Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Myofascial Pain Syndrome is a chronic pain condition characterized by pain in specific areas of muscles, known as trigger points. These trigger points can become tight and tender, often causing referred pain in other parts of the body. The condition can arise from muscle strain, stress, or injury. Symptoms include local muscle pain, stiffness, and difficulty in movement. Treatment often involves physical therapy, trigger point injections, stretching, and pain management techniques to alleviate discomfort and improve muscle function. Understanding and addressing the underlying causes is essential for effective management.
