Book excerpt: Understanding Trigger Points and Exploring Relief Methods Overview: Trigger points, also known as muscle "knots," are tender areas in soft tissue that can cause profound discomfort. Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) represents a chronic pain condition characterized by an abundance of trigger points. Despite being often described as micro-cramps, the scientific understanding of trigger points is not fully developed, and their nature remains a subject of debate. Nevertheless, these sore spots are prevalent, comparable to pimples in commonality, and tend to proliferate around injuries, potentially playing a significant role in back and neck pain. Exploring Causes of Aches and Pains: Various factors contribute to unexplained aches and pains, making trigger points an intriguing aspect for many individuals seeking relief. The relationship between trigger points and discomfort in the back and neck is complex, involving causation, complications, or a combination of both. Trigger Point Therapy: The primary approach to trigger point therapy involves the application of pressure and friction to these sensitive areas, offering a remarkable sense of relief. Dry needling, a method involving acupuncture needles to puncture trigger points, is a popular albeit contentious technique. Trigger point treatment, while not an exact science, provides an opportunity for individuals to learn self-relief methods that are both safe and cost-effective. Comprehensive Resource: This extensive book serves as a valuable resource for both patients and professionals. It presents a straightforward guide encompassing the existing science, myths, controversies, and practical insights on how to independently release and treat trigger points. The content is accessible, making it a useful reference for those navigating the complexities of trigger points and seeking effective relief strategies.

This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most muscular aches and pains are caused or affected by untreated “trigger points,” localized tender spots in muscles. Understanding and treating these points can lead to rapid and lasting pain relief. Trigger point therapy is a powerful tool in the management of both acute and chronic pain, including such common problems as headaches, TMJ syndrome, and back pain. The Concise Book of Trigger Points has set the gold standard for providing a clear understanding of the treatment of trigger points. Designed for the student and practitioner of massage/bodywork, physical therapy, physiotherapy, osteopathy, sports therapy, and any other health-related field, it functions both as an entry-level textbook and an authoritative reference for even the most experienced therapist. This updated third edition includes new self-help and practitioner treatment guidelines for each muscle discussed, covering cutting-edge trigger point theory and practice. The opening chapters describe the basics of trigger points and include detailed therapeutic protocols. Chapters seven through twelve are organized by muscle groups, with detailed color illustrations of each major skeletal muscle. In addition, respected osteopath Simeon Niel-Asher discusses the physiological implications of the trigger points in each muscle—and techniques for treatment—and addresses the most common pain complaints, including headache, neck pain, shoulder pain, lower back pain, and TMJ syndrome. This is a must-have manual for students, professional hands-on therapists, and those who wish to gain a greater knowledge of trigger point therapy. “This book wonderfully describes the syndromes of myofascial pain that affect the skeletal muscles. The text is clear, with detailed information about the presentation of syndromes in each body region, and the illustrations show the referred pain patterns clearly. Individuals suffering from myofascial pain will find it useful in understanding and managing their symptoms.” --Dr. Bob Gerwin, MD, FAAN Medical Director and President, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland “Simeon Niel-Asher has improved on an already wonderfully descriptive book on myofacial pain, trigger points, and syndromes. The text is clear, the diagrams excellent and the overall result is an excellent resource.” --Dr. Simon Vulfsons, MD, Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Pain Management Director, the Institute for Pain Medicine, Rambam Health Care Campus, Haifa, Israel “This book is a must-have for manual therapists serious about their craft, as well as for serious self-treaters who want to take their level of understanding and treatment independence to a higher level. The book is extremely well organized, well written, and concise. The illustrations are beautiful and accurate.” --Jonathan Reynolds, Director, TOLA systems.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION: Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common health problem that is often marked by myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). A MTrP is a hyperirritable spot in the muscle or fascia that is painful upon compression and can give rise to characteristic referred pain. The etiology of MTrPs is unclear, with evidence suggesting the cause may be related to muscular dysfunction or a radicular phenomena. Peripheral dry needing (PND) is a commonly utilized treatment thought to affect MTrPs via a local neuromuscular change. Segmental DN (SDN) involves DN of the paraspinals associated with the segmental nerve root innervating the muscle. SDN is thought to affect MTrPs by alleviating nerve root compression. The purpose of this study was to differentiate between the effects of SDN of the C4-6 paraspinals, PDN of infraspinatus and deltoid MTrPs, and sham treatment in otherwise healthy individuals with deltoid and infraspinatus MTrPs. METHODS: Nine healthy participants were enrolled in this double-blind, randomized control trial. Participants were randomly assigned to PDN, SDN and sham needling groups. Tenderness, pain, and force production between treatment groups was assessed pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention, and 7 days after DN intervention. Tenderness was assessed using a pressure algometer to determine the pain pressure threshold (PPT), pain was assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), and force production was assessed using hand-held dynamometry (HHD). Non parametric Friedman Test was used to analyze change in tenderness, pain, and force production over time. RESULTS: Each group had 3 participants. No significant between group differences on baseline outcome measures were found. 