What is Myofascial Trigger Points?
Trigger points are described as localized, sensitive areas in a taut band of skeletal muscle. Their identification relies on clinical examination, and terminology and diagnostic criteria continue to be discussed.
MUSCULOSKELETAL / CLINICAL APPLICATION
Myofascial Trigger Points
Myofascial trigger points are clinically identified sensitive areas within muscle that may be associated with local or referred discomfort. Assessment should consider other possible causes of pain.
CLINICAL IMAGEMusculoskeletal
CONDITION OVERVIEW
Understanding the condition.
Common Symptoms
- Localized muscle tenderness
- Pain that may be felt away from the sensitive area

APPLICATION IMAGEPROFESSIONAL USE
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY APPLICATION
How shockwave therapy is considered.
Shockwave therapy can deliver mechanical stimulation to selected superficial soft-tissue regions. Its use for myofascial presentations should be based on professional assessment and appropriate device documentation.
A trained professional may incorporate shockwave therapy into a broader plan that can include movement, exercise and manual approaches. Treatment location and patient tolerance require careful review.
TREATMENT BENEFITS
Designed to support professional care.
Non-invasive Treatment
