Trigger Point Therapy
Pinnacle Integrated Health
Understanding Trigger Points
When most people mention having a “knot” in their neck or back, they are typically referring to trigger points. These trigger points, or muscle knots, can cause pain in the direct area, referred pain, muscle weakness, restricted movement, and reduced flexibility of the spine and other extremities. Trigger points are pressure points that develop within the muscle, characterized by bands of muscle fibers that become tight and tender, causing generalized musculoskeletal pain when overstimulated.
Patient Testimonials
Many of our patients have experienced remarkable improvements in their quality of life following trigger point therapy. Here are some of their stories:
“I had constant shoulder pain that affected my work and sleep. After just a few sessions of trigger point therapy, I felt a significant reduction in pain and increased mobility.”
“The trigger point injections were a game-changer for my chronic back pain. The team at Pinnacle Integrated Health was professional and caring, making the whole process easy and effective.”
Symptoms and Effects
Myofascial trigger points can lead to several problems, including headaches, joint pain, and back pain. They most commonly affect major joints such as the knees, shoulders, and wrists. Additional symptoms include nausea, numbness, tingling in the feet and hands, dizziness, heartburn, and even genital pain. These symptoms can significantly impact daily activities and overall quality of life, necessitating effective treatment options.
How We Can Help
At Pinnacle Integrated Health, our expert team specializes in addressing this condition through trigger point injection therapy. These injections are administered by a qualified medical practitioner, providing relief from pain and discomfort swiftly and effectively. The treatment process is quick, typically taking only a few minutes, and aims to relax the tight muscle bands and alleviate the associated symptoms.
The Treatment Process
Trigger point injection therapy involves inserting a small needle into the trigger point, delivering medication that helps to relax the muscle and reduce pain. This procedure can be part of a broader treatment plan, which may include physical therapy, stretching exercises, and other modalities to enhance recovery and prevent recurrence.
Benefits of Trigger Point Therapy
The primary benefit of trigger point therapy is the immediate reduction in pain and muscle tension. Patients often experience significant improvement in their range of motion and overall function. By addressing the root cause of the muscle knot, this therapy not only provides relief but also helps prevent future episodes of pain and discomfort.
