Pain in back and neck muscles is pretty much par for the course when it comes to computer work.

Rounded shoulders, turtled head and a concave chest are all signs of poor desk posture.

What you may not realize is that all the accompanying aches and pains are most likely caused by trigger points.

What are trigger points? They’re tiny areas of spasm in the muscles, and they’re as common as cell phones, but a lot less useful.

Trigger points most frequently cause pain in back and neck muscles, but the trouble can show up anywhere in the body.

In fact, the vast majority of muscle pain is due to trigger points, not things like accidents or injuries.

Neuromuscular therapy, aka trigger point massage, was developed specifically to tackle trigger point pain.

The most common muscles that develop trigger points due to poor desk posture are the traps and rhomboids in the back, and the pecs on the front of the body.

Trigger points in the rhomboids can make the area next the shoulder blades very tender, or it may feel like a burning sensation.

You may also hear crunching or snapping when you move your shoulder blades.

The traps are also located in the back and their trigger points can also cause a burning sensation that extends across the back.

The pecs are the big muscles of the chest. Trigger points in the pecs can spans the chest and may even go up into the shoulder and down the arm all the way to the elbow.

While other, more serious causes of chest pain should be ruled out by a doctor, most chest pain is not due to issues such as heart trouble. It’s trigger points.

Other causes of trigger points in these muscles besides too much time sitting in front of a screen include stress, falls, whiplash, and certain sleeping positions, such as lying on your stomach.

Worse, trigger points can activate other trigger points, creating a vicious cycle and making you miserable.

Standard medical treatment for back pain includes pain pills and surgery, but trigger point therapy offers safe, drug-free, 100% natural, long-lasting relief.

Neuromuscular massage works even if the problem has been troubling you for months or even years.

No matter if the problem area is in your neck, back or anywhere else, a single session can be all you need to experience total relief.

Regular appointments are also available for those with recurring issues.

The Back & Neck Relief Center (aka Massage Revolution) is the largest trigger point massage treatment center in Los Angeles and the world.

Massage Revolution accepts PPO insurance, and member savings plans are also available.

FEELING DIZZY? TRIGGER POINT MASSAGE CAN HELP

Trigger points are the cause behind pain in back and neck muscles.

But they are also the culprit behind many seemingly unrelated issues, including symptoms as wide-ranging as dizziness, blurred vision, chronic cough, sore throat, sinus congestion, and difficulty swallowing.

Trigger points are small areas of shortened muscle fibers.

Trigger points are tricky customers. They tend to fly under the radar of most doctors.

Trigger points may be tiny, but they wreak havoc throughout the body.

Research shows that about 80% of muscle pain is caused by trigger points.

Trigger point therapy and neuromuscular massage were invented to deal with this incredibly common problem.

The trigger points that cause dizziness are located in the neck muscle called the SCM, short for sternocleidomastoid (which gets its complicated name from the bones it attaches to).

The SCM is also known as the ‘whiplash muscle’ because it often gets strained in a car accident.

But you do not need to be in a car accident to develop trigger points in the SCM.

The main job of the SCM is to turn the head and flex it down in a nodding motion. It stabilizes that 10-lb. bowling ball aka your head when the rest of the body moves. The SCM also assists with chewing, swallowing and breathing.

As you can see, the SCM is an important muscle. When things go wrong with it, many issues may arise.

As mentioned above, whiplash can cause trigger points to form in the SCM. But any time the head is held in an awkward position can lead to the formation of trigger points.

Staring at a screen whether it be a phone or computer counts as an awkward position.

Other things that stress the SCM include overhead work, heavy lifting, scoliosis, and shallow breathing.

Trigger points are also notorious for sending aka referring pain to other parts of the body. Trigger points in the SCM can cause headaches, migraines, and even make you break out in a cold sweat.

Most doctors don’t understand effective treatment for trigger points. Many are not even aware of their existence!

Drugs and surgery are standard go-tos, but they don’t get at the root of the problem.

The good news is that trigger point massage and neuromuscular therapy reset muscles to their normal resting length, freeing you from pain and discomfort, and putting an end to those troubling symptoms.

Just one session can be life changing. This is true even if you’ve had the problem for years.

Regularly-scheduled sessions are advisable to work on recurrent issues, such as when work or other activities cause extra stress on the neck and/or other parts of the body.

Los Angeles’ own Massage Revolution’s Back & Neck Relief Center is the biggest trigger point massage treatment center in the world.

There is a 100% natural solution to your dizziness problem, as well as so many other types of pain.

Trigger point massage works.

Stiff neck, torticollis, herniated disc, tension headache, neck strain, arthritis, these are just some of the common diagnoses for neck pain.

