Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger Point Therapy is a specialized technique that targets tight, sensitive areas in the muscles; commonly known as “knots” or trigger points that can cause pain, stiffness, and discomfort throughout the body. These trigger points often form due to stress, overuse, poor posture, or injury. The purpose of trigger point therapy is to release these tense areas, restore normal muscle function, and relieve pain naturally.

Benefits of Trigger Point Therapy

  • Relieves localized and referred pain

  • Reduces muscle tightness and spasms

  • Improves flexibility and range of motion

  • Enhances circulation and tissue recovery

  • Promotes relaxation and stress relief

  • Complements chiropractic adjustments for longer-lasting results

Long-Term Impact

By releasing chronic tension in the muscles, trigger point therapy not only eases current discomfort but also helps prevent recurring pain and movement limitations. Regular treatment can improve posture, reduce stress on joints, and allow chiropractic adjustments to hold more effectively. Over time, this leads to improved mobility, less pain, and a stronger, healthier body.


Trigger Point Therapy is especially helpful for:

  • Back and neck pain

  • Headaches and migraines

  • Sciatica

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome

  • Sports and overuse injuries

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Post-surgical or chronic pain

  • Shoulder, hip, or joint discomfort

 At Elevate Chiropractic, Dr. Brett Wee may recommend trigger point therapy alongside chiropractic adjustments to provide deeper, longer-lasting relief. By addressing both the spine and the muscles, this combined approach restores balance, reduces pain, and helps you return to the activities you love.
