At Montgomery Family Chiropractic in Germantown, MD, we are dedicated to helping our patients achieve lasting relief from pain and muscle tension. One of the highly effective techniques we use is Trigger Point Therapy, a targeted approach to relieving muscle knots and improving overall function.
What Is Trigger Point Therapy?
Trigger Point Therapy focuses on releasing tight areas within muscle tissue, known as trigger points. These “knots” form when muscle fibers become overworked or stressed, leading to pain, stiffness, and restricted movement. Trigger points can cause localized pain or refer discomfort to other parts of the body.
How Does Trigger Point Therapy Work?
Trigger Point Therapy involves applying targeted pressure to the affected areas to release tension and improve blood flow. Our chiropractors use manual techniques, stretching, and other therapies to address trigger points effectively.
By releasing these knots, we can:
-
Relieve muscle tension and spasms.
-
Reduce referred pain in other areas of the body.
-
Restore normal muscle function.
