Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Myofascial Pain Syndrome is a chronic pain condition caused by a strain or an injury that affects the muscles, ligaments and tendons throughout the body. The strain or injury on any one or more of these areas may cause pressure on the trigger points in your muscles and ultimately pain – this is Myofascial pain. While Myofascial Pain Syndrome can affect essentially every muscle in your body, the most common area affected is the neck.

Castle Connolly Top Doctors

Myofascial pain caused by a strain is often due to repetitive motions and overuse. Most people refer to their pain as feeling “tight” or as though they have knots in the affected area. While almost all people experience these symptoms at some point in their life, patients with Myofascial Pain Syndrome experience these symptoms chronically and they may even get worse over time. Muscle injury and frequent stress or anxiety are also risk factors for developing Myofascial Pain Syndrome.

Treatment for Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Myofascial Pain Syndrome
The team of Board Certified Pain Management Specialists at The Spine & Rehab Group treat Myofascial Pain Syndrome very often. Non-surgical treatments are offered in both Manhattan and New Jersey and include:

Physical Therapy – Our team of knee pain doctors develop customized treatment plans for knee pain or injury. Through physiotherapy, we seek to strengthen the muscles around the knee and increase range of motion, which is often effective in relieving knee pain.

Trigger Point Injections – Non-surgical trigger point injections are administered in the office to treat muscle pain. Relief from muscle pain is often experienced after one trigger point injection.

Anti Inflammatory Medication often called NSAIDs, may be prescribed to reduce inflammation of the herniated disc and relieve pain caused by nerve entrapment.

Alternative Treatments such as Acupuncture and Therapeutic Massage, provide pain relief for knee problems and aid in the healing and recovery process.

patient TESTIMONIALS ★★★★★

Dr. Hosny diagnosed me with bilateral neck inflammation. We're treating it with anti-inflammatories, dry needling and cupping. I've been doing neck physical therapy twice a week. So far, I like it very much. Thanks, The Spine and Rehab Group!
