Trigger Point Therapy:
Are you one of these people?
They are everywhere on every job. The thing that all these people have in common, other than chronic pain, is that they aren’t getting the help they need. Its not that they haven't looked. They’ve done the rounds.
They have tried chiropractic, acupuncture, magnets, pain therapy and medicine and dutifully do stretching exercises.
Sometimes they feel better for a while, but the pain always comes back. Nothing really seems to get to the bottom of the problem. They are often told that surgery is the only solution, but they are also told there is no guarantee of success. They wonder does anyone really know about pain.
There is growing evidence that most of our common aches and pains and many other puzzling physical complaints are actually caused by trigger points or small contraction knots in the muscle of the body..
Trigger points are known to cause headaches, neck and jaw pain, lower back pain, shoulder and back pain, the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, and many kinds of joint pain mistakenly ascribed to arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, or ligament injury.
Trigger point congestion causes problems as diverse as earaches, dizziness, nausea, heartburn, false heart pain, heart arhythmia, tennis elbow, and genital pain. Trigger points can also cause colic in babies and bed wetting in older children and may be the contributing cause of scoliosis. They are also the cause of sinus pain and congestion, they play a part in chronic fatigue and lowered resistance to infection, and because trigger points can be responsible for long term pain and disability that seem to have no means of relief, they can cause depression.
If you can relate to these symptoms then perhaps this is the therapy for you
