Free yourself from chronic pain and improve your quality of life with targeted treatment methods.
Trigger point therapy focuses on treating trigger points, which are pain-sensitive areas in the muscle tissue. Manual techniques such as pressure and massage relax these points, resulting in pain relief and improved muscle function. We stand out through individually tailored treatments and a highly qualified team specialising in an effective, patient-focused approach. This expertise ensures targeted and effective treatment that is matched to the specific needs of each patient.
Alongside a broad range of orthopaedic treatments, our practice also offers trigger point therapy. This form of therapy is a valuable addition to our existing services, as it specifically targets the relief of muscular tension and pain, which is often associated with orthopaedic complaints. We have several experienced therapists specialising in myofascial therapy, an area that includes trigger point therapy. This expertise enables us to offer comprehensive, holistic treatment.
Trigger point therapy is an essential part of the physiotherapythat we offer in our practice. In terms of billing, we treat this specific form of therapy exactly like any other physiotherapy session.
This means that the usual costs charged for physiotherapeutic treatments apply to trigger point therapy. This pricing approach allows our patients to benefit from specialised, targeted treatment without incurring any additional financial burden.
Our patients consistently share positive experiences of trigger point therapy. They report noticeable pain relief, improved mobility and a general sense of well-being after treatment. This positive feedback confirms the effectiveness of our treatment methods.
In the treatment of a trigger point as offered by ANDRUKONIS Physiotherapy, specific techniques such as manual pressure and massage are used to release the sensitive muscle knots. This leads to relief from pain and tension. Treatment at ANDRUKONIS is tailored to the individual patient, combining trigger point therapy with other physiotherapeutic methods to treat both the symptoms and the underlying causes effectively.
Trigger point treatment is a form of therapy aimed at relieving pain caused by tense areas of muscle, known as trigger points. Targeted pressure relaxes these points, which leads to pain relief and improved mobility.
The question „What does trigger point treatment achieve?“ can be answered by looking at the situations in which this form of therapy is particularly useful. Trigger point therapy is appropriate for chronic and acute pain caused by tense muscles and the associated trigger points. These points in the muscle tissue can cause localised pain as well as radiating symptoms in other areas of the body.
The treatment aims to relax the trigger points using special techniques such as pressure and massage, which leads to a reduction in pain and an improvement in muscle mobility. This is particularly effective for complaints such as back pain, neck stiffness, headaches or overuse syndromes, and can contribute to a significant improvement in well-being.
Trigger points often arise from muscle overload, poor posture, direct injuries or from persistent stress and psychological strain. They are localised areas of hardening in the muscle tissue that feel like sensitive knots and can trigger pain when pressed. Often these points are responsible not only for local complaints but also for radiating pain. Insufficient recovery periods, repetitive movements and poor ergonomics at the workplace can also contribute to the development of trigger points. Their treatment aims to relax the hardened areas and thereby reduce pain and restore normal muscle function.
Manual trigger point therapy is a technique that works with direct pressure on the trigger points in the muscle tissue. These points are often hardened and sensitive to pain. The therapist applies targeted pressure to these specific points in order to release muscle tension and promote circulation. This process helps to reduce pain and restore the functionality of the muscle. The treatment is particularly effective for muscular tension and can relieve pain and improve mobility.
Most trigger points are typically found in areas of high muscular load, such as the neck, shoulders, lower back and hip muscles. These regions are particularly susceptible to the formation of trigger points due to everyday strain, poor posture or repetitive movements.
The time needed to release trigger points varies depending on the severity and duration of the complaints. As a rule, a noticeable improvement can be achieved after a few treatment sessions, but complete resolution can require several weeks to months of regular therapy. Every case is different.
Trigger points are particularly painful because they are areas of muscle tissue that are hardened and hypersensitive. They can arise from accumulated waste products, insufficient blood flow and persistent muscle tension, which leads to localised and radiating pain.
A trigger point typically feels like a small, firm knot in the muscle tissue. When pressed it can trigger a sharp, stabbing pain or a deep, dull discomfort. It is often also the cause of radiating pain in neighbouring areas of the body.
Pressing on trigger points often triggers what is known as referred pain, which can radiate beyond the point itself into other areas of the body. It can also cause a temporary increase in the sensation of pain, followed by relaxation and a reduction in muscle tension.
