Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy revolves around applying pressure to 'trigger points' to alleviate pain and restore normal muscle function. This therapeutic approach is gaining increasing recognition in the world of chiropractic for its capacity to provide long-term pain relief.


How Does Trigger Point Therapy Work?

Trigger point therapy works by applying pressure to the painful muscle area, prompting the muscle to relax and relieve tension. The chiropractor locates the trigger point by palpating the muscle and looking for areas of tightness or sensitivity.

When the trigger point is compressed, it can sometimes cause referred pain, meaning the pain is felt in another part of the body. Once the chiropractor has located the trigger point, they will apply pressure using their hand or a special tool.

The pressure applied helps to increase the blood flow to the area, which aids in the removal of waste products and encourages the muscle to operate more efficiently. The relaxation of the muscle can alleviate pain and increase mobility, leading to an overall improved quality of life.


Applications for Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy can be used to treat a wide variety of physical conditions. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with muscular pain, and conditions such as headaches, temporomandibular joint pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis, back pain, and sports injuries.

Trigger point therapy can also be used to treat skeletal issues. Patients with conditions like plantar fasciitis, sciatica, and shin splints have found relief through trigger point therapy.

This versatile approach to pain management is also used in the treatment of fibromyalgia, a condition characterized by widespread muscle and joint pain, and fatigue.


The Benefits of Trigger Point Therapy

The primary benefit of trigger point therapy is its ability to identify and treat specific areas of the body experiencing chronic discomfort. It provides targeted relief by focusing on the specific points that cause pain.

Another significant benefit of this therapy is the improvement of mobility and flexibility. By releasing the tension in the muscles, trigger point therapy can significantly improve a person's range of motion.

Additionally, the stress-relieving aspects of trigger point therapy should not be overlooked. The release of tense muscles provides a significant reduction in stress levels, promoting overall wellbeing and a better quality of life.
