TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Trigger Points and Pain Patterns A1 - Starkey, Chad PY - 2013 T2 - Therapeutic Modalities, 4e AB - "Trigger points" are small areas of localized sensitivity and pain found in muscles and connective tissue.1 They may be produced by acute trauma, chronic inflammation, or ischema, or they may be developed as a result of stress from daily activities or postural habits. Although the pain and sensitivity are localized, reports in the literature suggest that the discomfort may be referred to other parts of the body ("referred pain") through the autonomic nervous system.
