About Muscle Trigger Points
What you should know
Muscle trigger points — commonly called muscle knots — are hypersensitive spots within a muscle that cause localized pain and referred discomfort in predictable patterns. They develop from overuse, repetitive strain, poor posture, or injury. When trigger points become chronic and don’t respond to massage, dry needling, or manual therapy alone, focused shockwave therapy can penetrate deeper into the tissue to break the pain cycle and stimulate lasting relief.
Our approach
How We Treat Chronic Muscle Trigger Points
At Chiropractic Remedy, we use focused shockwave therapy to target stubborn, deep trigger points that haven't responded to surface-level treatment.
Shockwave therapy may help by:
- 1Disrupting the pain-spasm cycle at the trigger point
- 2Increasing local blood flow to chronically tight or ischemic muscle tissue
- 3Reducing hypersensitivity of the affected muscle fibers
- 4Breaking down adhesions and restricted tissue
- 5Improving range of motion and reducing referred pain patterns
Shockwave therapy is non-surgical, drug-free, and requires no downtime. Many patients begin noticing improvement within a few treatments.
Shockwave therapy may be appropriate if:
- You have chronic trigger points that haven't resolved with massage or physical therapy
- Muscle pain or tension keeps returning despite regular treatment
- You want a non-invasive alternative to dry needling or cortisone injections
- Your pain is limiting daily function, work, or activity
- You're looking for a deeper treatment option for stubborn myofascial pain
