Hands-On Care for Muscle Tension, Pain & Better Movement
Tight, sensitive areas within muscles can contribute to pain, stiffness, and limited movement. These areas are commonly referred to as trigger points.
At Trinity Wellness Center, trigger point therapy is a hands-on treatment that can be incorporated into your overall chiropractic care plan. By addressing areas of muscle tension alongside the health and movement of the spine and joints, we can take a more comprehensive approach to helping you move and feel your best.
Our Doctors of Chiropractic and Licensed Massage Therapists work together to evaluate your individual needs and determine which combination of treatments may be most appropriate for you.
What Are Trigger Points?
Trigger points are localized areas of tenderness and increased muscle tension. They can develop for a variety of reasons, including physical stress, repetitive activity, injury, prolonged postures, and changes in activity or exercise.
Depending on where they occur, trigger points may contribute to:
Muscle soreness or tenderness
Tightness and stiffness
Muscle cramps or spasms
Aching or discomfort
Sharp or shooting sensations
Reduced range of motion
Pain or discomfort that extends beyond the immediate area
Because trigger points can sometimes be located deep within muscle tissue, identifying the areas contributing to your symptoms begins with a thorough evaluation.
How Trigger Point Therapy Works With Chiropractic Care
Your spine, joints, muscles, and movement patterns all work together. When muscles become tight or irritated, they may affect the way you move and function. Likewise, changes in movement or joint function may contribute to increased muscle tension.
That’s why our approach may combine chiropractic care with targeted trigger point therapy when appropriate.
Chiropractic care focuses on evaluating and improving spinal and joint function, while trigger point therapy focuses on areas of muscle tension and tenderness. Addressing both can provide a more comprehensive approach to improving movement and comfort.
Your provider will evaluate your condition and determine which therapies may be most beneficial for your individual needs.
