The Doctor was Wrong

This site is dedicated to providing information on Myofascial Pain Disorder, Trigger Points, and other symptoms related to chronic pain. There are a number of things that will cause trigger points and myofascial pain, but a sudden trauma is the typical. A car accident or a fall can trigger it. In most people, there is a sudden tightening of the muscles, the body is bruised from the contraction and/or impact, but it heals. In other people, and the relationship is not fully understood, the muscles remain tightened. If the muscles are not treated with massage and therapy right after the trauma, the tightness can set in causing trigger points. Myofascial Pain Disorder(MPD) occurs because the fascia or the membrane layer over the muscles, tightens up and holds the muscle in a compressed state. Diagnosed properly and treated soon enough, the fascia can be eased out and stretched back to its proper state. Misdiagnosis can lead to years of recovery and frequently to a lifetime disability.
