The Problem
While back and neck pains are the most common problems faced by our patients, there are a plethora of cases where the actual reason is the Myofascial pain. It is a chronic pain disorder and an underlying condition that can affect a number of skeletal muscles in or body and cause musculoskeletal pain in various parts such as back, shoulder, and neck.
The problem is so common that a latest survey reveals it as the root cause behind 93 percent of regional pain in joints and muscles. The patients feel pain in muscles and joints, and might also have difficulty in using those muscles properly. For instance, many patients are unable to hold things for longer periods and develop a tendency to drop things.
The Causes
While Myofascial pain is the underlying cause of several different types of pain, it is not something that develops without a reason. It can be caused by a number of reasons and at My Pain Clinic, we focus on finding your specific ones in order to provide a more personalized and effective treatment plan. Here are some of the most commonly diagnosed reasons behind this chronic condition.
- Abnormal muscle stress
- Skeletal asymmetry
- Leg-length discrepancy of shortened muscle
- Poor posture
- Anemia
- Depression
- Sleep deprivation
- Other conditions such as infections or hypothyroidism, etc
Low levels of nutrients such as iron, potassium, calcium, or Vitamin C, B1, B6, B12 are also associated with the pain. At My Pain Clinic, we conduct a comprehensive diagnosis to find out the main trigger behind your pain.
