Knowing chronic myofacial pain syndrome
Myofacial pain
syndrome is a musculoskeletal condition that results in pain in
the musculoskeletal areas of the body. This is a syndrome in which
if the patient is touched at a tender triggering point in the muscle
or skeleton the pain is felt in some other area of the body. These
trigger points are taut band or a ropey strip of muscle tissue.
Trigger points that cause pain in other areas of the body are formed
due to injury in the intervertebral discs, or generalized fatigue.
Excessive exercise and over activity might also cause trigger points
that leads to myofacial pain.
Lack of activity,
nutritional deficiencies, and hormonal changes can also cause this
syndrome. Nervous tension or stress and chilling of the areas of
the body might also cause this syndrome. Myofacial pain syndrome
can cause pain or malfunction throughout the body with many side
effects. It is found that many people suffer from this syndrome
but most of it is not diagnosed. It is not possible to find out
MPS through X-rays, myelograms and CAT scans. This
syndrome should be properly diagnosed before starting any treatment
for it. Trigger Point therapy is one of the ways of treating Myofacial
Pain Syndrome. Spray and Stretch techniques can also be used for
treating MPS. This treatment involves the stretching of the muscles
with a vapocoolant spray used on the trigger point to reduce the
pain. Then a physiotherapist would stretch the muscle.
Another way
to treat the trigger points is to administer local anesthesia directly
on the trigger points. Chiropractic or Osteopathic manipulation
treatments are also done for MPS. Craniosacral therapy is also done
to treat MPS conditions. Improvement in nutrition and a change in
the sleeping routines are recommended for patients suffering from
MPS. To improve sleeping low doses of tricyclic anti depressants
can be given. The doses of these anti depressants is minimal than
that is given for depression patients. Simple exercises and physical
therapy by hands through a physiotherapist are recommended for treating
myofacial pain syndrome.