But the truth is that the number one cause of neck pain is trigger points.

Some 85% of all muscle pain is caused by trigger points.

Neuromuscular massage and trigger point massage therapy is the best way to deal with trigger point pain.

The anatomy of the neck is complicated. Dozens of muscles work together to hold up that 10-lb. bowling ball (aka your head) and allow it to move.

Any given muscle can have more than one trigger point, which adds up to a lot of potential for pain.

Trigger points in the neck can also refer or send pain elsewhere. The trouble may start in the neck, but spread down into the shoulders and arm or up into the head.

Trigger points can also cause other seemingly unrelated symptoms, including a runny nose, sore throat, or dizziness.

Doctors tend to diagnose the problem in terms of the symptoms, but giving you medicine for a headache will not solve the problem if it’s due to trigger points.

Trigger points may be latent or active. When they’re latent, they often feel like a deep ache, cause stiffness or soreness, and may limit range of motion.

Active trigger points are easy to find because they hurt like heck.

Trigger points in the front of the neck can be particularly sensitive.

Trigger points develop from a variety of causes. Accidents and injuries are one way, but under-and overuse are also common causes, such as sitting in a desk chair for too long, or using one that isn’t ergonomic for your body.

Spending too much time staring at your cell phone (aka text neck) is another popular culprit. Even an incorrect glasses prescription can set off trigger points.

In the case of physical trauma, even after the injury heals, the trigger points may linger, causing on-going pain and suffering.

While pain pills may help in the short run, trigger point therapy offers safe, 100% natural relief without resorting to meds.

Even better, neuromuscular massage offers long-term and even permanent relief because it gets at the root of the problem.

Trigger point therapy works even if you’ve been dealing with the issue for years.

Massage Revolution’s Back & Neck Relief Center is the best massage clinic in South Bay and greater Los Angeles. It employs the largest collection of trigger point massage therapists around the globe.

A single session of trigger point massage and neuromuscular therapy may be all you need to obtain lasting relief.

For those with recurring issues, regularly scheduled appointments are another option.

There is no need to live with neck pain, back pain, or any pain. Appointments are available today.

PPO insurance accepted. Member savings plans are also available.

We’ve had a lot of downs in 2020: less going in to the office, less travel, less face-to-face social interaction. But other things are up. For example, there’s been an exponential explosion of the wearing of sweatpants. We’ve also seen a sharp increase in things like back pain and headaches. While these last two aren’t something to get psyched about, there is a natural, drug-free way to manage them. If you’ve been getting more than your fair share of headaches lately, give trigger point massage therapy a try.

Trigger points can cause a lot of different symptoms: pain in back and neck muscles, ringing in the ears, jaw pain, and headaches. Trigger points come in two flavors: latent and active. Latent ones usually only hurt when you press on them, and often cause mild symptoms such as stiffness, tightness, and a general feeling of soreness, whereas active trigger points can feel like you’ve got a knife stuck in you. Trigger points can also send or refer pain elsewhere. Thus, a trigger point in your trapezius muscle can show up in the form of a headache.

Where do these little nasties come from? Trigger points can crop up for different reasons, but a couple of common ones are incorrect posture and sitting too long, especially when you toss in the added component of staring at a screen. But even if you don’t know where your trigger points came from, you can find relief from them with neuromuscular massage and trigger point therapy.

Massage Revolution’s Back & Neck Relief Center is LA’s #1 rated massage clinic. We are open, ready and willing to help relieve your headache pain, and any other issues you may have caused by trigger points. The usual feedback we get from clients after their first session is one of incredible relief, but in the case of headaches, eye strain and the unavoidable screen time that often causes them, regular sessions may be your best option. No matter what you decide, you do have better, more natural choices than popping pain pills all day long. Find relief today with a session of trigger point massage therapy.

A myofascial trigger point (TP) is a hyper-irritable area in muscle that is commonly felt by palpating (feeling with the fingers). Although more sophisticated ways exist for locating TPs—ultrasound, microdialysis, electromyography, infrared thermography, and MRI—palpation with hands remains the most utilized due to its simplicity, efficiency, and low cost. For patients with migraine and tension-type headaches, trigger points are commonly found at the base of the skull/upper neck, paraspinal neck muscles, the upper trapezius, and/or the levator scapulae muscle.

In one study that included 34 headaches sufferers (20 had migraine headaches without aura and 14 had tension-type headaches) and 34 non-headache controls, researchers looked at what happened when they used a specific technique to recreate the effect of a trigger point on muscles in the upper neck and in the arm.

