Trigger Point Massage Therapy Archives

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.

“My back is killing me.”

If you’ve uttered this phrase or the thought has crossed your mind recently, you’re not alone. Pain is a serious problem. Somewhere between 50-100 million Americans suffer from some type of chronic pain, and about 25 million of those say they’re in pain on a daily basis. A whopping 80% of Americans will suffer from back pain at some point or other, and one out of every three adults say back pain has an impact on their everyday activities, including important stuff like sleep. The good news is that there is a drug-free, surgery-free way to get relief for your chronic back pain : trigger point massage .

While most of us have experienced back or neck pain, very few of us know what causes the problem. Stress, poor posture, a sedentary lifestyle, and injuries are common culprits, but a lesser known cause of back and neck pain are trigger points . Trigger points are tiny micro-cramps in the muscles. Sometimes, they’re a complication that happen following an injury. Other times, trigger points are the source of the problem. And plenty of times, they’re like the chicken-and-egg conundrum, a little bit of both.

Trigger points can cause pain anywhere, such as in back or neck muscles. This is called local pain, and it means you feel it right where the trigger point is located. Trigger points can also refer pain elsewhere, such as up into your head or down into your hips and legs. When you have a whole bunch of trigger points , this is called myofascial pain syndrome, or MPS.

Fibromyalgia is another common type of chronic pain. Some 10 million Americans have been diagnosed with the condition, but it is possible (and even probable) that the tender points doctors use to diagnose fibromyalgia may also be trigger points .

The massage therapists at Massage Revolution’s Back & Neck Relief Center are experts at unraveling the mystery of trigger point pain . Because chronic pain is, well, chronic, many of our customers prefer to come for regular appointments, but you can experience amazing relief after just a single session. Trigger point therapy and neuromuscular massage might just be the piece of the puzzle you’ve been missing to solve the mystery of your chronic pain.

Trigger points are small but incredibly sensitive areas in your muscles that can cause intense pain in neck and back muscles, or anywhere in the body. A primary or central trigger point might be the result of an injury, repetitive stress or even happen due to oddball circumstances, such as having an air conditioning vent blowing on you all day long. If you’ve tried pain killers, muscle relaxants and other common treatments for your pain without success, read on. Neuromuscular massage and trigger point therapy can provide the relief you’re looking for, all without drugs or surgery.

Trigger point pain can take on a surprising number forms. Besides the all-too-common nagging pain in neck and low back muscles, trigger points can cause wide-spread stiffness, tingling or a dull ache that makes the day drag. They might show up as a headache, sciatica, carpel tunnel or tendonitis. Trigger points can also hit you with intense zingers that leaves you breathless.

But while injury, accidents, poor posture, and under- or overuse can cause a trigger point to develop, it doesn’t always stop there. Satellite trigger points often pop up near the primary one, and sometimes secondary trigger points can also appear. A secondary trigger point usually happens as a result of compensating for the original problem. So for example, if you have a sedentary job, primary trigger points can develop in low back muscles from sitting in the same posture for hours on end, and secondary points can spring up in the hip flexors and thighs due to shortening of the muscles from disuse, aka, atrophy. Looking at your phone or computer screen for long periods of time can cause ‘text neck,’ and often results in painful trigger points in neck muscles that can shoot up into the head or down the arms as the muscles in your neck strain to hold up that head that weighs as much as a bowling ball.

The therapists at Massage Revolution’s Back & Neck Relief Center are all certified in neuromuscular massage and trigger point therapy . We’re pros at finding all your trigger points , whether primary, secondary, satellite or any other kind, and you’ll likely feel incredible relief after a single session. Sound too good to be true? It isn’t. Trigger point massage is just plain old good.

If you often feel pain in your neck, back or elsewhere but cannot figure out the cause of the problem, trigger points may be the culprit. Trigger points are tiny, painful spasms in the muscle and they can cause stiffness, tingling and other sensations, not just at the site of the trigger point, but all over the body. Trigger points are not well understood by the medical community, so if you’ve searched in vain for a solution to your back pain, look no further. Neuromuscular massage can free you from trigger point pain.

A primary trigger point is a place where the pain starts, but left untreated other trigger points may develop, including satellite trigger points. A satellite trigger point, as the name implies, happens close to the primary trigger point, usually in the same muscle or in the ones nearby. Satellite trigger points may occur as a result of overuse or inactivity.

For example, if your job involves a lot of sitting in front of a computer, you might develop trigger points in neck muscles from poor posture, leaning forward, or just from staring at the screen for too long. Satellite trigger points can cause a whole series of painful spots throughout the neck, up into your head and even down the arms. Too much sitting can also cause trigger points in low back muscles, sending pain through the back, hips, and down into the legs.

Sometimes a structural problem, such as scoliosis, may cause multiple primary trigger points. This in turn can create multiple satellite trigger points, resulting in pain over an entire section of the body. When this happens, it is what is called diffuse trigger points. Satellite trigger points often resolve once the primary trigger points are released, but sometimes the satellites must also be treated in order to get complete relief.

The therapists at Massage Revolution’s Back and Neck Relief Center are specially trained in trigger point therapy. We know how to find trigger points, whether primary, satellite or diffuse, and release them, often in a single session. Give neuromuscular massage a try and you could be pain-free today.

If you’re like millions of other Americans, you’ve experienced back pain, neck pain, or both. But whether the pain has developed recently or it’s been going on for a long time, you’re not doomed to suffer aches, soreness, and restricted range of motion for the rest of your life. Neuromuscular massage therapy, also known as trigger point massage therapy, can provide relief.

The body is complex. All of the muscles, joints and other tissues are linked together with a special kind of connective tissue called fascia. Injury, overuse, repetitive movements and stress are just some of the things that can cause tension to build up in your muscles, eventually causing trigger points in back, neck, and all muscles.

Neuromuscular massage techniques involve applying varying degree of pressure on trigger points which are located in the back, neck or elsewhere. A neuromuscular trigger point therapist applies pressure using the fingers, knuckles, or elbow. Muscles in spasm hurt, and may be painful to the touch. Neuromuscular trigger point therapy can relieve that sensitivity, restoring your muscles to their normal, pain-free state.

Because trigger points, whether in the neck, back or other locations are often tender, you may experience some discomfort, but it should not cause an overwhelming sensation of pain. The best description is that the neuromuscular massage should ‘hurt so good.’ (For those of you who like trivia, this is also called the ‘Hedonic Level.’) Because of this, it is important that you feel comfortable talking to your therapist about what you are experiencing in order to find the right level of healing pressure.

In the day or two following the neuromuscular massage, any residual soreness should fade, and tight muscles should loosen noticeably over the next several days to weeks. The rate and amount of improvement you feel will also depend on other factors, such as your workload and stress levels.

Trigger point massage therapy is one of the best ways to alleviate or eliminate pain in the neck and back. While many people experience total relief after a single session, others may choose to schedule regular appointments to manage stress and chronic pain, including pain from old injuries. Bring us your aching back. Bring us your sore neck. The massage and bodyworkers at the Back and Neck Relief Center are professionally trained in trigger point massage therapy and neuromuscular massage. You could be pain-free today.
