Muscle pain is one of the most common complaints among patients with chronic pain or musculoskeletal conditions. At Revive Spine & Joint in Boston, our specialists frequently treat patients with pain caused by trigger points—tight, sensitive knots that form within muscle tissue and contribute to localized and referred pain throughout the body.
Trigger points are small, hyperirritable areas in a muscle that feel like firm nodules under the skin. These knots occur when muscle fibers contract and fail to relax, often as a result of muscle overuse, trauma, or poor posture. Trigger points can limit range of motion, cause persistent stiffness, and even refer pain to other regions of the body, mimicking conditions such as sciatica, tension headaches, or neck strain.
Patients with active trigger points often describe a deep, aching pain that worsens with movement or touch. Other symptoms may include:
If left untreated, these symptoms can interfere with daily activities and quality of life.
Our Boston-based team uses advanced diagnostic and therapeutic techniques to identify and relieve trigger point pain. Treatment options may include:
If muscle pain persists despite rest or massage, or if you experience recurring stiffness that limits movement, professional evaluation is essential.
