You’re feeling pain – something sharp or chronic. Maybe it keeps you up at night, or it stops you from doing the things you used to love to do. Maybe you’ve seen multiple healthcare providers, had various tests and treatments, perhaps even surgery or a joint replacement, but your pain persists. Chances are you have developed Myofascial Trigger Points (TrP), a remarkably common, overlooked cause of acute and chronic pain. If so, the solution is rather simple, a treatment technique developed by Dr. Mahooti called Therapeutic Needling that incorporates the benefits of Dry Needling, Trigger Point Injection, and Acupuncture.
Myofascial Pain Relief
Myofascial pain is experienced by essentially everyone at some point in their life. When you use a muscle, it contracts and relaxes thousands of times a day. Myofascial pain is a condition whereby muscle fibers, known as myofibrils, contract and form hyperirritable “knots” known as a Myofascial Trigger Points. Almost everyone has experienced “knots” in the neck and upper back, but you’ve probably also noticed knots in other parts of your body — shoulder, arms, back and legs. All skeletal muscles are susceptible, and TrPs can occur anywhere in the body, and cause a variety of symptoms that frustrate the sufferer and the healthcare provider. The pain and tightness they cause can be mild and intermittent, or severe and excruciating, leading sufferers to visit the emergency department or other healthcare provider.
Holistic and Minimally Invasive Approach
At our office we provide an individualized assessment to develop a holistic perspective on what might be causing you pain. Dr. Mahooti’s in-depth understanding of related anatomy, physiology, and orthopedic sports medicine have allowed him to develop a comprehensive approach to addressing pain. The most important part of determining the cause of your pain is to listen to your story of how it developed, to understand what treatments you’ve already undergone and to conduct a detailed physical examination. When helpful, Dr. Mahooti will perform a diagnostic ultrasound scan during your appointment, or pursue other tests or imaging when necessary.
Dr. Mahooti’s approach is entirely non-surgical. He will use Musculoskeletal Ultrasound for diagnostic and needle-guidance purposes. He performs a wide variety of minimally invasive interventions such as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), cortisone, tenotomies, and nerve hydrodissections, among others.
If you have been to numerous healthcare providers and no one can figure out what’s causing your pain, chances are it is a trigger point — and I can help you.
