Doctors’ Answers to “Frequently Asked Questions” – Trigger Points

These comments are made for the purpose of discussion and should NOT be used as recommendations for or against therapies or other treatments. An individual patient is always advised to consult their own physician.

Trigger Points

Question: Is there treatment other than Steroids or local infiltration?

Answer: Japanese point massage is sometimes helpful. Acupuncture is also helpful, but the needles need to be done over the exact spot of the trigger point – not traditional acupuncture sites. Generalized massage therapy is also helpful.
