Conditions

Myofascial pain refers to pain and inflammation in the muscles and soft tissues of the body.

This is a chronic pain that can exist either at the site of the original injury or as a “referred” pain elsewhere within the patient’s muscles because the condition affects the fascia, which is the connective tissue that covers the muscles themselves.

This referred pain is caused by the development of a trigger point at the original site of injury, which then causes pain elsewhere.

This disorder can develop due to chronic poor posture, and poor exercise technique which leads to injury to the muscle fibers, repetitive motions, and lack of activity due to a prior injury like a broken bone.

Trauma refers to severe and body-altering physical injury or wound that can have debilitating effects on physical or psychological health.

It is classified by the affected body area: head injury, spinal cord injury, or chest trauma.

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) affects the joints of the jaw bones on either side of the face, and/or nearby structures, including cartilage, adjacent connective tissue, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels, teeth, and muscles of the face and neck.
