Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a chronic pain condition that affects the muscles and soft tissues of the body. It happens when trigger points—or tight knots—form in muscle fibres, resulting in localised pain and discomfort. These trigger sites can send pain to other parts of the body, resulting in a feeling of widespread hurting.
causes of myofascial pain
The actual source of myofascial pain is unknown; however, it is frequently caused by muscle overuse, injury, poor posture, or stress. Activities that require repetitive motion or sustained muscle tension might result in the creation of trigger points. Emotional stress can also enhance pain since muscle tension increases under stress.
Symptoms of myofascial pain
The major symptom is a localised muscular discomfort that may spread to other places, most notably the back, shoulders, neck, and hips. Tender areas in the muscles, limited range of motion, and muscle stiffness are prevalent. Fatigue, sleep problems, and tension headaches are among the other possible symptoms.
Treatment Options:
Common treatments for myofascial pain include physical therapy, trigger point injections, massage therapy, and dry needling. Medication such as muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory medicines can manage pain and inflammation. Sometimes, doctors recommend stress management measures to help prevent flare-ups.
