Muscle Pain


 

Treating Your Muscle Pain and Muscle Injuries with Trigger Point Injections

Muscle pain may be mild to severe, and it can be the result of numerous triggerin occurrences. You may know exactly how your muscle was pulled or strained, maybe even by playing your favorite sport of heavy lifting during manual labor, or you may have no idea where the pain came from.  Your pain may be acute and felt immediately, or chronic hurting only during certain activities.  At Lifestyle Medical Center, we have a modern medical solution for your muscle pain and muscle injury!  Our medical staff is ready to WOW you with your trigger point injections, a quick and easy treatment for your muscle pain. 

What Are The Symptoms of Muscle Injury? 

Many patients resort to over-the-counter medication daily to get through the day with muscle pain and muscle injury.  For a bit, it works!  However, swallowing pills every day only masks injury, never healing the source of the pain.  Our highly-skilled medical staff believes in finding the source of the pain, and treating it at that point.  If you have any of the following symptoms of muscle injury and strain, we can help!

Here are some symptoms of muscle injury:

  • Sudden onset of pain
  • Continued sharp or dull pain
  • Soreness
  • Swelling
  • Stiffness
  • Muscle Knot
  • Bruising
  • Discoloration
  • Redness
  • Pain while resting
  • Pain when using the specific muscle or related joint
  • Weakness of the muscle or tendons
  • Muscle spasms
  • Limited range of motion
  • Inability to use the muscle

At Lifestyle Medical Center, we can treat your muscle injury symptoms with a safe and natural solution!

We offer a non-invasive and drug-free solution for muscle injuries!

At Lifestyle Medical Center, we treat each individual patient for the muscle injury and muscle pain unique to them.  Our medical staff will create a customized care plan that incorporates a modern medical approach, meaning we don’t prescribe to older treatments that have proven inadequate.  At your first visit, we will give you a thorough and comprehensive exam to create an individualized care plan to heal your muscle injury and get you on the road to recovery!

What is the source of my muscle pain?  Scientific studies have long shown that trigger points, which are small knots that form in the myofascial tissue that covers your muscles, often cause muscle pain.  Myofascial tissue is a thin, strong, and fibrous tissue that surrounds the muscles in your body, providing support and protection to your muscles, joints, and bones.  When Trigger Points form in the myofascial tissue, it can be extremely painful and chronic.

Locating and releasing your trigger points can alleviate muscle pain!

During your initial visit, our medical team at Lifestyle Medical Center will locate any trigger points that are causing you pain and discomfort.  Trigger points can occur for a variety of reasons:

  • Injury
  • Repetitive trauma
  • Poor posture
  • Sleep disorders
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Sedentary behavior
  • Lack of movement or exercises

After your muscles experience a trigger point injury, it can cause a ripple effect throughout your entire body.  A muscle affected by a trigger point will tighten and become weak.  You will instinctively stop using the muscle, leading surrounding muscles to pick up the slack.  This compensation for the injured muscle will lead to all surrounding areas becoming tense, stressed, and overworked.

Often we can feel pain in completely separate areas of the body, but it’s often being caused by a trigger point injury.  This radiation of pain is called referred pain, and it can lead to a decreased range of motion and an increased level of discomfort.  All of this unequal movement and activity within your body can throw your body out of alignment and before you know it, you have an array of pain issues, all started by a small knot in your muscle.  Trigger point pain can be felt in the following areas:

  • Back
  • Neck
  • Shoulders
  • Head
  • Joints
  • Jawbone
  • Ears (ringing in the ears)
  • Pelvis
  • Legs

Come visit us at Lifestyle Medical Center to get to the root of your pain, and knock it out with a quick and natural treatment plan!
