Service Overview
We practice trigger point massage therapy in Coopersburg. This type of massage therapy is similar to a deep sports massage and is a great compliment to chiropractic care. Often we see patients whom, even after treating with medical doctors, physical therapy and even other chiropractors, have ongoing problems. In many instances trigger points are overlooked. When not addressed it is frequently the reason the pain always comes back.
What are Trigger Points?
A trigger point is a small contraction knot in the muscle tissue. A trigger point affects the muscle by keeping it tight and weak at the same time. The constant tension in the muscle fibers restricts the circulation in the immediate area. This results in the accumulation of by-products of metabolism, as well as the deprivation of the oxygen and nutrients needed for metabolism. It is a self sustaining vicious cycle. Typically trigger points refer pain to other areas of the body. Luckily the referred pain occurs in specific patterns. Once you know where to look, trigger points are easily located by touch and can be deactivated by several methods. Trigger point therapy is a key component of our massage therapy in Coopersburg, offering effective relief by addressing these muscle knots and helping to restore proper muscle function and circulation.
