Trigger Point Therapy for Pain Management
Trigger point therapy is a type of therapy that uses a variety of techniques to apply pressure to tight muscle knots with the goal of releasing tension and pain. This form of therapy can be used for chronic pain, injuries or just to release muscle tension. Trigger point therapy is very effective because it helps break up knots in areas where there are few blood vessels, which causes oxygen deprivation in muscles, ligaments, and tendons. These trigger points are the real source of most people’s aches and pains, so they need to be released as soon as possible before they become permanent. Trigger point therapy also stimulates circulation by increasing local blood flow around the area being treated. There are several different types of this treatment including dry needling, deep tissue massage, myomas, physical therapy, and more.
Assessment of the affected area helps determine what type of trigger point therapy is done. Dry needling is the most popular form which involves the therapist inserting a very fine needle into specific points in muscles to release them. Deep tissue massage is another technique that uses deep strokes and direct pressure to target affected areas and break up knots. Revamp Sports Massage Therapy is here with decades of combined experience to help provide the highest quality care for patients struggling to find relief from the discomfort of tight muscles and irregular trigger point tension.

What is Trigger Point therapy?
Trigger point therapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses pressure and massage to relieve pain. It is said to be effective in treating conditions such as chronic pain, tension headaches, and carpal tunnel syndrome. The goal is to release muscle tension in the affected tissue by applying direct pressure. This in turn releases pain in the affected area. A trigger point is a tight bundle of muscle or fascia fibers that forms when muscles or certain nerves are overused. For example, if an individual feels discomfort in the shoulder from holding a phone up to his ear for extended periods of time, there may be a knot in the shoulder tissue causing this discomfort. This knot may be a trigger point. Other examples of this type of pain are backaches, headaches, and neck discomfort from looking down. They often form when an injury sets off a protective spasm of surrounding muscles. They can also occur with arthritis or injuries.
Trigger Points can be found throughout the body, but they usually occur in areas of high tension and/or frequent use. There is usually a pattern to where the points occur: for example, you may find them predominantly along the inside or outside line of a joint or limb. They often feel like hard knots that form where muscles join bones. They can be tender and often result in pain that radiates along with the muscle’s tendons or into other areas it attaches to. They can cause aching, numbness, tingling, and weakness of muscles and joints, as well as stiffness and loss of mobility. The more you use a particular group of muscles in your body, the more likely it is that trigger points will develop. The first step in treatment is to identify what muscle or group of muscles is causing the discomfort. The therapist then applies direct pressure to the affected area until the tightness begins to release. The therapist may also use other techniques such as myofascial release and stretching to help the muscles relax. Although trigger point therapy won’t permanently remove these points, it can be very effective in temporarily relieving pain and discomfort. Sometimes referred to as myotherapy, this method is used by health care professionals such as chiropractors and massage therapists. The therapist then repeats these steps in different areas that may be causing pain elsewhere. The process may be repeated many times during a single treatment session. In order to keep your body as healthy and pain-free as possible, contact Revamp Sports Massage Therapy and speak with one of our dedicated representatives to schedule your consultation and begin the pain relief treatment you deserve.
How trigger point therapy works
The process starts with an evaluation by our physical therapist or a medical professional of your choosing who determines what muscles are causing the injury or pain and why they’re in pain or inflamed. Our massage therapist will then make notes about how tight and sensitive the primary muscle groups in your body are and will also make notes about other potential problems if there are any.
Afterward, the process will begin by selecting the proper therapeutic modality, based on their experience and how bad your pain is. For example, if you have a minor case of carpal tunnel, they might use heat to help with the pain management. However, if you’ve pulled your hamstring while playing basketball at work, they might use a pressure point to massage the muscle. Trigger points form when the muscle is overused or under extreme stress. This can be seen in daily life when people fail to stretch after working out, lifting improperly, or sitting for too long without moving or stretching. There are also certain factors that increase your risk of developing trigger points- these include obesity, being very sedentary, accidents, performing repetitive tasks at work or home, or even injury. Trigger Point therapy is a great way to manage chronic pain that arises from these types of issues. It’s also an effective treatment for pain in other parts of the body, such as the neck, shoulders, hips, back, and knees.
Treating trigger points is a process that requires time and patience in order to fully see results. You can expect roughly 3-5 sessions to be the minimum for the initial treatment of tough to reach trigger points. However, it should be noted that even after you’ve finished your course of treatment, it’s important to continue the stretches and exercises prescribed by your therapist in order to maintain the benefits you’ve achieved. Individuals who undergo trigger point therapy can expect relief from pain, increased range of motion, and a decrease in muscle spasms. Sessions usually last for one hour, though this may vary depending on the severity of the condition.

