Trigger points are small, tight knots that develop in muscle tissue and can cause pain when activated. Trigger Point Therapy applies pressure to these trigger points, breaking up adhesions in the muscles and releasing tension which helps promote healing and relaxation.
Trigger point therapy is a type of massage therapy that focuses on the treatment of trigger points, which are areas of tightness and tension in the muscle tissue. These trigger points can cause pain and discomfort in other parts of the body and may be caused by a variety of factors, including muscle strain, repetitive use, or injury. During a trigger point therapy session, the therapist will apply pressure to the trigger points using their fingers, palms, or elbows in order to release the tension and reduce pain. The therapist may also stretch the muscle and use other techniques to improve mobility and reduce discomfort. Trigger point therapy is often used in conjunction with other massage techniques and may be effective in relieving chronic pain and improving overall muscle function.
What is a “Trigger Point”?
A trigger point is a small, tender area within a muscle that can cause pain in other parts of the body. These points are often referred to as “knots” because they can feel like small, hard lumps in the muscle tissue. Trigger points can be caused by a variety of factors, including muscle strain, repetitive use, or injury. They can also be the result of emotional stress or poor posture. When a trigger point is present, it can cause discomfort or pain in the area directly surrounding the trigger point, as well as in other areas of the body. For example, a trigger point in the upper back might cause pain in the neck or shoulders. Trigger points can be sensitive to the touch and may cause discomfort or pain when pressure is applied to them.
What does Trigger Point Therapy Treat?
Here are some common reasons why someone might consider seeking trigger point therapy:
Chronic muscle pain: Trigger point therapy can be effective in relieving chronic muscle pain caused by trigger points.
Poor posture: Poor posture can cause trigger points to form, and trigger point therapy can help to relieve the resulting muscle tension and discomfort.
Repetitive use injuries: People who perform the same movements repeatedly, such as athletes or those who work in physically demanding jobs, may develop trigger points due to the strain on their muscles. Trigger point therapy can help to reduce pain and improve muscle function.
Stress or tension: Emotional stress and tension can cause muscle tension, leading to the formation of trigger points. Trigger point therapy can help to release this tension and reduce discomfort.
Headaches: Some research suggests that trigger point therapy may be effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of headaches, including migraines.
Fibromyalgia: Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition that is often characterized by the presence of trigger points in the muscles. Trigger point therapy may be helpful in relieving pain and improving overall muscle function in people with fibromyalgia.
What to Expect During a Trigger Point Therapy Session
The length of a trigger point therapy session can vary depending on the specific needs and goals of the individual receiving treatment. In general, our trigger point therapy sessions at Armeli Chiropractic may last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. During this time, the therapist will work to identify and treat trigger points in the muscle tissue. This may involve applying pressure to the trigger points using their fingers, palms, or elbows, as well as stretching the muscle and using other techniques to improve mobility and reduce discomfort.
Some people may need more than one trigger point therapy session in order to achieve the desired results, while others may see improvement after just one session. It is important to discuss your specific needs and goals with your therapist in order to determine the appropriate length of treatment.

Dr Armeli has been a lifesaver! Since starting I’ve been able to set my cane aside for the most part. Everyone is so nice and friendly ! Highly recommend everyone uses Armeli Chiropractic!
Definitely recommend! So easy to work with, and scheduling is so easy. My daughter is a competitive volleyball player and at the end of her last season she could barely get out of the car, put on socks, etc. She was was afraid she'd have to take time off from the sport she loves but after many visits and the decompression table, it's been a world of difference for her! The before and after x-rays are unreal.
Armeli Chiropractic! Everyone is so friendly, helpful and helpful. I was in several car accidents, Andrew is continuing to help me get better! I am so thankful!!
I’ve completed four of my recommended sessions and already feel real improvement. Andrew and Sara took the time to clearly explain my treatment plan before starting, which made me feel very comfortable. The whole team has been friendly and accommodating.
Dr. Armeli and Sara were a wonderful addition to my treatment plan. If my insurance still covered them and I lived a bit closer I would still be seeing them every chance I could. I can't recommend their services highly enough! 😄
Came in for an initial exam for some neck pain. They got me on a treatment plan right away, and sure enough halfway through the plan my neck was feeling 100% again. Everyone is super friendly and they will take great care of you.
Excellent experience!!! Dr. Armeli is very knowledgeable and was able to help neck and back issues I’ve had for years. He took the time to explain what was going on and how it could be fixed. They’re also very flexible with scheduling, which is so helpful. Highly recommend!!
I’ve been seeing Dr. Armeli for a while and I always feel better afterwards. My appointments are efficient, effective and definitely worth it! The ladies that work there are great as well! 10/10 recommend :)
Wonderful experience every single time! I experienced back pain through a work injury, and they got me back up on my feet! I would 100% recommend them to anyone and do as we speak!! Thank you Andrew and Sara🙏❤️
It is about how Dr. ARMELI takes time to call, message and keep in touch that made me keep in touch. They care and they show it...it's worth your time and money...
This place is on the ball. I had been seeing someone else for my car accident and in my first visit Dr Armeli was able to diagnose serious issues that another practice had missed. Would recommend this to anyone hurt in an accident.
Armeli Chiropractic has really helped me! I was in a car accident and they were my go to. I am feeling better each day! They have gone Above and Beyond. Thank you!
Great chiropractor! I was involved in a vehicle accident back in October. Needed care for my neck and back, so far the process has been smooth. Appreciate the entire crew at Armeli!
I’ve been getting adjusted for years. I received my first adjustment from Dr. Armeli a few days ago, and it’s by far the best adjustment I’ve ever had—and it’s not even close.
I've played competitive volleyball since I was 13 and suffered from some serious hip alignment and low back issues. Since coming to Armeli Chiropractic consistently, I've noticed a huge improvement in my overall health and am able to engage in the activities I love. 10/10 recommend this business and its locally owned!
I am a dental hygienist and have always struggled with neck/back pain. This pain was exacerbated after a non-work related injury. After coming here for a few months I have zero pain and can feel a difference physically and mentally. 10 stars for the work they do and the staff themselves!!
Dr. Armeli and Alex were amazing. It was my first time in and everything was explained and concerns were addressed. Dr. Armeli works fast and efficient which is great for those with busy schedules. So glad I checked them out!
I've never been disappointed with Dr Armeli's care and expertise. Highly recommend him! I have severe scoliosis and his weekly adjustments have really helped with the pain! Get some custom orthotics, too!
I absolutely love coming here. Everyone is very kind and understanding. They have 3 traction tables which is great, not everyone has them and I find them very beneficial before my adjustments. Highly recommend, great service
I started seeing Dr. Armeli during my pregnancy for hip and lower back issues. He was great to work with and would recommend him to anyone. Sarah is also so kind and helpful!

Decor is so relaxing. when you walk in .<br>Doctor Armeli is so confident with his experience and will assure you that he will make you feel better and immediately you see that with his technique of treatment.