When the researchers stimulated the upper neck, 8 of the 14 (57%) members of the non-headache control group, all 14 TTH subjects, and 19 of the 20 migraine sufferers reported headache-related symptoms. On the other hand, when the same technique was used on the arm of each participant, none reported headache-like symptoms.

The authors concluded that the high incidence and accuracy of headache reproduction from upper neck stimulation supports the importance of evaluation and treatment of trigger points in the upper neck region in those with TTH and migraine headaches. Neuromuscular massager therapists at Massage Revolution’s Back & Neck Relief Center commonly perform manual techniques to the upper neck region and train their headache clients to identify and self-manage trigger points located in the upper neck muscles.

Several methods can be used to self-treat trigger points in the upper neck region. Perhaps the easiest approach is to reach back with your thumb to the muscle attachments along the base of the skull and apply deep (but tolerated) pressure, feeling for areas that are most sensitive and sliding the thumb up/down and across the sore TP until it becomes less tender. Work the left side with the left thumb and vice versa. Doing the same with small head movements—up/down, left/right rotations, etc. helps.

Another method is to sit in a straight-back chair, slide down so that you cradle your upper neck over the top edge of chair back and then roll your head left to right. When you find a sore TP, add a nodding type of head motion while “digging in” over the chair-back edge (within tolerance) until it loosens and hurts less.

If you suffer from headaches, your neuromuscular massage therapist can train you in these and other effective exercises and render treatment to improve cervical function that can be highly effective at reducing both the frequency and intensity of headaches.

Myofascial pain syndrome or MPS has become a very common diagnosis. Some 45 million Americans have symptoms of MPS, including trouble sleeping due to pain; deep, persistent or worsening pain; and extremely sensitive muscle knots. The tender spots are also known as trigger points , and these tiny zingers can really pack a wallop, preventing you from doing the things you love, not to mention making you downright miserable. The good news is that you can get relief from trigger point pain without popping pills for the rest of your days. Trigger point massage therapy is highly effective in releasing the tender points that are causing your problems.

Where do trigger points come from? Injury is a common culprit, as is repetitive use, but trigger points can also build as a result of inactivity, such as too much sitting. A vicious cycle often ensues: poor posture and poor-quality sleep can worsen trigger points , which leads to increased pain, less sleep and even worse posture.

Trigger points in back and neck muscles are some of the common places for the problem to crop up, but you can develop trigger points just about anywhere in the body. To complicate matters further, trigger points can cause stiffness and pain throughout the body, not just at the site of the tender spot. This all adds up to a lot of suffering.

It’s important to treat your trigger points not only because they are painful, but also because they can reduce your range of motion, leaving you stiff, sore, and unable to perform your usual activities. While doctors may recommend injections or pain pills, there is a natural way to treat the problem: trigger point therapy . The whole purpose of neuromuscular massage is to reset the muscles to their natural, pain-free state. Get rid of the trigger point, the pain goes. Get rid of the pain, you sleep better and move better, and your whole quality of life improves. You’ve just replaced that vicious cycle with a positive feedback loop.

At Massage Revolution’s Back & Neck Relief Center, we specialize in trigger point therapy and neuromuscular massage . We’ve been releasing trigger points for over a dozen years and we’re the best in the business. A single session with one of our 35+ highly qualified therapists may be all you need to experience total relief, but you might also prefer to schedule regular appointments to keep the problem at bay. Either way, we’re ready and waiting to help free you from unnecessary pain and suffering.

It’s the time of year for making a list and checking it twice. If one of the items on your list is to check the balance in your HSA or FSA and you discover a little extra, you might want to use some of those funds on a massage.

From stress and pain relief to better circulation, massage therapy offers many benefits that qualify as medical treatment, and massage is often covered by health insurance. But even if it’s not, it is still likely you can pay for your massage treatment out of your HSA or FSA, significantly reducing your overall cost.

WHAT IS AN HSA/FSA?

A Health Savings Account (HSA) and a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) both refer to special type of savings accounts which allow you to use pre-tax dollars to cover a variety of expenses related to health, including prescriptions, copays, deductibles, and complementary treatments like massage therapy.

You open an HSA or FSA through your employer, and decide how much you want put into that account. This money goes directly into the HSA or FSA before taxes are taken out. Sometimes your employer may also contribute to your fund, but as is typical with anything that involves taxes, it’s important to read the fine print. If you have any questions, talk to your HR department to make sure you fully understand the ins and outs of the different kinds of medical expense savings accounts.

Whether you have an HSA or an FSA, you usually get a debit card to pay for qualifying expenses, although in some cases, you submit a receipt and get reimbursed. So long as you use your HSA or FSA for health-related expenses, you don’t pay income tax on that money.

