Myofascial Pain Syndrome Treatment

Myofascial Pain Syndrome is a chronic pain condition that affects the fascia (the thin, tough, connective tissue that surrounds and supports every muscle, bone, and organ in your body) and the muscles.

Think of your fascia as a full-body web or a snug, supportive stocking around your muscles. When this system is strained, it can develop specific, highly sensitive spots.

The hallmark of MPS is the presence of myofascial trigger points. These are essentially 'knots' or tight, irritable bands that form in a muscle.

The pain you feel is often not where the actual problem (the trigger point) is located. This is called referred pain. For example, a trigger point in your shoulder muscle might send a steady, deep ache into your head, causing a tension headache. Or a knot in your upper back could refer pain down your arm, making you think the issue is in your elbow or wrist.

This field offers a treatment for said condition. Use it everyday 2 to 3 times until you see improvements.
