Trigger Points Therapy

Trigger Point Therapy

Relieve Muscle Tension at the Source with Dr. Wafaa Matti, NMD | Encinitas

Chronic pain, tightness, or stiffness that won’t go away? It could be caused by trigger points—knotted areas of muscle that refer pain to other parts of the body. At the Stengler Center in Encinitas, Dr. Wafaa Matti uses targeted Trigger Point Therapy to release these knots, restore mobility, and support natural healing.

What Are Trigger Points?

Trigger points are hyper-irritable bands of skeletal muscle that can form due to overuse, injury, poor posture, stress, or inflammation. They can:

• Cause localized or radiating pain (often mistaken for joint or nerve issues)
• Limit range of motion and flexibility
• Lead to headaches, neck pain, back pain, or jaw tightness
• Cause “referred pain” patterns—where pain shows up in a different location than the source

How Trigger Point Injections Work

Dr. Wafaa uses small injections of natural substances (or anesthetic, when needed) into the affected muscle area. This helps:

• Relax tight muscle fibers
• Improve blood flow and oxygen to the tissue
• Reduce pain signals from the nervous system
• Restore function and range of motion

Most patients feel relief quickly, with results improving over multiple sessions.

An Integrative Pain Relief Option

Unlike steroid injections or prescription medications, Dr. Wafaa’s trigger point treatments are:

• Non-surgical and minimally invasive
• Supportive of the body’s self-healing mechanisms
• Often combined with naturopathic care such as:
  • Magnesium or anti-inflammatory supplementation
  • Posture and ergonomics support
  • PRP or regenerative options if needed
  • Stress reduction to prevent tension relapse

What Conditions May Benefit?

Trigger point therapy can help relieve:

• Neck and upper back pain
• TMJ or jaw tightness
• Headaches and migraines
• Shoulder tension
• Low back pain or sciatica-like symptoms
• Chronic fatigue with muscular stiffness
• Fibromyalgia or myofascial pain syndrome
