Myofascial Trigger Point Shockwave Therapy in Vancouver BC
Myofascial Trigger Point Shockwave Therapy in Vancouver BC offers almost immediate relief even after your first visit. Trigger points are focal areas of muscle and fascia that are in a constant state of contraction, pain and spasm. They appear to be caused by repetitive trauma and overuse of specific activity to a certain muscle. The muscle of your shoulder called the trapezius is a very common area.
In today’s world of computers, tablets and mobile phones, muscles that have evolved to largely move the head, neck, shoulders and arms have been forced into repetitive micromovements everyday. The result is constant pain in the shoulders, neck and headaches for most people. Muscles by their nature of design and function are very adaptive. Body builders get big muscles by overloading and training their muscles. Yoga practitioners can build strength and flexibility by combining isometric muscle contraction with constant stretching of those same muscles. Likewise, repetitive small movements of your head, neck and shoulder muscles will cause those muscles to be constantly shortened and tight because of the small range of movement they are forced to move in everyday. The result are pockets of tight muscle spams within those large muscles that cannot rest and release. Shockwave Therapy for Trigger Points in Vancouver BC has shown remarkable results in reducing this tight muscle spasms.
Stretches, heat, massages and pain medication are all treatments that help to temporarily relief that pain and tightness. However, the symptoms of pain and tightness usually return within 24 hours. Unlike other protocols, Shockwave Therapy for Myofascial Trigger Pain in Vancouver BC can be applied daily to break up these focal areas of muscular spasms and pain. Regaining a full range of motion in your neck and head without restriction and pain should happen within the hour after treatment is to be expected. The relief last days to weeks. For some, with daily stretches and heat, the pain and tightness do not return.
