Understanding Trigger Points - Their Effects on Your Health
They can occur directly from muscle injuries, poor posture, or repetitive strain. Enough of them can cause pinched nerves, numbness, tingling, Raynaud’s syndrome, RLS, CTS, TOS, sciatica, bursitis, and even herniated discs. Generally, you do not need your vertebrae fused you need to release the trigger points causing the herniated disc(s). Additionally, Carpal Tunnel, TOS surgery sometimes can be avoided entirely with trigger point therapy.



[Trigger Point Therapy is not just the treatment of trigger points that develop in skeletal muscles.

Examining the factors that cause the condition (precipitating factors such as excessive stress) as well as the factors that keep pain and dysfunction ongoing (perpetuating factors such as depression or anxiety) must also be considered.

TP's are usually the result of a repetitive motion, strain, trauma, or poor posture. Dietary, emotional stress, and environmental stress can also create them in localized areas. Many physiologists dispute exactly what they are and what causes them. As a result, there is no universal explanation.

Most people are not even aware that they have a problem with them. That's mainly because they've never heard of them and don't know what they are. Their devastating effects on your health and your body can be far reaching. They can affect the way you stand, the way you walk, the way you move in general, and possibly even the way you breathe. ]
