Trigger Points in Neck Archives - Massage Revolution

While people often say they have a knot in their muscle, the muscle fibers are not actually twisted and looped together. These knots are often trigger points, or tiny spasms in your muscles. Some people only have a few, while others have dozens. Some may be inactive, but when they become active, the pain can make it hard to think about anything else. Trigger point therapy can help release those knots and relieve your pain.

While active trigger points definitely make themselves known, they can be tricky little gremlins. You may feel pain at the site of the trigger point, or you might feel it elsewhere. The pain can be scattered almost like buckshot, and the path the pain follows can be unexpected and complicated. Trigger points in low back muscles can cause pain in the hips, thighs, or even in your stomach, while trigger points in neck muscles can send pain shooting up into your head, down your arms, or both. Trigger points can mimic other issues, such as headaches, sinus problems, sciatica, and seemingly unrelated ailments like digestive problems.

The pain of active trigger points can feel sharp, but it can also feel hot, cold, tingly, or numb, amongst other things. But don’t be fooled by inactive or latent trigger points. They aren’t necessarily innocent bystanders. While they may not cause intense pain, then can cause the muscles to feel stiff and sore, and their potential to become active is still there, lying in wait like a coiled snake, ready to strike at any time.

Neuromuscular massage was developed to designed to relieve trigger point pain, whether active or latent, and it often works in a single session. The therapists at Massage Revolution’s Back and Neck Relief Center are all specially trained in trigger point therapy. We’re definitely not fans of knots and we want to help free you from your trigger point pain, whether it be in the low back, neck, or elsewhere.

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.
