Trigger Points

Trigger points are small, palpable nodes in muscle that typically develop in the upper back and shoulders. These contracted knots could cause “referred pain,” also known as pain that is felt in an area other than where it’s being caused. Individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain disorders generally have an increased risk of developing trigger points.

The first step in treating your pain is to get an accurate diagnosis of the cause of your symptoms. Based on your diagnosis, you and your doctor can determine your best treatment options.
