promoting muscle memory to gradually eliminate the pain.

Active vs. Passive Trigger Points

Active trigger points cause pain in different body parts when pressed, while passive trigger points only hurt at the specific location. Both types can be effectively treated.

Medical Massage Therapy

We offer licensed medical massage therapy on-site to complement trigger point therapy. Our skilled therapists help reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance overall well-being.
