Trigger Point Therapy

Release Muscle Tension and Relieve Pain

At Mindful Living Chiropractic and Acupuncture, we offer Trigger Point Therapy to address chronic muscle tension and pain. Trigger points are tight knots or bands within muscle tissue that can cause discomfort or refer pain to other areas of the body. These points often develop due to stress, overuse, or injury, leading to chronic pain and restricted movement.

Our team works to locate and release trigger points, helping your muscles relax, reducing pain, and restoring function.

What is Trigger Point Therapy?

Trigger Point Therapy targets specific points of muscle tension that form when muscle fibers become overactive. These trigger points can:
- Cause local and referred pain.
- Limit range of motion.
- Lead to muscle weakness and fatigue.
- Contribute to headaches, neck pain, and back pain.

The therapy focuses on applying targeted pressure to these points, helping them release and allowing the muscle to relax.

Who Can Benefit from Trigger Point Therapy?

This therapy is highly effective for individuals experiencing:
- Chronic pain (e.g., back pain, neck pain, shoulder tension).
- Tension headaches and migraines.
- TMJ dysfunction (jaw pain).
- Injuries or overuse from physical activities.
- Postural issues leading to muscle strain.
- Limited mobility due to tight muscles.

Whether you are recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or looking to improve muscle function, Trigger Point Therapy offers relief and support for better movement.

What to Expect During a Trigger Point Therapy Session

During your session at Mindful Living Chiropractic and Acupuncture, our team will:

1. Identify trigger points contributing to your pain or tension.
2. Apply direct pressure to the trigger points using thumbs, fingers, or elbows.
3. Hold the pressure for 10-30 seconds, encouraging the muscle fibers to release.
4. Combine techniques such as stretching or heat therapy to enhance results.

The pressure may feel intense initially, but it should provide a sense of relief as the tension dissipates. Our team will ensure the experience is effective while keeping you comfortable throughout the session.
