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.
