Myofascial trigger points are an extremely common source of pain in the neck, lower back, or extremities. They are composed of hyper-irritable areas of skeletal muscle, which can cause referred pain in virtually any area of the body. They can occur after injury, due to faulty posture, or often for no apparent reason. People who have this condition are regularly misdiagnosed with other pain problems. Sadly, these people often have had to endure surgeries that were unsuccessful due to the fact that the true muscle problem was not realized. Though the ill effects of Myofascial trigger points can cause many years of suffering, they are frequently overlooked as a cause of pain problems.

Dr. Magaziner has had many years of experience in dealing with Myofascial Trigger Points, stemming from his studies under Dr. Janet Travell, a pioneer in the research and treatment of this disorder.
A treatment regimen for a patient who suffers from Myofascial Trigger Points would include a postural evaluation and correction, special stretching exercises, soft tissue mobilization and reconstruction, physical therapy, and occasional injections or acupuncture stimulation of the trigger points to relax and deactivate their negative effects. All in all, the treatment involves a very minimal amount of discomfort and can be highly effective.
