Trigger points are small, tight knots that develop in muscle tissue and can cause pain when activated. Trigger Point Therapy applies pressure to these trigger points, breaking up adhesions in the muscles and releasing tension which helps promote healing and relaxation.
Trigger point therapy is a type of massage therapy that focuses on the treatment of trigger points, which are areas of tightness and tension in the muscle tissue. These trigger points can cause pain and discomfort in other parts of the body and may be caused by a variety of factors, including muscle strain, repetitive use, or injury. During a trigger point therapy session, the therapist will apply pressure to the trigger points using their fingers, palms, or elbows in order to release the tension and reduce pain. The therapist may also stretch the muscle and use other techniques to improve mobility and reduce discomfort. Trigger point therapy is often used in conjunction with other massage techniques and may be effective in relieving chronic pain and improving overall muscle function.
What is a “Trigger Point”?
A trigger point is a small, tender area within a muscle that can cause pain in other parts of the body. These points are often referred to as “knots” because they can feel like small, hard lumps in the muscle tissue. Trigger points can be caused by a variety of factors, including muscle strain, repetitive use, or injury. They can also be the result of emotional stress or poor posture. When a trigger point is present, it can cause discomfort or pain in the area directly surrounding the trigger point, as well as in other areas of the body. For example, a trigger point in the upper back might cause pain in the neck or shoulders. Trigger points can be sensitive to the touch and may cause discomfort or pain when pressure is applied to them.
What does Trigger Point Therapy Treat?
Here are some common reasons why someone might consider seeking trigger point therapy:
Chronic muscle pain: Trigger point therapy can be effective in relieving chronic muscle pain caused by trigger points.
Poor posture: Poor posture can cause trigger points to form, and trigger point therapy can help to relieve the resulting muscle tension and discomfort.
Repetitive use injuries: People who perform the same movements repeatedly, such as athletes or those who work in physically demanding jobs, may develop trigger points due to the strain on their muscles. Trigger point therapy can help to reduce pain and improve muscle function.
Stress or tension: Emotional stress and tension can cause muscle tension, leading to the formation of trigger points. Trigger point therapy can help to release this tension and reduce discomfort.
Headaches: Some research suggests that trigger point therapy may be effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of headaches, including migraines.
Fibromyalgia: Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition that is often characterized by the presence of trigger points in the muscles. Trigger point therapy may be helpful in relieving pain and improving overall muscle function in people with fibromyalgia.
What to Expect During a Trigger Point Therapy Session
The length of a trigger point therapy session can vary depending on the specific needs and goals of the individual receiving treatment. In general, our trigger point therapy sessions at Valley Wellness & Chiropractic may last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. During this time, the therapist will work to identify and treat trigger points in the muscle tissue. This may involve applying pressure to the trigger points using their fingers, palms, or elbows, as well as stretching the muscle and using other techniques to improve mobility and reduce discomfort.
Some people may need more than one trigger point therapy session in order to achieve the desired results, while others may see improvement after just one session. It is important to discuss your specific needs and goals with your therapist in order to determine the appropriate length of treatment.

Friendly Staff and Dr. Padgett is so good, he
cares and he explains very good. I was so
impress and I will refer all my family and friends to this office. My shoulder and
left leg feel so much better after this first visit. I cant wait to go back Tuesday.
I went to Dr. Padgett for relief and he helped me understand what was going on. He takes Xrays on your first visit and then he reviews them and explains them your next visit. Shannon and Lexi were the sweetest with me and my daughter. They answered every question and explained everything that was going on. Letting me know how things work and what to expect. I truly recommend this office.
I have been going to Valley Chiropractic and Dr. Padgett for about 2 weeks now and I am very impressed with the results so far. The staff is super friendly and nice. They make you feel so welcomed. I would highly recommend Valley Chiropractic to anyone who is looking for a chiropractor. 10 out of 5 Stars!!!!
Dr Padgett and his staff are awesome. They really listened to my problem and treated me accordingly. No cookie cutter treatment here. Every one is treated special.<br>Thank you all.
