Pain Relief with Trigger Point Self-Help: Because You Deserve to Be Pain Free

Description

75% of pain is caused by trigger points (areas of contracted cells in muscle tissue), but they are drastically under-diagnosed as the source of pain. Trigger points may refer pain and other symptoms both in the local area and/or to other areas of the body, but since over 74% of trigger points are not located in the area where you feel pain, treating the local area does not resolve the problem most of the time. The most common "referral patterns" have been well documented and diagrammed over decades of research. The "home page" of this multi-media book-on-Flashdrive has a photo of a body, where you can place your computer cursor over your area of pain. With a "mouse click," a drop-down list of muscles that may contain trigger points appears. By clicking on the muscle chapter links, your browser takes you to each pertinent chapter. You'll find illustrations of common pain referral patterns that you can compare with where you feel pain, and this will help you figure out where the common trigger point causing your pain are located. Along with outlining the common symptoms and causes for trigger points for each muscle, the author has provided lists of "helpful hints" for resolving trigger points. A written text describes self-help techniques, and you can click on an icon for a video demonstration. The introductory chapters include detailed information on the physiology of trigger points, general guidelines for self-help techniques, and descriptions of therapies that can help resolve trigger points. A comprehensive chapter on factors that cause and keep trigger points activated such as nutritional problems, illness, misfitting furniture, sleep problems, hormonal imbalances, joint misalignments, injuries, and emotional factors helps you identify things that keep your pain coming back. Numerous suggestions help you resolve those factors for lasting relief. This state-of-the-art Flashdrive draws on the decades of research by Doctors Janet Travell and David G. Simons, combined with the 30 years of clinical experience of Acupuncturist, Neuromuscular Therapist, and author Valerie DeLaune, LAc.
