**Muscle Knots, Tightness or Ongoing Aches? It Could Be Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS)**
Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) is a common condition involving sensitive “trigger points” within muscles and surrounding connective tissue. These tight, irritated areas can cause not only local pain, but also pain that radiates into other parts of the body.
Many people describe it as persistent muscle tightness, deep aching, or painful “knots” that never seem to fully go away.
**Common Symptoms Include:**
• Tight, tender muscle knots
• Persistent aching or burning pain
• Reduced movement or flexibility
• Pain that spreads or “refers” into other areas
• Headaches, neck pain, or shoulder tension
• Increased pain with stress, posture, or repetitive movement
Trigger points can develop from:
• Poor posture
• Muscle overuse
• Repetitive strain
• Injury or trauma
• Stress and tension
At Coastal Spine & Neuro Rehab, we take a comprehensive approach to muscle pain by assessing how the muscles, joints, nervous system, and movement patterns all work together.
Care may include:
🤲 Soft tissue and trigger point therapy
🦴 Chiropractic care and movement assessment
💪 Rehabilitation and strengthening exercises
🧠 Neurological and postural evaluation
The goal is to reduce pain, improve movement, and help restore normal muscle function — not just temporarily relieve symptoms.
If ongoing muscle tension or trigger points are affecting your daily life, it may be worth getting it properly assessed.
