Trigger Point Injections
Trigger points and myofasciitis
Myofasciitis is a general term used to describe pain or other dysfunctions in the network of muscles, tendons, and ligaments and other soft connective tissue that holds our bodies together. Myofascial pain may start abruptly or gradually. Abrupt onset is usually the result of trauma to the muscle, such as a sudden overload or over-extension, while a gradual onset is due to chronic overload, virus, or other disease, or psychogenic stress.

Trigger points and Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy takes trigger point theory a step further, by adding an irritant solution, like dextrose or Phenol to the injection process. This irritant solution helps speed up the proliferation of new collagen tissue. It is highly effective for rejuvenation of joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments.

In order to fully appreciate how Prolotherapy works, it is essential to understand the natural healing process that it mimics, known in the world of medicine as "the natural healing cascade."
