Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic pain disorder. It is characterised by pressure on trigger points (the sensitive points in your muscles) that cause referred pain in other parts of the body.

Cause:

Myofascial pain syndrome usually occurs after a muscle has been contracted through repetitive motions. Muscle pain is common, but you are at an increased risk for myofascial pain syndrome if you have a lot of stress & anxiety or if you experience a muscle injury. These things can make you more likely to develop trigger points.

Symptoms:

Persistent or worsening pain.

Deep & aching muscle pain.

Tender knot located at the muscle.

Treatments:

Physical therapy

Pain medications

Stretching

Massage

Heat therapy

Trigger point injections
