In any office, at any home, at any job, it is easy to find patients with deep neck pain, back pain, low back pain, shoulder pain, hand pain, knee pain or heel pain. Why are there more and more chronic pain sufferers when people are living in better and better conditions today? The root of the problem is that the way people live, study and work is not the same as it used to be. Although most people no longer need to engage in heavy physical labor, but continued poor posture, sedentary, lack of daily activities and exercise, overweight, tobacco and alcohol and other poor eating habits, mental tension and long-term lack of sleep are commonplace in modern life, learning and work, and it is these factors that keep the muscles under constant tension, making many seemingly effortless work also produce musculoskeletal Chronic damage to musculoskeletal pain. Therefore, it is said that “the 21st century is the age of pain”. People may say that they can go to the doctor if they have pain. But the reality is not that they have not gone to the doctor, but that they have gone to the doctor. They have been to the doctor, had many expensive tests and films, but often the result is no major problem. They may feel better after receiving treatments such as medication, physical therapy or acupuncture, but the pain quickly returns and there seems to be no practical way to solve the problem completely. Over time, they are forced to believe that surgery is the only solution, even though they have been told that surgery is also not guaranteed to be effective and can be risky. Modern people are drifting into a state of confusion on the road to eliminating pain and desiring health. So what exactly is their problem? Recognizing Muscle Trigger Points Strong clinical practice and research has shown that most common pain, and many other unexplained symptoms, are actually caused by the presence of trigger points within the muscle. Some clinicians who specialize in examining and treating trigger points have found that they are the primary cause of pain about 75% of the time, and play at least some role in almost all pain problems. So what constitutes a muscle trigger point? A trigger point, also known as an agonist or trigger point, is a specific location within a muscle that can provoke pain, which is usually palpable as a painful nodule and taut muscle fiber spasm band, with symptoms of increased pain and localized muscle tremors and distal involvement pain when palpated; often with sympathetic phenomena, easy fatigue, sleep disturbances, and a host of other pain-based syndromes It is often associated with sympathetic phenomena, fatigue, sleep disorders, and a series of pain-based syndromes. In severe cases, it can lead to unbearable pain, restricted joint movement, work impairment, and even inability to work. To use an analogy, muscles are like the soil in which the body’s blood vessels and nerves grow, while trigger points are like hard lumps in the land that lacks irrigation and care. Pressing on a trigger point triggers a highly sensitive pain; the pain also moves distally or proximally to the muscle in a specific form causing distant pain. Trigger points cause constant tension in muscle fibers, which can lead to joint degeneration, vascular and nerve compression, movement restrictions, and chronic fatigue. Without proper treatment, trigger points can perpetuate many discomforting symptoms. Myofascial trigger point therapy is a massage treatment method based on Western medicine human anatomy, based on the patient’s symptoms, finding nodal points (there may be more than one nodal point) on the corresponding myofascia, and using massage techniques or sharp needles to open the nodal points in order to alleviate and eliminate the patient’s symptoms. The theory is very similar to the theory of meridian points in Chinese medicine, both use “points”, but one is to follow the body’s muscular and nervous system network, the other is from the meridian system. Myofascial trigger points can treat symptoms both locally and distally, which is also very similar to the application of meridian points in Chinese medicine. Bladed needle treatment involves repeatedly puncturing in different directions to disrupt or stimulate trigger points and tension bands or high stress nodes, thereby inactivating pain sensation in sensory neurons; there are generally both flat and straight punctures. Treatment with an edged needle is designed to release tissue tension within the injured fascia and improve its circulation. After the puncture, the treated muscle is immediately relaxed and the affected area feels relaxed. Blade needle therapy, is derived from the ancient nine needles, with modern medical theory as the framework, with modern treatment concept as the guide, in the design of the shape and operation of the needle, emphasizing the generation of information regulation, release of excessive stress, traditional and modern combination of a characteristic therapy, it has the advantages of exact efficacy, safety minimally invasive, wide range of indications. On the basis of acupuncture, after years of clinical practice, it is improved to make it more characteristic than acupuncture, which is more minimally invasive, safer and more effective, lighter in pain, stronger in acupuncture, wider in indications, multi-point treatment, easier for patients to accept, closer to modern medicine, etc. It has unique effects on cervical pain, headache and dizziness, pillow, “leaky shoulder”, knee epicondylitis (tennis elbow), carpal tunnel syndrome, lumbosacral pain, hip and pear syndrome, knee osteoarthritis (hyperplasia), heel spur, etc.!
