Causes muscle pain and occurrence of trigger points

Trigger painful muscle seals is a long-term static (isometric) work minimum intensity, causing complex changes in the functional activity of the corresponding neuromotor system.

First of all, this is a space deformation of the working muscle. The thickest, strongest part of the muscle stretches the least thin and weak. With this backup capability, especially for short breaks, not enough time to provide baseline physiological parameters of the motor substrate.

Residual voltage is generated, the spatial deformation of the weak part of the muscle is preserved.





As static continued operation in the specified mode, this deformation increases due to the summation of the upcoming changes.

Joining the local secondary violations dysfunction spinal segmental structures completes the formation of a vicious circle.

Very often it is difficult to determine the cause of the development of a particular trigger point, as its appearance may depend on a number of reasons:

  • pathology of internal organ (a reflex defense of certain muscle groups),
  • a muscle strain, for example, elliptical exercise equipment if used incorrectly can cause pain,
  • lesions of the spine (functional blockade of the vertebral motor segment, organic change)
  • disturbed locomotor pattern (scoliosis, kyphosis, etc.).
 

But in most cases even one of these factors, existing for a long time, only causes the formation of latent trigger points.

In these cases, for the development of clinically-defined myofascial pain syndrome necessary starting factor:

  • hypothermia,
  • working in an uncomfortable position,
  • psychological trauma.
 

Thus, often patients with lumbar pain onset associated with emotional factors. This does not mean that the latter by themselves can cause acute functional blockade of the vertebral motor segment or the development of acute myofascial syndrome, but as a starting mechanism, they can activate existing latent trigger points.

Mechanical stress, causing the development of acute myofascial tigernach points, this is a variety of twisting, stretching in the joints, sprains and bruises the muscles. In most cases, myofascial trigger points caused by such injuries, is easily inactivated adequate measures immediately after recovering injury. Untreated trigger points can persist for many years.

The definition of trigger points on the body

 

It is possible to allocate the risk group myosceletar pain:

  • First, this person, who, by the nature of the work forced to maintain the same type, often an uncomfortable posture during the working time, computer operators, hairdressers, transport drivers, dentists, surgeons, etc.
  • Second, people with impaired motor pattern, which have a strain of different muscle groups. This group should be assigned the patients suffering from any disorders of posture and gait.published
