Have you ever pressed a tight spot and felt pain somewhere completely different? That's an example of referred pain, which can occur when certain muscles develop trigger points.
At Middle Path Acupuncture, trigger point therapy in San Francisco focuses on identifying and releasing areas of muscular tension that may contribute to these pain patterns. Understanding the relationship between the source and the location of discomfort can help guide more targeted care.
