Living with chronic muscle pain can be incredibly debilitating, impacting your ability to work, move, and fully enjoy life. Traditional pain relief methods like medications or passive treatments often provide only temporary relief, leaving the underlying cause of discomfort unaddressed. At DFW Back to Health, we specialize in Trigger Point Therapy (TPT)—a precise, non-invasive technique focused on identifying and releasing tight, painful muscle knots known as trigger points.
Trigger points are small, hyperirritable spots that form within muscle fibers due to factors such as stress, injury, repetitive movements, or poor posture. These knots can cause localized pain or refer discomfort to other areas of the body, making it difficult to pinpoint the true source of pain. Our experienced therapists utilize a combination of manual pressure, dry needling, specialized massage, and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization to break up these knots, increase blood flow, and encourage the body’s natural healing process.
Unlike treatments that simply mask symptoms, Trigger Point Therapy targets the root cause of pain, leading to long-lasting relief and improved muscle function. Patients often experience restored muscle elasticity, enhanced range of motion, and reduced muscle tension after treatment. This comprehensive approach not only eases pain but also supports better posture, improved mobility, and overall body performance.
Whether you’re dealing with chronic back pain, tension headaches, repetitive strain injuries, or sports-related discomfort, DFW Back to Health offers personalized care tailored to your needs. Our goal is to help you move freely and feel your best again—naturally and effectively.
Trigger points are hyperirritable spots found within tight bands of muscle fibers, often described as “knots” in the muscle. These areas are sensitive and can cause localized pain, tenderness, and stiffness. What makes trigger points particularly challenging is their ability to refer pain to other parts of the body, meaning the source of discomfort might not be where you actually feel it. For example, a trigger point in the shoulder can cause pain that radiates down the arm or into the neck.
Several factors contribute to the development of trigger points, making them a common issue among people of all ages and lifestyles:
Muscle Overuse: occurs when repetitive movements or holding the same posture for long periods place continuous strain on muscles, leading to the development of trigger points—tight, painful knots within muscle fibers. This condition is common among athletes who engage in repetitive training, office workers who sit at desks for hours without proper ergonomics, and manual laborers performing physically demanding tasks. Over time, these trigger points cause localized pain and stiffness, limiting mobility and increasing discomfort. Recognizing and addressing muscle overuse early is essential to prevent chronic pain and improve overall muscle health and function.
Stress: Emotional and psychological stress often causes muscle tension, particularly in areas like the neck, shoulders, and back. Chronic tension can contribute to persistent trigger points.
Poor Posture: When the body is misaligned—due to slouching, improper ergonomics, or structural imbalances—certain muscles are overworked to compensate. This can cause tight bands of muscle fibers to develop trigger points.
Recognizing and addressing trigger points is essential for long-term pain relief and improved mobility. Left untreated, they can cause chronic discomfort, reduce range of motion, and affect overall quality of life. At DFW Back to Health, specialized therapies are designed to locate and release these painful knots, promoting natural healing and restoring proper muscle function.What is Trigger Point Therapy?
Trigger Point Therapy involves applying precise pressure to these sensitive areas to release tension and promote healing. Techniques employed at DFW Back to Health include:
Our holistic approach ensures that each session is tailored to the individual’s needs, promoting effective and lasting results.
Trigger Point Therapy (TPT) at DFW Back to Health provides patients with a holistic approach to relieving muscle pain and improving overall physical function. By focusing directly on the tight knots within muscles, TPT addresses the root cause rather than just masking symptoms, offering lasting relief and improved quality of life.
One of the most immediate benefits patients notice is pain reduction. Chronic muscle pain and tension are alleviated as trigger points are released, which often leads to fewer pain flare-ups and a greater sense of comfort throughout daily activities. Along with pain relief, many patients experience improved mobility—increased flexibility and a broader range of motion that allows for more natural, pain-free movement.
TPT also helps with posture correction by addressing muscular imbalances that contribute to slouching or misalignment. This not only reduces strain on muscles but also supports long-term spinal health. Additionally, by releasing tension, patients often feel a significant level of stress relief, as tight muscles connected to emotional and physical stress begin to relax.