WHY BOTHER WITH AN HSA OR FSA?

HSAs and FSAs offer many benefits, the biggest of which is saving you money. Also, while no one wants to think about being in an accident or having a major health problem, medical emergencies do happen, and so it can add to your peace of mind to have some money set aside in case of unforeseen health expenses.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN HSA AND AN FSA?

The main difference between the two accounts is that the balance in an HSA can be carried over from year to year, so if you don’t have much in the way of medical expenses one year, you can save up for the future. FSAs, on the other hand, need to be used by December 31st in the year in which they were saved. With FSAs, the amount you elect to set aside does not carry over into the new year.

So while HSAs and FSAs are not exactly the same thing, their differences don’t matter when it comes to using the funds to pay for your massage. But, if you have an FSA and currently have money remaining in your account, this is a great reason to book a massage.

HOW CAN I USE AN HSA/FSA TO COVER MY MASSAGE?

No matter whether you have an HSA or FSA, massage therapy is usually considered a legitimate medical expense by most insurance companies. Still, to be sure, check with your carrier or ask an HR representative at work because some plans do not cover massage, even with a doctor’s prescription. However, this is not common and most people encounter no difficulty paying for their massage with their HSA or FSA.

After your insurance company confirms that it does endorse massage therapy as medical treatment, call your primary care physician to ask about adding massage to your wellness or treatment plan. Many doctors are willing to provide the prescription through a simple call and do not require you to make an appointment. However, some may still want you to come in so that you can go over your reasons for requesting massage therapy. If you want any help, Dr. McClain who works with us can assist.

Whether or not your doctor wants to see you in person, s/he will probably want specifics about your symptoms. Massage therapy offers beneficial effects for a wide variety of conditions: back pain, stress, depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, arthritis, and poor circulation as a complication of diabetes are just some of the symptoms that can be alleviated by massage.

Not all doctors are aware of the benefits of massage and some may be resistant to alternative treatments, so go to your appointment prepared. You could mention specific massage modalities such as Swedish massage for stress-relief or to lower blood pressure, or neuromuscular therapy for back pain or migraines. If you know your doctor tends toward conventional treatment, you could even surf the web ahead of time and bring along a few case studies that demonstrate the value of massage therapy. Again, feel free to call us, as Dr. McClain works with us and is glad to assist.

For many insurance plans, a doctor’s prescription is needed in order for massage to qualify as a legitimate expense for an HSA or FSA.

The prescription must include the reason you are getting the massage. This might be an injury or medical condition. Just like with medication where a prescription might read ‘Take one pill morning and night,’ the massage prescription must state the number of sessions required per month. It could be once a month, biweekly or every week. If you plan to get regular massage, you may want to consider a membership as a way to save even more money. The prescription must also indicate the duration of treatment, perhaps 6 months or a year. It may also indicate the session length, such as a 30-, 60- or 90-minute treatment.

This may sound like a lot of work, but it’s usually not difficult to get a prescription for massage. Massage is so mainstream nowadays that many healthcare practitioners don’t even require a visit to write one up.

Once you have your prescription, all that’s left to to do is to book an appointment with a licensed massage therapist. Use your HSA or FSA debit card to pay for the session and you’re good to go! If you decide to sign up for a membership, you simply link your HSA/FSA debit card account, and then relax. The session fee will be automatically debited, one less thing for you to think about.

Remember that FSAs expire at the end of each calendar year, so if you’ve got some excess funds lying around, a massage is a great way to use them in a way that has a direct positive impact on your health.

HOW MUCH CAN I SAVE WITH AN HSA/FSA?

More than you might think. Each year, you can save 30-40% from your out-of-pocket expenses by paying for massage with your HSA or FSA. And if you sign up for a membership, you can save even more.

The normal rate for a 1-hour neuromuscular massage is $149, but it can cost as little as $79 for Massage Revolution members. Discounts apply to all our other massages as well. A 1-hour therapeutic massage, normally priced at $99, is only $59 for members. If you get massage regularly, that adds up to thousands in savings every year!

ANY OTHER TIPS FOR USING MY HSA/FSA FOR MASSAGE?

When you go to your doctor to ask for a prescription for massage, be honest about your reasons for seeking this type of treatment. Massage therapy can be a great way to improve your health, healing and overall wellbeing, so there is no need to invent injuries or illnesses. Dr. McClain again is happy to help.

Likewise, be sure to use your HSA/FSA only for massages that are covered by your prescription, and to keep good records for tax purposes. Massage therapy offers many health benefits, and an HSA or FSA can help keep your wallet healthy too.

