How Our Hands-On Care Fits Seamlessly into Your Complete Healing Plan
Modern life can tie muscles into knots and spark pain that radiates far beyond the trouble spot. At our clinic, we never treat those knots in isolation.
Instead, we weave Therapeutic Massage and its precision counterpart, Trigger Point Therapy, into a broader, chiropractor-directed care plan that may also include spinal adjustments, computerized traction, flexion-distraction, therapeutic ultrasound, shortwave diathermy, interferential stimulation, and corrective exercise.
This integrated strategy means every session moves you farther along your personal journey from pain to performance.
What is Trigger Point Therapy?
Trigger point therapy is a specialized treatment that targets specific "knots" or tight areas in your muscles called trigger points. These sensitive spots can cause pain both locally and in other areas of your body.
How It Works
I'll locate trigger points through careful examination and apply sustained pressure using my hands or specialized tools. This technique:
-
Releases muscle tension and knots
-
Improves blood flow to affected areas
-
Reduces referred pain patterns
-
Restores normal muscle function
-
Breaks the pain-spasm cycle
Conditions We Treat
Trigger point therapy is effective for:
-
Headaches and migraines
-
Neck pain and tension
-
Shoulder pain and stiffness
-
Back pain from muscle tension
-
Hip pain and muscle tightness
-
Chronic pain conditions

What to Expect
You may feel some discomfort during treatment as pressure is applied to tender areas, but this should be tolerable. The discomfort typically decreases as the trigger point releases. Sessions last 10-15 minutes per area treated.
