Myofascial Pain Treatment In Mylapore

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is characterized by the presence of clinically detected myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). These trigger points develop over chronic misuse of the muscles. 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.

Muscle Knots In Neck Treatment In Mylapore

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.

Trigger Point Injection In Mylapore

Muscle knots in the neck, also known as myofascial trigger points, are tight, contracted areas of muscle that can cause localized pain and referred pain (often as headaches or shoulder pain). When conservative treatments fail, trigger point injections (TPIs) are an effective medical option.

Prolotherapy is an alternative injection therapy used to treat chronic musculoskeletal pain, including muscle knots (myofascial trigger points). Prolotherapy in this area is used when there is:

  • Chronic mid-back pain
  • Suspected dorsal scapular nerve entrapment

  • Overuse syndromes or postural strain in athletes, weightlifters, or manual workers
