Back Pain in Mason, OH, Lawrenceburg, IN, & Hebron, KY

Back pains and injuries can easily become a part of everyday life. They have a tendency to bring about sharp pains, dull aches, numbness, tingling, and sometimes they might even cause a sort of burning feeling. It's not uncommon for a person to also claim that they feel some pain, weakness or tingling in the pelvic region or upper leg. This is a condition that is known as sciatica.

Although the back may incur many injuries over time, it's very good at recovering. Small pains and injuries incurred through daily activity will often heal in up to two days. However the back pain that worries us most is the one that seems to last much longer. It's important that you address your back pains with the medical team here at Elite Physical Medicine. If you're thinking of holding off, think again. Back pains are among the most common reasons for doctor visits. Even the simple fact that you walk on two feet creates a lot of pressure on your spine which adds to the daily wear and tear. Compound that with an injury or heavy impact of some kind and now you're looking at something that could potentially be serious.

Trigger Point Injections

A "Trigger Point" is an area of scar tissue that has been laid down in your muscle fibers. When a person has been using Phasic Muscles, Muscles of movement, to hold posture instead of using the proper Postural Muscles, extreme fatigue results. Those Phasic Muscles are meant to be used for short periods of time. When a person has developed poor posture, the Phasic muscles start to covert themselves into Postural Muscles. This is when a muscle starts to get hard or develop muscle knots. These muscles knots are actually scar tissue that has been laid in by the body in an effort to covert a Phasic Muscle to a Postural Muscle. The correct term for these muscle knots are Trigger Points. According to Rene Calle M.D., the pioneer of Trigger Point Injections, the worse thing you can do for a patient is to leave them with a Trigger Point. By injecting the Trigger Point with 1-2% lidocaine and 98-99% saline in a star pattern, you increase blood flow to the Trigger Point. This allows your body to flush out the scar tissue naturally through the blood stream. The result is a patient that will progress better through Physical Therapy and Chiropractic and will have more lasting results as their scar tissue isn't constantly holding there soft tissue, bones, and posture out of alignment.
