Trigger points are small, sensitive nodules that can form in tight or spasmed muscles. They may contribute to muscle weakness, discomfort, and pain that can sometimes travel to other areas of the body. Applying manual pressure to a trigger point may cause local tenderness, a brief muscle twitch, or referred pain.
Trigger points can develop from muscle overuse, trauma such as whiplash, poor posture, stress, toxins, and many other factors. To help release a trigger point in Eden Prairie, mild to medium pressure is applied to the area for approximately 7 to 10 seconds. At Floro Chiropractic, patients may receive trigger point therapy alongside chiropractic care to support recovery and help spinal adjustments hold more effectively.
