Specialist for Myofascial Pain Syndrome in Clifton, New Jersey
Myofascial pain therapy relieves soft tissue restriction that causes our body pain and discomfort. When triggered by nociceptors, muscle fibers can cause a localized tightness or knot in muscles resulting in myofascial trigger points- an area of the muscle fiber contracted to form what is called sarcomeres which when stimulated leads to inflammation (or perceived as painful) often causing itchy skin sensations. Myofascia has hypertonic contractions with fasciitis restrictions leading not only mild local irritation but also more generalized effects such as increased sensitivity especially for those who experience certain types of arthritis like osteoarthritis where they have chronic joint stiffness including restricted mobility, reduced movement range and changes from normal wear on cart.
