Trigger Points Common in Those with Migraines and Tension Headaches in Fanwood

A myofascial trigger point is a hyperirritable spot found in skeletal muscle that is associated with chronic pain conditions.

A recent research review found that myofascial trigger points are prevalent among both migraine and tension-type headache sufferers, though the role trigger points play in the pathophysiology of these common disorders remains unknown.

Previous research has demonstrated that reducing trigger points may result in a reduction in both headache frequency and intensity in some headache patients in Fanwood.

Doctors of chiropractic commonly treat trigger points with manual therapy techniques.
