Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy is a focused, non-invasive treatment designed to relieve muscle pain caused by myofascial trigger points—tight, irritable knots within muscle tissue that restrict movement and cause localized or radiating discomfort. At Urban Chiropractic in Jersey City, this therapy is used to restore muscle function, reduce pain, and improve mobility without medication or aggressive manipulation.
Our chiropractors are trained to identify and treat trigger points using controlled pressure, stretching, and movement-based techniques. Rather than masking symptoms, Trigger Point Therapy addresses the underlying muscular dysfunction, helping patients achieve longer-lasting relief and better overall performance in daily life.

Release muscle tension at the source with trigger point therapy
Trigger points in the upper trapezius and shoulder muscles often cause stiffness, headaches, and radiating arm pain. Targeted pressure and stretching help release tight fibers and restore comfortable movement.
Muscle knots in the lumbar and gluteal regions can mimic disc or nerve pain. Trigger Point Therapy reduces muscular tension, improves circulation, and supports spinal stability.
Trigger points in the neck and jaw muscles frequently contribute to tension headaches and TMJ discomfort. Gentle compression helps reduce referred pain and muscle strain.
Repetitive movement can create chronic muscle tightness. Trigger Point Therapy helps athletes recover faster by improving flexibility and reducing muscular stress.
