What are Motor Points & Trigger Points?

Trigger Point Release in Brooklyn

Motor points and trigger points are interconnected components of the musculoskeletal system. Trigger points are hypersensitive areas within the muscle fibers that can develop due to a variety of factors such as muscle overuse, trauma, stress, or poor posture. They can cause localized pain, muscle tightness, and restricted range of motion. Motor points, on the other hand, are specific locations where motor nerve fibers enter the muscle tissue. These points are targeted in certain therapeutic approaches, including facial acupuncture, to stimulate facial motor points and enhance their function.

How Do Trigger Points and Motor Points Release Work?

Trigger point therapy focuses on identifying and applying targeted pressure to the trigger points, which helps alleviate pain, restore normal muscle function, and promote overall well-being. By applying pressure or using other therapeutic techniques such as dry needling, manual therapy, or stretching, the practitioner can effectively release the tension and tightness associated with trigger points. This allows the muscle fibers to relax, increases blood flow to the area, and promotes the healing process.

Motor points, when stimulated through therapeutic techniques like acupuncture, can activate specific muscles, improve their strength, and restore proper muscle coordination. By targeting motor points, practitioners can help individuals regain normal muscle function and improve their overall physical performance.

The Benefits of Trigger Point Release at Pulse Acupuncture

Trigger point pressure release therapy offers numerous benefits for individuals experiencing muscle pain and dysfunction. By releasing trigger points, this therapy helps reduce muscle tension, improve flexibility, and restore optimal muscle balance. It is particularly effective in addressing various musculoskeletal conditions, including tension headaches, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, fibromyalgia, sports-related injuries, and myofascial pain syndrome.

In addition to pain relief, trigger point release therapy enhances blood circulation and lymphatic flow. Improved circulation helps deliver oxygen and essential nutrients to the muscles, facilitating tissue healing and repair. By increasing lymphatic flow, this therapy also aids in the removal of metabolic waste products from the muscles, further promoting the healing process.

Trigger point release therapy can be utilized as a standalone treatment or as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation plan. It not only addresses the immediate pain and discomfort, but also helps identify and correct underlying imbalances in the musculoskeletal system, providing long-term relief and improved overall physical function.

Dear Dr.Marina Doktorman,I hope this message finds you well! I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible impact your acupuncture sessions have had on my life. Your expertise and care have helped me find relief and healing in ways I never thought possible.When I first sought acupuncture, I was struggling with a combination of issues that affected my overall well-being. Chronic back pain was causing constant discomfort, and my restless nights were dominated by persistent night sweats. Additionally, I was battling frustrating skin issues that seemed to resist all other forms of treatment.From the very first session, I knew I was in good hands. Your thorough understanding of my concerns and willingness to explain the acupuncture process put me at ease. The ambiance of your clinic created a serene and comforting space, setting the tone for a transformative healing journey.What amazed me most was the efficacy of acupuncture in addressing my various health challenges. The impact on my sleep was nothing short of miraculous. After a few sessions, I began experiencing deep, uninterrupted sleep, waking up refreshed and energized—a change I had been longing for, but never found through other methods.Furthermore, the improvement in my skin condition was remarkable. Acupuncture seemed to trigger a healing response, and gradually, my skin issues started to fade away. I couldn't believe the visible transformation, and it did wonders for my self-confidence.As for the night sweats and back pain, they became less frequent and intense with each session. Your targeted approach and skillful needle placement directly addressed the root causes of my discomfort, providing much-needed relief and easing the burdens I had carried for far too long.I cannot stress enough how appreciative I am for the positive impact you've had on my life. Your dedication to helping your patients achieve better health and well-being is truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone seeking holistic and effective solutions to their health issues.Once again, thank you for your expertise, kindness, and genuine care. You have not only been my acupuncturist but also a catalyst for transformative change in my life. I am forever grateful for the healing journey we embarked on together.Thank you Dr. Marina Doktorman! Special shoutout to Olga for being so welcoming!

I was a patient of Marina Doktorma for about two weeks (October/November 2020), receiving acupuncture treatments for lower back and knee pain. Marina is a true professional. Before beginning each treatment, she explained the treatment options and made sure that I was well informed and comfortable before beginning. She was very gentle as she administered the treatments, (I feel asleep a few times) communicating with me throughout the process. In addition to the premise being very clean, relaxing music made for a very calming experience. Without hesitation, I would return for future treatments if the pain returns. Kenny.

Trigger Point Release in Brooklyn, NY - FAQ

Trigger Point Therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on detecting and releasing trigger points. Located in the skeletal muscle, trigger points are spots that produce pain when compressed. They can create pain patterns throughout the body.
Both therapies can help to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve mobility. By addressing both trigger points and motor points, your therapist can address both localized areas of tension and improve overall muscle function.
Trigger Point Therapy can treat a variety of conditions, including chronic and acute muscular pain, tension headaches, neck and jaw pain, lower back pain, symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, and even conditions like fibromyalgia and sciatica.
Typically, a session involving both Trigger Point and Motor Point Release lasts about 60-90 minutes. However, the exact duration may vary depending on your individual needs and the number of points that need to be addressed.
Our clinic in Williamsburg, Brooklyn offers professional trigger point and motor point release therapy. Contact us to schedule an appointment or for more information about our services.
