Myofascial Pain Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms & Effective Treatment
What is Myofascial Pain Syndrome?
Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) is a chronic pain condition that affects the muscles and surrounding connective tissues. It occurs when sensitive trigger points develop within the muscle fibers, leading to persistent pain and discomfort. Unlike general muscle soreness, MPS can cause referred pain, meaning the pain is felt in areas away from the actual trigger point.
Causes of Myofascial Pain Syndrome
- Muscle Overuse or Injury: Repetitive movements or muscle strain can lead to the formation of trigger points.
- Poor Posture: Sitting or standing in an improper position for long periods can increase muscle tension
- Stress & Anxiety: Emotional stress often causes muscle tightness, leading to trigger point activation.
- Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients such as Vitamin D and magnesium can contribute to muscle dysfunction.
- Medical Conditions: Underlying conditions like fibromyalgia or metabolic disorders can increase the risk of MPS.
- Fractures & Dislocations – Injury-related conditions affecting movement and stability.
Symptoms of Myofascial Pain Syndrome
- Persistent, Deep Muscle Pain: Usually localized but may radiate to other areas.
- Tender Trigger Points: Painful knots in muscles that worsen with pressure.
- Limited Range of Motion: Stiffness and reduced flexibility in affected muscles.
- Muscle Weakness: Affected muscles may feel fatigued or weak over time.
- Muscle Weakness: Affected muscles may feel fatigued or weak over time.