For athletes and active individuals, TPT enhances athletic performance by improving muscle function and speeding recovery times, helping prevent future injuries. Importantly, all these benefits come from a natural, non-invasive treatment, reducing the need for medications or invasive procedures.
Whether you suffer from chronic pain or want to optimize your body’s function, TPT at DFW Back to Health offers a sustainable, effective path to wellness.
At DFW Back to Health, we take a comprehensive approach to healing that goes beyond isolated treatments. Trigger Point Therapy (TPT) is a key part of our integrative model, but it is most effective when combined with other complementary therapies designed to support the body’s natural healing processes.
Our chiropractic care focuses on spinal alignment, which helps reduce nerve irritation and improve overall musculoskeletal function. This alignment supports the effectiveness of TPT by addressing underlying structural imbalances.
Physical rehabilitation plays a vital role in strengthening muscles and improving flexibility to prevent the recurrence of trigger points. Through personalized exercise plans, patients regain lasting mobility and resilience.
We also incorporate regenerative medicine techniques that stimulate the body’s repair mechanisms, promoting faster tissue healing and reducing inflammation.
Massage therapy is another valuable complement, enhancing relaxation, improving circulation, and helping to maintain muscle health between TPT sessions.
By integrating these treatments, DFW Back to Health ensures patients receive well-rounded, personalized care that addresses not only pain but also the root causes and overall wellness. This holistic approach maximizes recovery and supports long-term health.

Q: How many sessions will I need?
The number of Trigger Point Therapy (TPT) sessions needed varies widely depending on several factors including the severity and duration of your muscle pain, your overall health, and how your body responds to treatment. For acute or recent muscle tension, some patients experience noticeable relief after just a few sessions—sometimes even after the first treatment. However, chronic muscle issues or longstanding trigger points often require a more extended treatment plan. Typically, patients undergo between 4 to 8 sessions to achieve lasting improvements in pain and mobility. During your initial consultation at DFW Back to Health, our specialists will assess your condition thoroughly and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. Progress is closely monitored throughout the course of therapy, and adjustments are made to ensure optimal outcomes.
Q: Is Trigger Point Therapy painful?
Many patients wonder if TPT is painful, and the answer varies depending on individual sensitivity and the tightness of the affected muscles. During treatment, you may experience some discomfort or pressure as the therapist applies direct techniques to release the tight knots, often described as a “good pain.” This sensation is generally tolerable and temporary, signaling that the muscle is being properly targeted. The therapy pressure is carefully controlled and adjusted according to your feedback, so you remain comfortable throughout the session. Some soreness or mild muscle tenderness after treatment is common but typically resolves within 24 hours. Most patients report that the relief and improved mobility they experience far outweigh any temporary discomfort during or after therapy.
Q: Can Trigger Point Therapy be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely! One of the strengths of Trigger Point Therapy is how well it integrates with other treatment modalities. At DFW Back to Health, we often combine TPT with chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal alignment, physical therapy exercises to strengthen supporting muscles, massage therapy to enhance circulation and relaxation, and rehabilitation protocols to prevent recurrence. This comprehensive approach addresses not only the trigger points themselves but also the biomechanical and lifestyle factors contributing to muscle pain. The result is faster healing, improved function, and longer-lasting relief. If you are already receiving other forms of treatment, our team can seamlessly coordinate TPT to complement your current care plan.
Q: Is Trigger Point Therapy safe for everyone?
Trigger Point Therapy is generally safe for most people when administered by trained professionals. However, as with any medical treatment, there are certain health conditions that warrant caution or modifications. Individuals with bleeding disorders, infections, recent surgery, or certain chronic illnesses should have a thorough evaluation before starting TPT. Our experienced clinicians at DFW Back to Health take a detailed medical history and perform an examination to determine whether TPT is appropriate for you or if an alternative therapy would be safer. Patient safety and comfort are our top priorities, and we customize treatment protocols to minimize risks.
