At Minnesota ChiroWorks, we're dedicated to helping everyone in the Fridley area who comes to us for chiropractic care. One of the ways we do that is through trigger point therapy. This can be used to reduce pain, release and relax tense muscles, and improve your range of motion. No matter whether you've been in an accident, experienced an injury, or have a medical condition like arthritis, being able to move freely and with less pain is important.

What is Trigger Point Therapy?

Trigger point therapy is a technique that specifically focuses on trigger points, which are areas of tissue where knots can form and cause tension, pain, and discomfort. By releasing and relaxing these points, a chiropractor can realign areas that have been pulled out of alignment from the tightness of the surrounding muscles and tissues. Trigger point therapy is an excellent way to loosen tightness that's deep in the tissue and not helped by massage or other practices.

How Does This Technique Help?

When you have less muscle tension and the supporting structures such as ligaments and tendons aren't being pulled tight throughout the normal course of the day, you can experience more comfort and move more easily. Muscle tension can create a lot of pressure on the bones and joints in the area they surround, and that can mean pain in your back, neck, shoulder, hip, knee, or other areas. The goal of this technique is to find the trigger point that's causing the issue and release it.

Will I Be Able to Move Better?

After trigger point therapy, you should find that you can move better. It may take multiple treatments to really restore a full range of motion, but you should see improvement after each treatment. Finding and releasing trigger points can increase relaxation of muscles and other structures, which will give you a better opportunity to move further and without pain.
