Myofascial Release in Richfield, Ohio
While many of us have experienced the occasional ache or discomfort, there are others who experience chronic pain and sadly turn to harmful medications just to make it through the day. Myofascial Release Therapy is a safe and natural alternative to manage pain while restoring the body’s ability to heal itself.
What Is Myofascial Pain?
Myofascial pain, also known as a trigger point, is an adhesion in soft tissue. Connected to our muscles, this soft tissue supports our body’s ability to move freely. If injured, it can become tight and almost glue-like, hindering mobility, causing undue tension, and resulting in chronic pain.
Trigger points decrease blood flow and prevent oxygen and vital nutrition from healing the area. If the adhesion is left untreated, the accumulation of toxins and increased inflammation can lead to nerve damage or even extreme pain.
What Are The Symptoms?
In addition to physical discomfort, untreated trigger points can lead to:
- Headaches
- Limited range of motion
- Fatigue
- Moodiness
- Depression