Who can benefit from trigger point therapy?
Trigger Point Therapy is a good alternative for those who experience chronic pain or inflammation. This type of therapy can be used to release trigger points that are identified as the source of pain and discomfort. Trigger Point Therapy is also beneficial for those who have been undergoing physical therapy after an injury. It can help provide relief from the pain and stiffness that often accompanies the healing process, and help to increase range of motion after prolonged immobility. It can also be used to treat sports injuries, chronic headaches or migraines, and even depression.
Trigger points are simply hyperirritable spots within the muscle that send pain signals to the brain. These hyperirritable spots are tender when pressed upon by a therapist or physician, and are often diagnosed accurately based on the pain pattern they produce. To treat these trigger points, many therapists use a tennis or lacrosse ball to work into the muscle. While some people may receive this treatment for relaxation purposes, it is often used for the therapeutic healing of muscles and joints with chronic pain. This means that anyone who experiences tightness, stiffness, a decrease in range of motion, or discomfort in their muscles can benefit from trigger point therapy. This type of therapy is thought to work by breaking up the scar tissue that has built up around the trigger point. This tissue build-up can irritate and sensitize the nerve endings in the affected area, and cause them to be more sensitive to the trigger point in that location. It can also limit the range of motion, decrease blood flow to the muscle, and prohibit the proper circulation of the lymphatic fluid. By breaking up this tissue build-up with a simple tennis ball or lacrosse ball treatment, these benefits can be noticed pretty quickly. Some factors that may affect your pain management strategy are age, duration of pain, location of pain, and the existence of any other medical conditions. If you are unsure if Trigger Point Therapy is the right choice for you, consult with a doctor about whether or not this treatment could be right for you.

What is the best treatment for trigger points?
Trigger Point Therapy is a form of massage that relieves different types of pain. The major advantage of this form of treatment is that it addresses the root cause of the pain instead of just masking the symptoms. Trigger Point Therapy uses firm pressure to break down knots in muscles called trigger points. It can be used on all parts of the body, including joints, neck, back, and feet. Trigger Point Therapy is often recommended by doctors and other health professionals as a first-line treatment for pain relief. It is safe, gentle, and non-invasive, which makes it a popular choice for people of all ages. In addition to relieving pain, Trigger Point Therapy can also improve flexibility and range of motion. One aspect of the body’s trigger points can be what is called referred pain. Referred pain occurs when pain in one muscle causes soreness and stiffness in another muscle. For example, a trigger point in the trapezius muscle can cause pain and stiffness in the neck, shoulder, or upper arm. Referred pain can be difficult to diagnose because the source of the pain is not always obvious. Our trained therapists at Revamp Sports Massage Therapy can help identify the source of your pain and treat trigger points that are causing referred pain throughout the body, resulting in a much higher level of relief and relaxation.

Chronic pain is a serious issue that can affect every aspect of a person’s life. Left untreated, chronic pain can lead to depression, anxiety, and even addiction to medications. Fortunately, there are many treatment options available. Trigger point therapy is a type of massage therapy that focuses on specific points in the body that can be used to treat tension and tightness throughout the different muscle groups in the body. By treating these trigger points, the therapist can help to relieve pain, stimulate blood flow to areas of the body, and improve mobility. In addition to relieving pain, trigger point therapy can also help to improve sleep quality, reduce stress levels, and boost energy levels. It can also help speed up the recovery process and support the body’s natural healing methods.
The benefits of trigger point therapy can be numerous and varied depending on the patient. Many people who struggle with chronic pain have found that trigger point therapy has been able to provide significant relief from their symptoms. In addition to decreasing pain, many patients also reported an increase in energy levels as well as a reduction in stress and anxiety due to the release of tension in the body. For those who suffer from chronic pain, trigger point therapy can be an excellent treatment option that can provide significant relief. If you are struggling with chronic pain, talk to your doctor about whether trigger point therapy might be a good option for you.

Is trigger point therapy painful?
Trigger point therapy can be a bit uncomfortable, but it’s not usually painful. The therapist will use a variety of techniques to apply pressure to the knots, and you may feel some discomfort as they work. However, the goal is to release tension and pain, not to cause more discomfort. Trigger point therapy works by releasing tension in the muscles. When a muscle is tight, it can form knots or Trigger Points. These points can cause pain and tension and even cause issues in the surrounding areas as well. Trigger point therapy targets these knots and aims to release tension by using special techniques to work into and break down tight, dense areas. Massage therapists use their hands, fingers, and elbows to apply pressure to the knots. They may also use heat or cold to help relax the muscles. As the trigger points are worked out, blood starts to flow naturally to them again. The tight band that caused the pain can relax and be stretched like any other muscle in your body.
Trigger Point therapy is used for various types of pain including neck pain, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, sciatica, shin splints, knee pain, plantar fasciitis, headaches, and migraines, to name a few. This form of therapy can be used to help those who have been suffering from chronic pain as well as those who want to release muscle tension. People may also use it as a part of their sports recovery plan or even before a race to keep muscles loose and primed for performance.
While trigger point therapy can definitely help those who suffer from pain and other symptoms, it’s important that you do your research about the therapist you choose to see. All therapists are not created equal and not all techniques will work equally for all patients. The last thing anyone wants is to experience more pain as a result of improper training or practice.
