TRIGGER POINT THERAPY

An Ancient Science

Trigger points are specific, hyper-irritable and hypersensitive areas in muscle that suffer from decreased circulation, increased contraction and spasm. Lack of circulation creates a high anomaly of toxins and increased nerve sensitivity that can range from low ache to sharp pain. Now just because the trigger point causes the pain does not mean that the spot is painful itself. When the pain causing spot is painful, it is called a primary trigger point. However, pain can also manifest itself in areas away from the active trigger point - such pain is called referred pain.
