What is trigger point therapy?

Trigger point therapy is a manual treatment aimed at alleviating muscle knots, referred to as “trigger points,” which can lead to pain and dysfunction in the jaw, face, and neck areas. At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Kansas City, we implement this therapy to ease tension in muscles that play a role in TMJ disorders and sleep disturbances. By diminishing tension and reinstating natural movement, trigger point therapy provides effective relief without the need for surgical intervention or medication.
