Myofascial Painin multiple locations in Wisconsin, with an additional location in Western Pennsylvania.
Living with chronic, deep muscle pain can be overwhelming. But here’s the good news: It doesn’t have to be this way.
If you feel a consistent pain in your muscles, you may have myofascial pain. The slick covering over your muscles is called fascia and has a lot of nerve sensors in it. When we are weak, are not moving regularly, not eating well, not sleeping well, or not managing stress well, our body will try to protect us the best way it knows how. One way is to increase muscle tension in a body region it is trying to protect. This puts more strain on the muscle fibers and the fascia which covers them, resulting in sensations of pain in the muscles.
The good news is with the right combination of care by a physical therapist, pain relief and increased mobility are possible! If you’re struggling with any of these symptoms, our therapists may be able to help:
