ABOUT
Frank Gresham has traveled to Norway and throughout the United States assisting in teaching Dr. Travell’s protocol for myofascial trigger point therapy.
A graduate of the American Institute of Myofascial Studies, Frank is a member of the National Association of Myofascial Trigger Point Therapists.
Chronic Pain: Why do we hurt?
The Chronic Pain Center is here to help patients get out of their pain. Tight shortened muscles can refer pain to all parts of our bodies. I eliminate that pain and educate you on how to keep yourself pain free. This usually takes 2 to 4 visits. Usually a significant difference is noticed after the consult and first 2 visits.
Frequently asked questions
What ailments are treated at the TCPC?
Back pain
What is myofascial trigger point pain?
Often, where the pain is felt is not where it originates. The muscular system often refers pain to other parts of the body, making it difficult for those not familiar with Trigger Point Myoth-erapy to determine the pain’s source. For example, common trigger points in the major neck muscle can irritate nerves causing tingling in the arm and numb fingers.
Trigger points may be associated with myofascial pain syndromes. Trigger points are very common, and some might refer to trigger points as "muscle knots".
Why do muscles tighten and cause chronic pain?
What are common perpetuating factors?
Pronation - flat feet
small hemi-pelvis
Sitting positions (watching television, reading, at the computer, driving, etc.)