This was my first visit, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The office gives luxury vibes, yet still feels warm and welcoming—one of those places that makes you forget you’re in a small town the moment you walk in. The staff isn’t just professional; they’re genuinely friendly and personable, and they truly live out their motto through their interactions. I’ve never received local care that followed up after a visit just to check on me, and that alone meant a lot. The technology is impressive, the service is welcoming, and the care is truly top tier.<br><br>But of course, this is a chiropractic office—so let’s talk results. I was in an accident ten years ago and, due to pregnancy at the time, I wasn’t able to receive much treatment because of potential risks to my baby (who is healthy and unharmed 🙏🏾). The front and rear impacts shifted my pelvis, leaving one hip higher than the other. Walking or standing for long periods has been painful, and I’ve also dealt with ongoing neck and shoulder pain, headaches, and insomnia as a result.<br><br>After just one visit, I feel a noticeable difference in all my problem areas. Even more surprising, I feel deeply relaxed—and for the first time in months, I’m actually heading to bed at 8 p.m. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to fall asleep before 1 a.m., so this is huge for me.<br><br>Thank you so much to Dr. Padgett and the entire staff. I truly appreciate the care and attention you provide.<br><br>If you’re looking for top-notch chiropractic care close to home, this place is a gem. I even recorded a video but didn’t see an option to upload it here.<br><br>This place is EVERYTHING.
My first time visiting. Dr. Padgett was caring, thorough, and patient. I feel confident, that with the treatment options in office, will be a great addition to my chiropractic care. I truly felt seen and cared for, instead of a time slot. I look forward to returning for my personailized treatment plan.
Dr Chris Padgett is your first place to go for healing the overused body! I highly recommend seeing him if you suffer from fibromyalgia and arthritis. Oh the relief that comes from having your body adjusted . Never have to wait more than 15 mins, the staff is very nice.
Dr Chris has been working with me regularly to get my back/sciatic pain under control and it’s made a huge difference! The staff are friendly, the office is welcoming, and they’ll have you in and out in no time. Highly recommend!
I’m not sure if visiting a chiropractor will help my issues, but I would never go to another one. Dr. Padgett made me feel very secure and safe and explained everything that he was gonna do. He didn’t even make me feel silly for being so nervous if you’ve been on the fence about seeing a chiropractor, I wholeheartedly recommend going to Valley chiropractic. His whole team that was there today was just so nice.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Padgett & his staff! He was so patient with me & very thorough. I felt heard & understood. I look forward to many more visits at this facility.
I have been using Valley Chiropractic for a long time when my old back injuries flare up. The staff and Dr. Padgett are the best. I would highly recommend them.
I’ve never been to a chiropractor a day in my life, until I found out about them! All i can say is this group of people are top tier! The convenience of walk in’s with no appointment was awesome! Got me in and out within no time and i felt welcomed/ well cared for throughout the whole process! I highly recommend Valley Chiropractic! Keep up the great work!

Dr Chris and all his staff are friendly and professional. I have enjoyed coming to the office and being treated for me needs and being able to tell the difference after a treatment.
Dr Chris is the best!!<br>I can't go as much as I used to due to health problems but when I do go, I come out feeling much better.<br>He doesn't leave you in the waiting room more than 5 minutes or so.<br>He gets you right in. Hardly have time to sit down.<br>He and his staff are always nice and smiling.<br>I highly recommend anyone who is in pain... Go see Dr Chris and stop living in pain!!
Valley Chiropractic is by far the best in the area. Dr. Chris and his staff are fantastic, they know me by name, and truly care about getting you better.
Kind and caring and attentive, Chris and Kyle and Katie took great care of my wife who has been flat on the floor for nearly two weeks. After 3 visits there’s been such great improvement and new hope for healing! Love these guys!
Due to continuous back problems I ve seen other chiropractors through the years. Dr. Padgett has helped my problem more than any I I ve seen. I recommend him highly.
Dr Padgett and his team are the absolute best! When you walk into his office you’re immediately greeted and they’re always so kind. I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Padgett, I have been seeing him on and off for years and every single time I am there he is always so kind and shows so much concern and compassion! Hands down the best there is!! Shannon Walker
They are like going to see your family. They are super friendly and the wait time is only a few minutes. Plus the doctor takes the time, every time to greet you and have a conversation to see what if any issues or questions you might have. I highly recommend Valley Chiropractor for everyone looking for a great chiropractor!
Always enjoy my visits with such an awesome group of people. The staff is so friendly, concerned and supportive of their patients. Dr. Chris is an amazing chiropractor. I always feel so much better after my adjustment. Love you all ❤️
My mom suffered from dementia so unfortunately only got to see Dr Padgett once but I can say he was awesome. Super friendly with mom. Very patient. Explained everything. His staff was very nice as well. I would highly recommend.
