What You Should Know About Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy is a specialized type of massage therapy that targets your trigger points: the locations of the origin of your pain. For instance, you may have lower back pain as a result of an issue with your legs. Therefore, the massage focuses on your legs.
Dr. Palumbo massages the center around your trigger point to ease the pressure. The entire concept of trigger point therapy revolves around the fact that waste products build up around your nerve clusters and stimulate nerve pain and other nerve-related symptoms. Sometimes, these symptoms spread beyond the initial site of the pain because the waste can cause bands or nodules that press on your soft tissue. The massage breaks up the clusters to ease your symptoms.
