The Syndrome is called Myofascial, since the pain is focused on the muscles and the fascia, a thin cloth of soft connective tissue that surrounds the muscles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pain is mainly located in a specific area, e.g. you may only feel the pain in your shoulder or in your jaw.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This pain always has two main trigger points.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the diagnosis, the specialist will apply pressure to find these two different types of trigger points:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the dead point, an inactive area that triggers pain at another point.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the active point, which is particularly sensitive to pain, local or peripheral.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Travell, during the 1940s and 1950s, conducted research, the results of which she published in a textbook on myofascial pain, which she defined as a \u201ctrigger point.\u201d This trigger point is a sensitive area within the muscle that, if irritated, through inflammation, it can cause pain, which the patient, however, feels in some other place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This observation makes sense if you think about it, since if you are sore in a certain muscle or group of muscles, it is natural to try not to use that muscle or group of muscles too much, and as a result you end up over-straining another muscle or another muscle group.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because there is no specific imaging test for the diagnosis of Myofascial Syndrome, its diagnosis requires the required experience and knowledge on the part of the specialist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is established by locating the aforementioned sensitive points within the muscle, during palpation of the patient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The doctor, in addition to the patient&#8217;s history, will check his body posture, as well as the way he walks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Alternative names<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Until the term Myofascial Pain Syndrome prevailed today, many different names have been used in the past to describe the same clinical problem, such as: fibromyitis, fibromyositis, myoperitonitis, soft tissue rheumatism, rheumatic myalgia, idiopathic myalgia, myofascial pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Myofascial Syndrome &amp;
