Acupuncture. Practical Guide to Functional Development of More Than 400 Trigger Points

Trigger points are areas of muscle tension or incorrect tension of the fascial tissue. They can hurt on their own or cause discomfort in other parts of the body that are indirectly related. Working with places of such tightness — special pressure techniques on inflamed areas — allows for increased blood circulation in the area, restores tissue oxygen saturation, and relieves excessive tension that has arisen. Acupuncture effects allow for: - treating any type of muscle and fascial pain; - restoring disrupted sleep, relieving stress; - addressing digestive issues and bowel problems; - activating the body's immune defense; - working with trigeminal neuralgia.
