neck pains Archives - Massage Revolution

Everyone knows what pain is, unfortunately. As for myofascial, ‘myo,’ means ‘muscle,’ and ‘fascia’ means connective tissue, in this case the tissue that surrounds your muscles. Fascia is continuous throughout the body. You can think of it as a really long roll of natural plastic wrap; it’s amazing stuff that holds everything together. But because fascia connects the entire body, tiny knots in the muscles known as trigger points can create pain far away from the source of the problem. This can make it difficult to determine where the issue is coming from. For example, trigger points in back or neck muscles might cause pain in the head, down the arms, in the hips or legs. Trigger points can also mimic other problems such as fibromyalgia, sciatica, TMJ or even really scary stuff like chest pain that makes you wonder if you’re having a heart attack. The good news is that neuromuscular massage was designed to treat myofascial pain, and best of all, trigger point therapy is natural, no drugs or surgery required.

A vast majority of Americans — more than 100 million — suffers from chronic pain. Unlike acute pain which lasts a relatively short amount of time, chronic pain goes on for weeks, months, or even years. The thing about acute pain, though, is that it sometimes becomes chronic. This is because when a muscle is hurt, overused or otherwise harmed, trigger points may form. The body is very good and tightening up to protect itself. Where it sometimes needs a little help is letting go once the danger is past. That’s where neuromuscular massage and trigger point therapy come in.

Your muscle pain probably matters to you, and it definitely matters to the massage therapists at Massage Revolution’s Back & Neck Relief Center. If conventional medicine has failed to treat your pain, give us a try. Neuromuscular massage is proven safe and effective to treat your trigger point pain. Although most of our clients experience amazing relief after a single session, many prefer to get regular treatments to keep their pain in check. There is no reason to suffer. Call us today.

Got back pain? Studies show that some 80% of us will suffer from back pain at some point or other in our lives. But seeing as that’s most of us, this fact probably doesn’t come as a surprise. What you might not know is that research also shows that a whopping three-quarters of our pain is caused by trigger points. To be sure, things like herniated discs and arthritis could be the source of your back pain, as could a whole laundry list of other problems from kidney stones to scoliosis. But by and large, trigger points, which are tiny, extremely sensitive micro-cramps in your muscles, are most often to blame.

Trigger points in back and neck muscles, and really anywhere in the body, are usually the result of poor posture and/or overuse, such as work- or sports-related repetitive motions. Stress, nutritional deficiencies and environmental toxins can also cause trigger points. So can a car accident, a lumpy pillow or even an air conditioning vent blowing on your neck. So what? you might think. So, these little gremlins known as trigger points cause big problems, changing the way you sit, stand, and move. This in turn puts stress on your muscles, tendons and joints, and can add up to dysfunction throughout the body.

The bad news is that trigger points are not well-studied — or even understood — by the medical community. Doctors tend to prescribe medications or surgery to treat the symptoms, but these things rarely address the source of the problem. The good news is that neuromuscular massage and trigger point therapy can alleviate your trigger point pain, all without drugs or surgery.

The massage therapists at Massage Revolution’s Back & Neck Relief Center are the best in the business and have all received advanced training in finding and treating trigger points in back muscles, in neck muscles, or anywhere they appear on the body. Many of our clients experience amazing relief after a single session of trigger point massage, while others prefer to schedule regular appointments to keep on top of their triggers. Either way, there’s no need to suffer due to trigger point pain. What are you waiting for? Call and schedule your neuromuscular massage appointment today.

Whether or not you subscribe to the “no pain, no gain” philosophy of exercise, this rule doesn’t apply when it comes to needless suffering due to trigger points in back or neck muscles. Trigger points are tiny cramps in your muscles that can appear as a result of injury, under or overuse, stress or poor posture. But there’s no reason to let that crick in your back interfere with your life. Trigger point therapy can relieve your pain without drugs or surgery, and often in just a single session.

Trigger points can cause a laundry list of symptoms, the most common being back pain. But trigger points in neck muscles can lead to more esoteric issues like ringing in the ears, dizziness, teeth grinding, or a sore throat. Other problems that are seemingly unrelated to muscles but are sometimes caused by trigger points in back muscles are diarrhea, irritable bowel, nausea and sciatica-type pain. Trigger points can even cause a fluttery heartbeat and make you feel like you’re having a heart attack.

For as much trouble as they cause, trigger points are poorly understood throughout the medical community. This is partly because muscle pain isn’t well researched, and also because trigger point pain mimics other issues that doctors are more familiar with treating. But if your runny nose is due to a trigger point, you can snort nasal spray all day long without ever getting closer to solving your problem. Even a seemingly minor complaint like a headache may cause you to say no to activities you’d really rather take part in, and missing out reduces your quality of life. This is where we come in.

At Massage Revolution’s Back and Neck Relief Center, our expert massage therapists treat all the signs and symptoms of trigger point pain. While it’s likely you’ll feel amazing relief after one session of neuromuscular massage or trigger point therapy , many of our clients choose to make regular appointments to keep their pain in check. Say goodbye to pain, and hello to a body that functions the way it was meant to.

The expression ‘a pain in the neck’ exists for good reason. If you’ve never woken up with a stiff neck, you’re in the lucky minority. Neck pain can ruin your day and keep you from giving your all. If you suffer from chronic neck pain but don’t want to pop pain pills all the time, neuromuscular massage and bodywork may be the natural solution for you.

Why does your neck hurt after sleeping? Sometimes neck pains are simply the result of sleeping wrong. Your neck got twisted, there was a cold draught, or maybe you had to sleep in an unfamiliar bed, or perhaps you’ve been experiencing extra stress lately. Maybe all you need is a good night’s sleep and the pain disappears. But if that’s the case, you probably aren’t reading this article.

Neck pain can make it hard to concentrate on other things like work or enjoying time with your family and friends. So if you’ve switched up your pillow and the position you sleep in, made changes to your diet and tried going to bed early, and still your neck hurts, give us a call. Our neuromuscular massage therapists in Los Angeles can help.

Studies show that sleep position isn’t always the cause of muscle pain in the neck. It is sometimes the type of sleep. People who have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, wake too early or don’t find sleep to be restorative are far more likely to feel pain than those who get good-quality sleep. This loss of sleep can disrupt the healing cycle that normally takes place while you are asleep. Worse, the pain might be the reason you’re waking up, contributing to the vicious cycle.

Neuromuscular massage therapy and bodywork can help break that cycle by relaxing the muscles of the neck and restoring them to their correct position.

Note: In certain situations, neck pain can indicate a more serious problem. If the pain persists, it could be due to arthritis, worn joints, or an injury such as whiplash. If the pain is severe or if your neck is twisting to one side, you may have acute torticollis. This condition can be due to a number of factors including infection, and medical intervention may be required. Our chiropractic doctors will evaluate your individual situation and find the right course of treatment for you. Contact us!
