Trigger Points
Trigger points are tiny contracted knots that develop in a muscle when it is injured or overworked. Trigger points when active usually send their pain to some other area of the body. This is an extremely misleading phenomenon and is the reason conventional treatments for pain so often fail. It’s a mistake to assume that the problem is at the place that hurts!
