Acupressure in Greer SC
Trigger Point Therapy in Greer SC, better known as Acupressure, is specific applied pressure to your muscles. This procedure enhances local blood flow, oxygen content, and essential nutrients. By enhancing new blood flow, local irritants ( such as lactic acid) are mechanically pushed through the lymphatic channels and neutralized.
Lumbar Distraction is gentle applied pressure to spinal vertebra to reduce disc pressure and spinal nerve pressure, and promote spinal range of motion. By utilizing Lumbar Distraction, pressure on the disc is transformed from a positive to negative status, which usually means a tremendous reduction of spinal stress.
A small muscular nod, or specifically a trigger point, can be responsible for pain in parts of the body that are quite some distance from where the nodule is itself. It is common for a trigger point in the low to mid back to radiate pain and discomfort into the shoulders and neck. This neck and shoulder pain is likely to cause pain in the head that can be a dull ache or a sharp, intense pain.
Understanding Trigger Point Therapy in Greer SC
This particular kind of therapy is designed to work on the nodule directly. There is specific, controlled pressure that is applied to the trigger point. After a few seconds of pressure, it is released. During this type of massage, the patient participates and communicates by identifying areas of discomfort as well as having controlled, deep breathing.
Relieving the trigger points in a muscle, allows the muscle knot to loosen. Patients often experience immediate relief following one treatment. Regularly scheduled trigger point therapy can give you the benefits of pain management from stress, injury, etc.
