What is Myofascial Pain Syndrome?

Myofascial Pain Syndrome is a disorder in which pressure on sensitive points in the muscles, called trigger points, causes pain in seemingly unrelated body parts. These trigger points are tight muscle fibers that form in your muscles after injuries or overuse, and when in a muscle can cause strain and pain. As this discomfort, strains, and pains increase and start changing from acute to chronic, doctors begin diagnosing this as Myofascial Pain Syndrome.
