Trigger Point Therapy Midlothian, VA

Trigger Point Therapy

Are you living with stiff or tight muscles? If so, you have what is called myofascial pain caused by muscular irritation. Trigger point therapy is a type of physical therapy treatment in the form of massage that helps alleviate pain by relieving tension within the affected muscles. Our Midlothian, VA  physical therapists are highly trained in the method of trigger point therapy, with extensive understanding on what specific pressure points to focus on, in order to bring your fascia back to its elastic form. 

If your stiff or tight muscles are limiting your daily life, don’t hesitate to contact Virginia Center for Spine & Sports Therapy today to request an appointment. One of our Midlothian, VA  physical therapists would be happy to meet with you and discuss how trigger point therapy can benefit you!

Common conditions treated by trigger point therapy:

When muscles become constricted or tight, it can significantly impact your mobility. This can cause pain and limitations with movement. Fortunately, myofascial release works to reverse this by loosening up the constricted muscles, thus allowing for easier, pain-free movement.

There are several conditions that can be treated with myofascial release. Some of the most common include:

  • Myofascial pain syndrome: This is the most commonly treated condition through myofascial release, and it can affect many of your muscles. The “trigger points” for your myofascial pain are determined and then massaged out.
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome: Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome can benefit from trigger point release by having the muscles in their hands, wrists, and/or arms massaged, in order to improve function and mobility.
  • Temporomandibular joint disorder: The muscles around the jaw are massaged through myofascial release in many patients with temporomandibular joint disorder. This decreases pain and inflammation, as well as increases mobility of the jaw.
  • Fibromyalgia: This condition can also cause stiffness in multiple muscles. The affected areas will be determined and then massaged.
  • Chronic headaches/migraines: Trigger point therapy has also been known to relieve the pain of chronic headaches and migraines by massaging the tightened muscles around the head and neck.
  • Venous insufficiency: Trigger point therapy can help reduce the amount of blood pooled in the veins and allow for more efficient blood flow, decreasing the pain felt in the veins.
  • Injury: Injuries can also cause muscle stiffness. The affected area will be massaged to loosen up the muscles and allow for a quicker healing process.

Find relief with Virginia Center for Spine & Sports Therapy:

If you have been diagnosed with one of the conditions listed above, or another condition that you think could benefit from myofascial release, contact our Midlothian, VA  physical therapy office today.

At Virginia Center for Spine & Sports Therapy, we are dedicated to providing the best quality treatment for your individual needs.

    Direct Access is the ability of patients to directly seek Physical Therapy care without needing a prescription from a physician for a duration of up to 30 days. This can save patients time and money and give them the option of where to begin their journey towards healing. Our physical therapists have all earned doctoral degrees, which includes training in differential diagnoses and identification of “red flag” signs. Most insurance carriers do not require a physician prescription for reimbursement. In fact, Direct Access potentially saves money to both patients and insurers. Contact us and we gladly answer any questions you may have, as well as check your insurance carrier’s requirements and your financial responsibility.
