Mapping of Trigger Points

Please be very aware that this information is neither intended nor implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice. CALL YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER IMMEDIATELY IF YOU THINK YOU MAY HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider before starting any new treatment or with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Severe headaches should be considered very seriously, and could be a symptom of a life threatening medical problem such as an aneurysm or tumor. For these reasons, you should always speak to a physician when suffering from a severe headache, especially if they are occurring frequently.

Identification of pain causing trigger points is best understood by viewing the images below. The locations of primary pain are represented by a solid red color, whereas secondary pain (pain can progress to these areas from the primary pain source) is dotted red in colour. For each image shown below, one or more locations marked with an "X" pinpoints the Central Trigger Point responsible for this pain.

Trigger Points in the Trapezius Muscle

The trapezius muscle is probably the muscle most often beset by myofascial (head, face area) trigger points, and is a frequently overlooked source of temporal (temple) and cervicogenic (spine based) headache. Trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle characteristically refer pain and tenderness along the upper back of the neck, behind the ear and to the temple. The best part about these trigger points is that they are easily and effectively treated with Ultrasound Therapy.

Upper Trapezius Trigger Point (TP1)

Upper Trapezius Trigger Point (TP2),
Mid Trapezius Trigger Point (TP3)

Trigger Point TP1 located in the upper trapezius muscle (see above left image) will consistently refer pain above the trigger point into the neck - this is a major source of "tension neckache". As the pain intensifies, it will extend to the side of head, centering around the temple and behind the eye. On occasion, pain will also flare up in the angle of the jaw. When referred pain from this trigger point is combined with other myofascial trigger points, this almost always results in extreme tension headaches. Trigger Point TP2 located in the upper trapezius muscle between neck and shoulder (see above left image) will refer pain into the upper back of the neck at the base of the skull.

MendMeShop Therapeutic Ultrasound is a fantastic method for trigger point release in both of these problem areas, effectively elminating headache pain caused by these problem points. When Therapeutic Ultrasound is applied over these trigger points, the ultrasonic vibration gently massages the area, bringing in blood flow (flushing lactic acid and toxins) and gently massaging the tensed muscle tissue, creating a term known by doctors as "trigger point release". Once a sensitive trigger point is released, the referred pain quickly subsides and once all sensitive trigger points are released, your headache / neckache / back pain is gone!

Trigger Points in the Sternal & Clavicular Parts of the Sternocleidomastoid Muscle

Ok, you don't have to pronounce this muscle name - the important part is to know that two main parts of this muscle create a lot of headaches for a huge number of people! If your headache pain is located around the outlined areas in red on the diagrams below, you need to treat these trigger points (X marks the spot!) with Therapeutic Ultrasound. After a couple treatments, your headaches will fade. Once these trigger points are released, just treat them occasionally to reduce the recurrence of chronic headache pain.

Stiff Neck Syndromes

Millions of people are using therapeutic ultrasound today, spanning from arthritic sufferers to athletes with a pulled hamstring. The reality is that MendMeShop Therapeutic Ultrasound treats many problems relating to atrophied muscles and tendons, even frozen joints (common in arthritis sufferers due to lack of use).

A stiff neck is a common problem, caused by any number of factors such as whiplash, poor sleeping posture, improper load carrying (ie. purse), cradling a phone between shoulder and neck or even due to repetitive motion activities. Treat the muscles on the back of your neck with Therapeutic Ultrasound and feel the difference! Ultrasound increases flexibility in muscles through massage, bloodflow stimulation, heat and phonophoresis - the absorption of medical compounds deep into the skin through ultrasound waves. Our thousands of happy customers are NOT wrong - MendMeShop Therapeutic Ultrasound will work for you or your money back no questions asked! We guarantee it!
