trigger point management

[mulberry]

trigger points form from inadequate circulation to areas of muscle. blood can usually get in otherwise trigger points would become necrotic and fester and this makes sense bcoz arteries have muscles that move the blood better than say veins wich easily collapse in on itself and block the return of blood out of the trigger site. the stagnant blood is full of metabolic waste product suchas lactic acid and hydrogen inflamatory markers ect. so based on the above anything that promotes improved circulation will help. but this is a short term solution bcoz we have no dealt with what has caused the trigger point. trigger points is induced by spasm usually muscle but recent research has demonstrated fascial contractility as well in the thoracolumbar fascia. muscle spasm may have neuro component where the muscle tone may be caused by arthrogenic irritation. the spinal level should be cleared with resistive TP's. the nerve bed should investigated to release any entrapments and relieve any associated neurogenic inflammation that may be cause local neural sensitisation. then try different palpation techniques to release muscle spasm induce relaxation by stimulating the muscle spindle (PNF) or golgi tendon organs (post isometric relaxation) or simple with palpation stimulate ruffini corpuscles or meisener corpuscles by applying the appropriate stimulation to fire either of these receptors.
