What is Trigger Point Therapy?

Trigger points are tight areas in muscles that cause pain and are very sensitive to touch. Sometimes, the trigger points can affect mobility. They develop after muscles have suffered acute or chronic injuries. When you get trigger point therapy, your chiropractor, Dr. Stern, will examine your body to find where your muscle knots are located.

Once he has located them, he may use his hands or steel tools to apply sustained pressure to those areas. As he applies pressure, these tense muscles will relax and circulation to the area will increase. As circulation improves, the muscles will feel better and heal faster. Once he has eased his trigger points, he will guide you in various stretching techniques to keep the muscles limber and flexible. He may recommend ongoing massage therapy, which our office provides, to ensure your body doesn't tense up again.

Understanding Trigger Point Therapy in Mt Kisco NY

This particular kind of therapy is designed to work on the nodule directly. There is specific, controlled pressure that is applied to the trigger point. After a few seconds of pressure, it is released. During this type of massage the patient participates and communicates by identified areas of discomfort as well as having controlled, deep breathing.

By relieving the trigger points in a muscle, it is allowing the muscle knot to loosen. Patients often experience immediately relief following one treatment. Regularly scheduled trigger point therapy can give you the benefits of pain management from stress, injury, etc.
