What Is Trigger Point Therapy?

In order to better understand why this kind of therapy works, we first have to find out what trigger points are in the first place.

The term "trigger point" may be new to you, but you’ve likely detected the presence of one before. Trigger points are also known as muscle knots. If you’ve felt like there was or is a spot on your body that radiates a permeating kind of pain, that’s a trigger point.

Examples of areas on your body where trigger points may emerge include your back, neck, and shoulders. Trigger points may take the form of joint pain, tension headaches, and tinnitus.

Trigger points may emerge for a variety of reasons. They may accompany certain musculoskeletal disorders you develop over time, or they may pop up as a result of damage that’s accumulated in your muscle fibers. As you’ve probably guessed, trigger points are fairly common.

You need a comprehensive strategy when dealing with trigger points and your chiropractic care provider can help implement that strategy.

How Chiropractic Care Helps with Managing Your Trigger Points

Trigger point therapy is among the most effective ways of dealing with that chronic musculoskeletal pain permeating your body. The most common kind of trigger point therapy involves massage. Your chiropractor will locate your trigger points and then use different massage techniques to provide pain relief.

In addition to massage, trigger point therapy may also involve the use of acupuncture needles. The needles are used to hit the trigger points precisely and essentially defuse them. If this kind of therapy is performed correctly, it offers some welcome benefits.

Trigger point therapy can present you with the kind of pain relief you’ve long been hoping for. Make sure that it is performed correctly by working with us at the Advanced Chiropractic Group. If you’re a Santa Barbara resident, get in touch with us today so that we can arrange your appointment.
