Help for Myofascial Pain Syndrome in Council Bluffs
If you’ve ever felt persistent muscle knots or tension that just won’t go away, you may be dealing with myofascial pain syndrome. Trigger points (those tight, sensitive spots in your muscles) can create local soreness or even refer pain to other areas of the body. Over time, this can cause stiffness, limited movement, and ongoing discomfort that interferes with work, exercise, and daily activities.
Dr. Denise Woods at Total Care Chiropractic is committed to helping patients find relief from these frustrating pain patterns. With a gentle, whole-body approach, our care is designed to ease tension, restore mobility, and support long-term comfort.
Understanding the Root of Myofascial Pain
Unlike simple muscle soreness, myofascial pain develops when muscles remain tense for extended periods. This leads to tight bands and tender trigger points that keep the pain cycle going. Contributing factors often include repetitive strain or overuse injuries, poor posture, stress, or even past trauma. Limited movement and deconditioning can also play a role, making the condition harder to resolve without support.
A Gentle, Targeted Approach
Relieving myofascial pain requires more than just addressing the sore spot. We use safe, personalized techniques to relax tight muscles, improve circulation, and restore function. Your care plan may include chiropractic adjustments to realign the spine, soft tissue therapy to release trigger points, and postural coaching to reduce strain in everyday activities.
We’ll also introduce stretching and movement strategies to improve flexibility and help prevent flare-ups in the future.
