Relieve Pain & Tension with Trigger Point Therapy at Pulse Acupuncture
What are Motor Points & Trigger Points?

Motor points and trigger points are interconnected components of the musculoskeletal system. Trigger points are hypersensitive areas within the muscle fibers that can develop due to a variety of factors such as muscle overuse, trauma, stress, or poor posture. They can cause localized pain, muscle tightness, and restricted range of motion. Motor points, on the other hand, are specific locations where motor nerve fibers enter the muscle tissue. These points are targeted in certain therapeutic approaches, including facial acupuncture, to stimulate facial motor points and enhance their function.
How Do Trigger Points and Motor Points Release Work?
Trigger point therapy focuses on identifying and applying targeted pressure to the trigger points, which helps alleviate pain, restore normal muscle function, and promote overall well-being. By applying pressure or using other therapeutic techniques such as dry needling, manual therapy, or stretching, the practitioner can effectively release the tension and tightness associated with trigger points. This allows the muscle fibers to relax, increases blood flow to the area, and promotes the healing process.
Motor points, when stimulated through therapeutic techniques like acupuncture, can activate specific muscles, improve their strength, and restore proper muscle coordination. By targeting motor points, practitioners can help individuals regain normal muscle function and improve their overall physical performance.
The Benefits of Trigger Point Release at Pulse Acupuncture
Trigger point pressure release therapy offers numerous benefits for individuals experiencing muscle pain and dysfunction. By releasing trigger points, this therapy helps reduce muscle tension, improve flexibility, and restore optimal muscle balance. It is particularly effective in addressing various musculoskeletal conditions, including tension headaches, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, fibromyalgia, sports-related injuries, and myofascial pain syndrome.
In addition to pain relief, trigger point release therapy enhances blood circulation and lymphatic flow. Improved circulation helps deliver oxygen and essential nutrients to the muscles, facilitating tissue healing and repair. By increasing lymphatic flow, this therapy also aids in the removal of metabolic waste products from the muscles, further promoting the healing process.
Trigger point release therapy can be utilized as a standalone treatment or as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation plan. It not only addresses the immediate pain and discomfort, but also helps identify and correct underlying imbalances in the musculoskeletal system, providing long-term relief and improved overall physical function.
