Trigger Point Therapy for Sports Injuries

Trigger point therapy is a new form of treatment for back pain. The idea is that some muscles are particularly sensitive to tension and strain and can cause painful flare-ups. Trigger point therapy is designed to decrease the sensitivity of these muscles and decrease the severity and frequency of symptoms.

Trigger point therapy has been utilized by a variety of professionals, both in and outside of the medical profession. In our original article, we looked at trigger points and their connection to a variety of ailments such as herniated discs osteoarthritis and disc degeneration as well as spondylosis.

Trigger point therapy involves the application of pressure to specific areas of the body. A chiropractor might use trigger point manipulation to focus on particular areas of the lower limbs, as well as other disc-related areas. A professional physiotherapist could also use trigger point manipulations. We will discuss trigger point manipulation by professional therapists in the context of this discussion. While trigger point manipulation by physical therapists or chiropractors is a valid option however, some practitioners in UK and other countries have suggested that physiotherapy is more effective in treating some, if certainly not all painful complaints.

Trigger point injections have been proven to be effective in relieving pain and improving mobility in patients suffering from conditions such as osteoarthritis, herniated disks and spondylosis. Expert clinical trials of these injections have demonstrated that a substantial proportion of patients experience little to no pain relief following one injection. These reports are an analysis of three trials that were conducted in the United USA, Canada, and the United Kingdom between 1993-1999. One of the trials targeted osteoarthritis, whereas the others were placebo-controlled trials looking at the effects of trps on muscle spasms of patients suffering from diabetic nerve disease.

Trigger point injections can be administered by either a professional, such as a chiropractic physician or by the use of an automated device, such as a TENS machine (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation). The injections are used to reduce inflammation and release pain-relieving neurochemicals and endorphins. However, a common concern is how triggers get to the location of inflammation. Triggers are distributed throughout the body, and are activated through localized heat, cold electrical stimulation, manual stimulation. This means that trps are able to extend anywhere along the length of a muscular limb or joint, although they are most efficient in the in the axial direction. The most frequently used trigger points are in the superior cervical spine and cervical spine just above and behind the neck.

To perform trigger point injections professional must reach the site of inflammation using a specialized device called punch pumps. A slow continuous stream of compressed air is pumped through the muscles which causes them to contract, relax and then elongate. This is done while simultaneously increasing blood flow and triggers the release of hormones and neurotransmitters such as epinephrine and nor epinephrine, in addition to several chemicals that help facilitate communication between the nervous system and the muscles of the skeletal. Injections of these sites have been shown to drastically reduce pain, shorten hospital stays, improve functioning and improve the quality of life for those with chronic diseases.

Trigger point injections are not used to treat acute pain since the precise site of inflammation may not be easily accessible to a qualified doctor. Instead, Trigger point injections are commonly used to treat chronic pain caused by stiffness or inactivity, such as those seen in chronic arthritis and related conditions, tennis elbow swimmer's shoulder, bursitis, tendinitis, as well as other muscles and joints in the body. Trigger point injections can be used to treat issues such as Achilles tendinitis and bursitis (pain in joints) tennis elbow and other injuries to the upper body. Trigger point injections are also effective in treating sprains, keloid tears, Achilles tendinitis bursitis tendinitis, Achilles tendinitis tendinitis, tendinitis and a variety of other sports injuries.

Trigger point injections can be administered by a healthcare professional, or at home under the supervision of a medical professional. While home treatments are feasible however, many healthcare professionals do not recommend self-administration of Triggers. Triggers can be very effective, but medical professionals prefer to use them in conjunction with physical therapy or as part of a comprehensive pain management plan. Physical therapy may include, but isn't restricted to, massages, stretching or stretching, along with other forms of physical activity to help the body heal itself. Trigger point injections are administered in combination with other techniques for pain management to give a more complete treatment of pain and its consequences.
