Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Myofascial Pain Syndrome is a chronic pain condition characterized by the presence of trigger points in the muscles. These trigger points are tight knots that can cause pain in the affected muscle and may also refer pain to other areas of the body. This syndrome often results from muscle overuse, injury, or stress, leading to discomfort and reduced mobility.
Treatment for Myofascial Pain Syndrome typically includes physical therapy, massage, and stretching exercises to relieve tension in the muscles. In some cases, medications such as pain relievers or muscle relaxants may be prescribed. Understanding this condition can help individuals manage their symptoms effectively.
