What Can Trigger Point Therapy Treat?
A trigger point is a sore point in a muscle; it can be highly uncomfortable and painful when you push or press. That painful spot is also known as a knot. They are extremely sensitive and cause pain in different body parts, such as the neck, shoulders, back, and skeletal muscle. This is where trigger point therapy comes in. Trigger point therapy is an alternative medicine focused on detecting and releasing trigger points. It can also be called myofascial trigger point therapy or neuromuscular therapy.
Trigger point has been around since the 1940s when Dr. Janet Travell first coined the words trigger points. She treated President Kennedy's back pain. Since then, it became popular, and many specialists have adopted and studied the theory. Trigger point has successfully treated the pain associated with various ailments, such as:

Before you have a Spinal Fusion put on the Brakes and see Dr. Yang. and his DRX900 Spine Stretching Machine they have. I'm telling you it's Magic. Make an Appointment, get an X-ray, I came back 2 days later so he study my spine and we started the process. I've had 7 spine surgeries and if I had known about this place I never would have had one. Fusions are a 3-10 success rate. I am proof of failed spinal operations. It's worth the Try before you get to that desperate cut your spine open level.

I had seen other chiropractors, and didn't think this place would be any different. It was about 2 months of treatment and I was able to move my body like I was 21, I'm 50. I was shocked at how much better my felt. The staff know me by name. It's always hello Ms Jenny! Love this place!

How Trigger Point Therapy Works
We We begin with a thorough examination to identify the source of the problem. Your medical history and current symptoms help provide a complete picture of your overall health, lifestyle, and pain patterns. During the physical exam, areas containing trigger points often feel firmer or tighter than surrounding muscle tissue.
We may then perform a series of functional tests, such as assessing range of motion, arm movement, posture, or flexibility. In some cases, neurological testing is recommended to evaluate reflexes and determine whether nerve involvement is contributing to your pain.
Based on these findings, a personalized treatment plan is recommended. Patients are typically advised to stay well hydrated and wear loose, comfortable clothing for treatment. Depending on the muscle group involved, you may sit or lie down during the session.
Trigger points can be classified as active or latent (passive). Active trigger points cause pain in other areas of the body, known as referred pain. For example, pressing a trigger point in the shoulder may produce pain in the shoulder as well as symptoms in the chest. Latent trigger points, on the other hand, cause pain only at the point of pressure. The goal of care is not just to eliminate trigger points, but to effectively manage and reduce painful trigger point activity to improve overall muscle function and comfort.
