Understanding Trigger Points and How They Affect You
Trigger points are localized, highly sensitive knots that develop within tense or spasmed muscle fibers. These tight areas can lead to muscle weakness, general discomfort, and “referred pain”—a phenomenon where discomfort radiates to entirely different parts of the body. When direct pressure is applied to a trigger point, it commonly triggers localized tenderness, a temporary muscle twitch, or spreading pain.
These painful knots can stem from a variety of sources, including muscle strain, physical trauma (like whiplash), poor postural habits, chronic stress, and systemic toxins.

To alleviate a trigger point, targeted mild-to-moderate pressure is sustained over the sensitive zone for about 7 to 10 seconds. At Floro Chiropractic, we frequently pair trigger point therapy with traditional chiropractic adjustments. This combined approach enhances the recovery process and helps your spinal realignments stay in place longer.
