NYU Looks to have a good pain management center and does list restoration of function. This is important because many pain centers are focused on MANAGING pain. that means using drugs or therapy to stop hurting, but not to CURE the problem. NYU should be good, and the list pediatric pain management. However, upon calling them, they referred us to another location which escapes me now. And their site lists quite a few drug procedures for pediatric. So I’m not so sure they are the best. We looked there because Dr. Norman Marcus, one of the leading researchers in Myofascial Pain is attached to NYU. See more about Dr. Norman Marcus in several related entries. I’ll even add him as a tag he comes up that much.

You are looking for something that feels like a bone. if you are in a pain area, try to follow the muscle up or down to find a lump. In the gluteous maximus (butt muscles) they seem to be close to the attachment point to the bone, but they will run out very far. Trapezius (shoulder blade) trigger points can be around the edge of the shoulder blade but will refer pain to the neck, forhead, eyes, and jaw. This one is commonly misdiagnosed at tension headache or pinched nerve. Here is one place for a trigger point for various areas. Trigger Point Chart.
