What is Trigger Point Myotherapy?

"Myo" means muscle. Trigger Point Myotherapy is a non-invasive therapeutic treatment to relieve and control myofascial (muscular) pain and dysfunction related to chronic and acute health conditions.

Trigger Point Myotherapy is based on a Western medical model. It is the result of many years of research and documentation by medical doctors. Dr. Janet Travell, White House Physician to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, researched and published the specific pain patterns and symptoms caused by Trigger Points. She developed the treatment to successfully locate, treat and deactivate Trigger Points.

                Pain is often a warning of a medical problem. A medical diagnosis and referral from a physician, chiropractor, dentist, or osteopath assures that pathological problems will not interfere with  Trigger Point Myotherapy treatment. Certified Trigger Point Myotherapists are educated and trained in anatomy, exercise, sport sciences, and myofacial pain therapy treatment. They are not diagnosticians. Treatments are scheduled by appointment only. Appointment hours are:

Monday - Thursday: 9 am to 9 pm
Fridays: 9 am to 5 pm

Initial appointments last 1 1/2 to 2 hours, and include a medical history review and assessments to assist in developing a treatment plan. Subsequent treatments are scheduled on a hourly basis, or by special arrangement. All treatments are one-on-one with the therapist.

Please note that payment is due at the time of treatment, and missed appointments will be charged!  A physician's referral is not necessary for the first visit/consultation; however, a physician's referral, with a diagnosis, diagnosis is required for insurance billing.  A payment receipt will be provided for patient reimbursement if applicable.  Worker's Compensation and automobile accident cases require written pre-authorization from a doctor.
