Understanding Myofascial Pain Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
Do You Suffer from Myofascial Pain? Discover Relief at Active Sport & Spine Therapy in Little Falls, NJ!
Living with myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) can be a persistent challenge, affecting the connective tissue enveloping muscles, known as fascia. At Active Sport & Spine Therapy in Little Falls, NJ, our dedicated team is committed to providing personalized treatments to help you find relief and regain your quality of life.
Myofascial pain is characterized by chronic discomfort, impacting the fascia covering muscles. MPS involves pain and presumed inflammation in the body’s soft tissues or muscles, potentially affecting a single muscle or a group. Trigger points, believed to develop due to injury or strain, can cause referred pain in other areas.
Causes of Myofascial Pain
Muscle injuries, excessive strain on specific muscles, ligaments, or tendons, injury to intervertebral disks, general fatigue, repetitive motions, medical conditions (e.g., heart attack, stomach irritation), and lack of activity (e.g., a broken arm in a sling) can contribute to myofascial pain.
Recognizing Myofascial Pain Symptoms
Muscle pain with specific “trigger” or “tender” points, aggravation with activity or stress, local or regional pain, and associated symptoms like depression, fatigue, and behavioral disturbances are common indicators of myofascial pain.
