Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS)
Applies to: Back, Elbow/Hand/Wrist, Neck, Shoulder
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is characterized by chronic pain that is caused by multiple trigger points and fascial constrictions.
Pain is localized and often unremitting. There is associated focal point tenderness and pain when touching a trigger point. In addition to the pain, a patient may experience a hardening and resulting weakening of the muscle as well as a limited range of motion following a few seconds of sustained trigger point pressure.
The pain occurs in distinct, isolated body areas and may cause various localized symptoms. The pain is often described as steady, aching, and deep, ranging from mild discomfort to severe pain. There may be knots under the skin. Often, pain does not go away on its own and may need treatment from a physician.
