Common Questions and Answers about Massage techniques trigger points

At this point, I’m considering whether the muscles and joints in my neck were injured in the accident, causing trigger points to form which have simply not be dealt with properly since that time. From what I’ve read, trigger points can certainly refer headache pain to the areas where I usually experience headaches. However, I am uncertain about the dizziness involved. My question is: Does anybody with trigger points in the neck also suffer with symptoms of dizziness or vertigo?
m curious if others suffer from what seems like a muscle knots in the shoulder blade area. Since I became ill with Lyme, I have noticed trigger points in my back that send weird sensations down my arms. It almost feels like an electrical like sensation that drives me crazy. I have tried going to a chiropractor and am currently trying some physical therapy with massage. Nothing seems to really help.
Tapping techniques where you tap on some specific trigger points on your wrist and forehead, NO CAFFEINE and cut waaaay back on sugar to little or none. You also need to RELAX! Find ways to calm your mind and body however you can, make time for yourself in a quiet room and do your breathing techniques or meditate. Excercise also helps a lot because it releases positive endorphins into your body. Laughing (even fake laughing) and singing also release those same endorphins so try that.

Just wanted to post a quick update: I had my hot stone massage today and it was fabulous. I didn't realize how many trigger points I had in my neck and scapula until the massage therapist found them all. The heat didn't bother me at all. The only problem was that it ended after only 50 minutes. I could have stayed there forever!
I wish insurance would pay for massages!
These are known as 'trigger points'. I have the same sensations at points on my hips and my neck. When any pressure is applied it feels like a surge of electricity goes through me...and it's quite painful.
We don't know why those with FMS have trigger points. It sounds like what you are experiencing is referred pain. When pressure applied to one area, effects another area on the body.
You will know if the masseuse/masseur has located your active trigger points because when she/he applies pressure to the area it will reproduce your burning sensation.
In the meantime you can help yourself by laying on tennis balls. If the active trigger point is in the serratus posterior superior muscle (under the scapula) you must position your arm across your chest so your shoulder blade moves out of the way.
If they can clearly see you're pregnant they know not to massage you hard enough to trigger those points. I asked at the nail salon & a nurse.
I wana know if anyone has had accupuncture (not accupressure) done while getting a pedicure??? It can help trigger contractions or something like that. I will be 39 weeks tomorrow and am ready to try anything (but caster oil) to get her to come on. I dont really wanna be induced.
For many years now, I’ve suffered from headaches and vestibular symptoms (dizziness and at times more severe vertigo). I believe that these symptoms could be a result of trigger points in my neck and shoulders. Trying to find doctors who are experts at treating trigger points in these areas has been difficult. My question is: Has anyone found a doctor with some expertise in giving trigger point injections, particularly in the neck area, and was your treatment successful?
Trigger point massage isn't the same thing as deep tissue massage. Deep tissue massage goes very deep into muscles, and it hurts. Trigger point massage also hurts, but not as much. For you, it helped and was relaxing afterward. For others, it doesn't help at all -- there's no medical evidence that shows massage actually does anything, but you can't tell that to anyone who has had one and felt a lot better for a while.
In my case, the proper thyroid med may reduce new trigger points from forming, but old, reoccurring trigger points must be delt with individually, as the muscle is in an unhealthy state. It can be a long process (months). My carpel tunnel from triggerpoints in my forarms is now 75% better after six months of trigger release. I had it for 15 years though!. A year ago I had trigger points all over my body, now 75% better! No pain meds anymore either.
Oh man it didnt hurt i love those chairs lol :/
Massage is just not recommended in ur 1st trimester. My doc encouraged me to get a massage. Just make sure it's prenatal massage bcuz there are trigger points and aromatherapy that u want to avoid while pregnant.
If you have you have your significant other give you a foot massage that may help. There "trigger points" around your foot and ankle that will help induce labor. Just a thought. Hope everything goes well.
I was reading something on another website about some people who were abandoning traditional pain management and doing something involving doing something with certain "trigger points" in the body. Some of these people were finding it works for them. Does anyone know about this theraphy and what kind of pain it works for? I imagine its more beneficial to those with centralized pain like lower back, and not all over pain like fibro. I can't find the article now.
