Symptoms
Symptoms of myofascial syndrome:
1. Trigger point.
2. Areas of referred pain.
3. Muscle weakness.
4. Vegetative manifestations.
Reflected pain zones - pain caused by trigger points does not occur where it is located, but at a distance from it, because. the trigger point is active in one place, but causes pain in a completely different place. The trigger point weakens the muscles and reduces muscle contractility. Bending over from back pain, the patient has an external manifestation of shortening of the muscles caused by trigger points. Trigger point - shortens the muscle and causes the patient to bend over in pain.
Causes of pain
The most common cause of back pain is not the displacement of the vertebrae, but muscle spasms or cramps of individual fibers in the muscles of the back, neck and lower back. Amongst the main causes of muscle pain are:
