No referral required.

Don't be too upset with your doctor; most just aren't familiar with this science/therapy (other than shooting drugs into trigger points), even though it's been around since the '60s. JFK had chronic myofascial pain, and it was his personal physician, Janet G. Travell, who did much of the groundwork.

myofascial trigger point therapy

I don't know what's causing your pain, but your description sounded familiar, so this was just my suggestion. I sincerely hope it works out for you as well as it has for us (wife has trigger point issues as well).

Doc
