Pittsburgh Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger Point

Where does pain come from? Many people suffering with chronic pain ask this question.
    
 Trigger point therapy focuses on the sensitive spots in muscle, called trigger points. Over-stimulated trigger points result in muscular pain and tension which may cause inflammation and alter one’s health.
    
Karen will look for knots in muscles that are indicators of trigger points. Careful application of isolated pressure and release techniques will be used on the trigger points. This manipulation of the trigger points can be very effective at relieving the pressure that causes pain.
