At our office we perform trigger point therapy using one of two different techniques. The first is manual; by locating the trigger point and applying gentle pressure directly over it, the area of localized muscle tension slowly releases. The second technique is mechanical; through a physical therapy treatment known as therapeutic ultrasound, sound waves are utilized to help break up the trigger point or "mini-spasm". This will help reduce or eliminate the cause of your symptoms, thus putting you on the road to pain free living!
