Trigger Point Therapy

    For Patients

    Relieve Muscle Pain with Trigger Point Therapy

    Trigger points are tight knots that form within muscle tissue, often causing pain, stiffness, and limited movement. At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of San Fernando Valley, we specialize in advanced trigger point therapy to release muscle tension and restore comfort. These trigger points commonly occur in the jaw, neck, and shoulders—especially in patients suffering from TMJ disorder or chronic headaches.

    Our personalized approach identifies the underlying muscular imbalances contributing to your pain. By gently releasing these tension points, we help improve circulation, relieve pressure, and promote natural healing throughout the affected areas.

    Understanding TMJ Trigger Points and Their Impact

    How TMJ Trigger Points Cause Pain

    When the muscles that support the jaw become overworked or imbalanced, they can form painful knots known as TMJ trigger points. These points can radiate discomfort to the temples, ears, and even the neck and shoulders. Many patients with myofascial trigger points TMJ experience symptoms like jaw tension, headaches, and facial soreness that worsen with stress or overuse.

    Addressing these trigger points through precise therapeutic techniques can help restore normal jaw function and relieve muscle-related facial pain. Our clinicians use gentle manipulation and targeted pressure to release tension and improve flexibility in the jaw and surrounding muscles.
