At Adjust New York, we offer Trigger Point Therapy to effectively address muscle tension, pain, and discomfort. This specialized technique targets tight knots, or “trigger points,” within the muscles that can cause local pain and even radiate to other areas of the body. Whether you’re suffering from chronic pain, muscle spasms, or discomfort due to injury, our Trigger Point Therapy can provide lasting relief.
What is Trigger Point Therapy?
Trigger Point Therapy is a manual therapy technique designed to identify and release tight areas of muscle tissue known as trigger points. These are hyper-irritable spots within the muscle fibers that can cause pain and discomfort. Trigger points can develop as a result of overuse, poor posture, stress, injury, or repetitive movements.
The therapy involves applying direct pressure to these knots to release the tension and reduce pain. This helps restore the muscle’s normal function, improves blood flow, and can also reduce the risk of further injury.
Common Conditions Treated with Trigger Point Therapy:
Trigger points can develop in almost any muscle group and are commonly associated with the following conditions:
Muscle Spasms: Trigger points often cause muscle spasms, making it difficult to relax the muscles and restore normal movement.
Neck and Shoulder Pain: Trigger points in the neck and shoulders are common and can cause tension, stiffness, and even headaches.
Back Pain: Muscle knots in the back, particularly in the lower back, can result from poor posture, repetitive motion, or improper lifting.
Headaches and Migraines: Trigger points in the neck, shoulders, and upper back can contribute to tension headaches and migraines.
Sciatica: Trigger points along the lower back and buttocks can irritate the sciatic nerve, leading to radiating pain down the legs.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Repetitive hand and wrist movements can lead to trigger points in the forearm, exacerbating symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders: Tightness in the jaw muscles can lead to TMJ dysfunction, which can cause pain and difficulty chewing.
Benefits of Trigger Point Therapy at Adjust New York:
Prevention of Future Injury: By addressing muscle imbalances and relieving tightness, Trigger Point Therapy can help prevent the recurrence of injury or strain in the future.
Pain Relief: Trigger Point Therapy provides fast relief from localized muscle pain and discomfort by releasing tight knots that contribute to pain.
Improved Range of Motion: By addressing tight muscles, this therapy can restore flexibility and movement in affected areas, reducing stiffness.
Increased Circulation: The application of pressure helps increase blood flow to the muscles, promoting healing and the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to damaged tissues.
Reduced Muscle Tension: Trigger points can cause persistent tension in muscles. By treating these points, we help to reduce overall muscle tightness, improving overall body comfort.
