As a leading pain management company based in Oklahoma, Pain Management of Oklahoma is committed to providing comprehensive care and support for individuals living with various pain conditions, including Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS). MPS is a chronic pain disorder characterized by localized muscle pain and tenderness, often accompanied by muscle stiffness and limited range of motion. Understanding the underlying causes and treatment options for MPS is essential for effectively managing this condition and improving quality of life.

 

Myofascial Pain Syndrome occurs when muscle fibers become tight and contracted, leading to the formation of trigger points—small, highly irritable nodules within the muscle tissue. These trigger points can cause referred pain, meaning the pain is felt in areas distant from the actual trigger point. Common causes of MPS include muscle overuse, poor posture, repetitive motions, and muscle injuries. Additionally, stress and emotional factors can contribute to the development and exacerbation of MPS symptoms.

 

At Pain Management of Oklahoma, we take a multidisciplinary approach to managing Myofascial Pain Syndrome, addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of the condition. Our team of pain management specialists includes physicians, physical therapists, and mental health professionals who work collaboratively to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

 

Treatment for Myofascial Pain Syndrome typically involves a combination of therapies aimed at relieving muscle tension, reducing pain, and restoring mobility. This may include trigger point injections, which involve injecting a local anesthetic or medication directly into the trigger points to alleviate pain and promote muscle relaxation. Physical therapy techniques, such as stretching exercises, massage therapy, and myofascial release, can also help to release tight muscles and improve flexibility.

 

Stress management techniques, relaxation exercises, and cognitive-behavioral therapy can be valuable tools in managing the emotional aspects of Myofascial Pain Syndrome and improving overall well-being.
