Repetitive motion can lead to trigger points, which are very common sources of pain for patients with low back pain, neck pain, headaches, and fibromyalgia just to name a few.1 Repetitive motion injuries are often referred to as cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs). CTDs are very common in jobs where you repeatedly perform the same movement for most of the day (manufacturing and keyboard work), or where you stay in a static position (working at a desk or standing) without having much variation or break. Identifying and addressing trigger points are an essential part of treating muscle, joint and nerve pain. At our clinic we take a comprehensive approach and work with you to reduce and correct the cause of your pain. If you or someone you know is suffering with pain, trigger points are a likely a contributing factor. If you would like to schedule an appointment, or a complementary phone consultation with Dr. Shook, please don’t hesitate to give us a call and schedule a time. (828) 324-0800
