Trigger Point Therapy in Our Office

Trigger point therapy focuses on relieving tight, sensitive areas in muscles known as trigger points. These areas are often called “muscle knots” and can cause pain, stiffness, and discomfort — sometimes even in other parts of the body.

By releasing these tight muscle areas, trigger point therapy helps reduce pain, improve movement, and restore normal muscle function.

What Are Trigger Points?

Trigger points are small, tight bands of muscle that form when muscle fibers remain contracted and do not relax properly.

They can develop from:

✔ Muscle overuse or strain
✔ Injury or trauma
✔ Poor posture
✔ Stress or tension
✔ Repetitive movement
✔ Joint dysfunction

Trigger points can cause local pain or referred pain, meaning discomfort is felt in a different area than where the knot is located.

How Trigger Point Therapy Works

Targeted pressure is applied to specific muscle knots to help release tension and restore normal muscle function.

This helps:

✔ Relax tight muscles
✔ Reduce pain and tenderness
✔ Improve blood flow
✔ Restore normal muscle movement
✔ Reduce referred pain patterns
✔ Improve flexibility and range of motion

Pressure is adjusted to your comfort level for safe and effective treatment.

What Conditions Trigger Point Therapy Helps

Trigger point therapy is commonly used to treat:

• Muscle knots and tension
• Neck and shoulder pain
• Back pain and tightness
• Headaches caused by muscle tension
• Sports or overuse injuries
• Postural muscle strain
• Limited mobility or stiffness
• Chronic muscle pain

It is often combined with chiropractic care and rehabilitation therapies for better results.

Benefits of Trigger Point Therapy

Patients often experience:

✔ Reduced muscle pain and tightness
✔ Improved range of motion
✔ Decreased tension and stiffness
✔ Better circulation
✔ Relief from tension headaches
✔ Improved comfort with movement
✔ Faster muscle recovery

Healthy muscles support better posture, movement, and overall function.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your session is focused and personalized.

• Areas of muscle tension are evaluated
• Targeted pressure is applied to trigger points
• Muscle release techniques are performed
• Pressure is adjusted to comfort level
• You may receive stretching or home care instructions

Some areas may feel tender briefly, but muscles typically feel more relaxed afterward.

Our Goal

Trigger point therapy helps release muscle tension, reduce pain, and restore normal movement so your body can function comfortably and efficiently.

We focus on improving muscle health to support long-term relief and mobility.