89% (8/9) participants believed they received true dry needling intervention. No significant differences were found for PPT, NPRS, or HHD when comparing baseline to immediate pot-intervention, baseline to seven days post-intervention, or immediate post-intervention to seven day’s post-intervention. DISCARDS: Based on participant perception, the sham treatment is reasonable facsimile of DN. Lack of significant findings may be the result of a type II error due to the low sample size of this pilot study. Although the protocol is viable, further research including a larger sample size is necessary to determine the effectiveness of paraspinal dry needling at reducing pain and increasing strength in health individuals with shoulder MTrPs. CONCLUSIONS: This pilot study has developed a viable protocol with a reasonable Sham treatment but found no significant changes in deltoid or infraspinatus muscles for tenderness, pain, or force production between treatment groups.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background and aimsMyofascial Trigger Points (MTrPs) treatment of the head and neck muscles can reduce frequency, intensity, and duration of attack in patients with tension-type headache (TTH) and migraine. Recently we proposed a new approach of trigger point therapy, performing precise muscle dry needling (DN) under ultrasound (US) guidance. The aim was to evaluate efficacy of deep DN of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) in neck and shoulder muscles to treat chronic headaches.MethodsWe included 24 patients (15 females, 38u00b16 years old) with intensive chronic persistent or recurrent one- or two-sided pain in temporal and/or occipital areas. Treatment approach by Bubnov [https://doi.org/10.1186/1878-5085-3-13] was applied that included ultrasound identification of MTrPs with following DN under US guidance using steel 28G needles to elicit local muscle response (LTR, `needle grasp`). Visual analogue scale data (VAS0-10) were measured before and after the interventions. ResultsMain active MTrPs were diagnosed in rectus and obliquus capitis inferior muscles, the additional (latent) MTrPs were defined and effectively needled in the ipsilateral shoulder rotator muscles. In one session 1-3 needles were inserted, 1-2 sessions applied to each patient. Retention of needles corelated with LTR and clinical effects. In seventeen patients pain decreased by a VAS of 90% (p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First as a student and later as an assistant instructor dry needling I noticed that there is a certain need amongst students and colleagues for a few clinical and practical examples or cases concerning practicing dry needling (DN). This is the reason why I wanted to write this practical quick guide which hopefully can contribute to develop confidence in effective needling. Dry needling is an innovative clinical successful and reasonable evidence based tool for the elimination of myofascial trigger points and thereby diminishing myofascial pain and movement restriction. It is important that musculoskeletal therapists apply it properly because it can give fast and lasting relief. On the other hand if dry needling and myofascial pain is not thoroughly understood there is obviously not a fast and lasting relief which could lead to frustrations for therapists and patients and could give dry needling a negative appearance. At the same time this practical quick guide wants to be an advocate for using dry needles not only as a myofascial pain syndrome tool but also primarily as a mobilizing tool. Dry needling has a well-known and documented mobilizing quality but this is in general not emphasized as a primary objective in dry needling myofascial pain. Dry needles can be used primarily as a tool to relax muscle fibres in the absence of an obvious myofascial pain pattern. The goal with this is to improve and restore normal mobility in a region and thereby diminishing strain in the whole kinetic chain. When dry needles in the first place are used as a mobilizing tool they fit very well in a manual therapist toolbox where improving of mobility is a main goal. This practical quick guide wants to stimulate musculoskeletal therapists to combine neuro-musculoskeletal therapeutic approaches including dry needling instead of choosing (un)consciously for one approach. For instance the approaches such as the myofascial pain syndrome (Travell, Simons), neuropathy (Gunn), segmental (embryology) neurophysiology and biomechanical (manual therapy). The goal of musculoskeletal dry needling therapy is bringing a swift, lasting, clearly decrease of complaints confirmed by the patient thereby reducing the number of required treatments.This practical quick guide is for musculoskeletal therapists who have successfully finished the basic practical courses for dry needling myofascial trigger points and the myofascial pain syndrome. At this point one should know how to dry needle hygienic and safe. The anatomic knowledge must be excellent. This quick guide is a practical guide and it does not elaborate on psychology, pain physiologic, anatomy or the theoretical aspects of the working hypotheses of dry needling. There are books, course syllabi and articles which explain the neurophysiologic mechanics of myofascial pain and dry needling. This guide is certainly not a substitute for the mandatory practice courses dry needling. The content of this quick guide is based on clinical experience and best evidence. It is not meant to be conclusive, it must be critical reviewed and it hopes to be an aid in stimulating clinical reasoned self-exploration with musculoskeletal dry needling.
