Myofascial pain is a syndrome in which the muscles experience pain due to inflammation in the body’s soft tissues. Myofascial pain is a chronic condition that affects the connective tissues that cover the muscles inside a person’s body, and it may involve on specific muscle or an entire muscle group. Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of this syndrome is that in many cases the area where pain is felt is not where the myofascial pain generator is located. It takes specific diagnosis and treatments to find the actual site of an injury that prompts the development of the pain. At Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians, we are an orthopedic, spine and sports medicine practice that specializes in finding solutions to complex chronic and acute pain conditions like Myofascial Pain Syndrome.