Migraine is a common type of headache that affects many people. It is characterized by recurrent moderate to severe pain which affects one-half of the head. Patient may also experience sensitivity to light, smells, or sounds, eye pain, and sometimes nausea and vomiting. There are oral medications that offer temporary pain relief but not often a path to eliminating the condition.

At Massage Revolution Back & Neck Relief Center, migraine treatment services offer a proven path to addressing the root cause of your migraine problem. The treatment is delivered naturally without need for medications.

Our massage specialists employ natural remedies for migraines through a process called Neuromuscular Massage Therapy. Migraines are caused by deeply rooted tight muscles in numerous parts of the body. Knotted muscles in the shoulders (particularly the upper trapezius muscles) can cause constant migraines and headaches. They can also develop trigger points that cause pain in other parts of the body as well. Poor posture can be a contributing factor. When the neck and shoulders are out of alignment, it leads to injury and inflammation. Migraines are triggered by neck inflammation as well.

Neuromuscular massage techniques applies slow and targeted pressure over trigger points. It will help correct your migraine issues. This treatment can also help restore range of motion, eliminate pain, and improve posture. Relaxed muscles and good posture can address chronic migraine issues completely.

For more information about this natural cure for migraines, contact Massage Revolution Back & Neck Relief Center.

Do you get frequent headaches or migraines? Do you wake up in the morning with neck pain after sleeping? Do you have pain in the front of the neck? If you answered ‘yes’ to any or all of these questions, Massage Revolution here in Manhattan Beach can help clarify many of the common causes of headaches.

Headaches may seem like a minor complaint, but they cost big in terms of dollars and lost productivity. How many days of work do you think people lose, collectively, due to headaches each year, just in the US? A hundred? A thousand? A hundred thousand? Try 157 million. (Yes, there really are people who track this sort of info.) Want to take a guess at how much that adds up to in terms of absenteeism and medical bills? We’ll just tell you: around $50 billion.

It’s estimated that for around 20% of patients who suffer from chronic headaches, their pain starts in the neck. Tight muscles in the neck are also a common cause of migraine headaches. If you suffer from regular headaches, you probably don’t want to be popping pills all the time, and that’s where we come in. Neuromuscular and trigger point massage therapy is the most effective manual treatment for neck muscle pain and headaches.

Trigger points (sore spots that may radiate pain elsewhere) are common with chronic pain and the causes of migraine headaches quite often. Typically, the trigger points for neck pain are found in the neck itself, and also the upper back. Our specially-trained advanced neuromuscular massage therapists determine where the trigger points are located, as well as where best to apply treatment in order to restore your muscles to their normal, relaxed, pain-free state.

Like many (if not most) complementary and alternative therapies, massage often gets treated like the red-headed stepchild when it comes to serious research. But there are new studies that prove that patients who suffer from neck pain have more pain-free days with high quality evidenced-based neuromuscular trigger point massage and bodywork than those who do not use massage therapy.

The results of these studies help everyone — patients and practitioners — to find the best treatment for optimum results for the most common causes of headaches. While these guidelines are helpful, we custom-tailor the session to your individual needs. Contact us!

One of the most common complaints in America today is the ‘tension headache,’ a pain at the base of the skull that will often be accompanied by pain running up behind the ear, pain at or just in front of the temple, or more rarely in the ridge above one eye. The name ‘tension’ headache implies one may be shouldering too heavy of a burden…and in fact, that metaphor may be more literal than anyone thinks. A study published in the journal Headache showed that people with myofascial trigger points in the trapezius muscle had tension headaches that were longer and more painful than those without. By no coincidence, all of the regions mentioned above are areas where shoulder pain is known to refer — so the next time the base of your skull is pounding and no amount of NSAIDs or meditation will help, call a trigger point therapist and ask them to take your shoulder off the grindstone. If you want to get lasting relief from back pain, neck pain, sciatica, and more, then call and book neuromuscular massage today!

Neuromuscular Trigger Point Massage in Manhattan Beach:The #1 Reason For Headache Pain from Back of Head to Eyes

Headaches from the back of the head, to the forehead and eyes, that feel like the whole side of the heads hurts, almost like a migraine, is common. The suboccipital muscles are the deepest muscles at the base of the skull and the major muscular source of this head pain. In this case study of 160 female office workers, 63% of the 72 subjects with disturbing neck symptoms had suboccipital tenderness to palpation, very likely from trigger points. These muscles often develop trigger points from forward-head posture, prolonged looking upwards, and emotional tensions. Neuromuscular Therapist specialists are able to release trigger points in the suboccipital muscles quite effectively. If you want to get lasting relief from back pain, neck pain, sciatica, and more, then call and book neuromuscular massage today!
