Chronic Headache Due To Muscle Tightness In T Nagar

Chronic headaches may arise from muscle tightness around the neck and shoulder. They are commonly identified as chronic tension-type headaches (CTTH). These headaches are characterized by a persistent, dull, and pressing pain, often described as a tight band encircling the head. They frequently involve muscle spasm and tenderness in the neck, scalp, and shoulders, and can occur on 15 or more days per month for at least three months.

A tension headache could be due to trigger points present in upper trapezius muscle. This headache cannot go until this trigger point is released. This release cannot happen in one sitting, it may require manual therapy, release injections and TENS. Dr.Ayshvarya is one of the best doctor in T.Nagar for treating headache and neck pain related to muscle spasm. She has extensive experience in treating such patients successfully.
Trigger point injections to relieve muscle knots

Trigger Point Injection In T Nagar

Myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) are specific spots in muscles that feel hard and tight, like a band or knot. These trigger points can cause pain directly where they are located and also make you feel pain in other areas of the body that aren’t directly affected. This referred pain happens because the trigger points release chemicals that send pain signals to different parts of the body.

Often chronic MTrPs are difficult to treat and can be inactivated by inserting a needle into the trigger zone or point (Dry needling); done by a Pain Specialist under Ultrasound image guidance. This can be done with injection of local anaesthetic. Properly done, a local twitch response will occur, often with a momentary reproduction of referred pain, and then the taut band will relax and tenderness will diminish or disappear. Absolute Vital Health offers best muscle knots relieving treatment in T nagar.
