Myofascial pain syndrome, lower back and hip pain is caused by the production of "trigger points" (TRP) in the gluteus medius muscle. Some patients will be treated as a "pain in the butt." It is important to emphasize that the myofascial pain syndrome can affect any muscle in the body, and in any area space under the influence may be in the upper back above the shoulder blade (scapula) area which is caused by trigger points in trapezius.Myofascial syndrome pain can even affect the side of the face, causing pain in the jaw, usually affecting Tempero-mandibular joint TMJ ).
For now we will focus on the lower back and hip myofascial pain syndrome. To understand what causes myofascial pain syndrome, we must understand that it is caused by nodules (knots) cause areas of irritation in the muscle or fascia associated with muscle. These trigger points (TRP) are areas of irritation in the very broad bands of muscle or fascia.
One of the muscles that are often affected in this castle is the gluteus medius. This muscle starts at the top of the ilium (hip), and is attached to the outside of the head of the thighbone (femur). The function of this muscle is usually stabilize and keep the pelvis level, while the individual is walking. This prevents the pelvis from falling when lifting the legs on the opposite side.
Pain is not always localized to the trigger point. These trigger points can also cause pain radiating into the surrounding tissue, or irradiated in areas away from the trigger point. Pain in the buttocks, back of the thigh, the sacral area (the large triangular bone between the hips), and to the side of the lumbar spine are most frequently affected sites.
Structural instability of the lower spine and pelvis was primarily the cause of myofascial syndrome. When the tilt or rotation of the pelvis and / or shortness of one leg, will set up a weakness that makes an individual more prone to injury. Once you are prone to this type of situation produces injury while participating in sports, aerobic exercise, weight lifting, running, golf, tennis, or even sitting in a position to fall. Even lying on the affected side for the length of time may be a causative factor. This causes the gluteus medius muscles become loose and reduced flexibility. It is a loss of flexibility of the muscles, making it more prone to injury, and set one or more trigger points in muscles.
The patient must also actively participate in treatment, if you want to reduce pain and length of disability. Home health care patients to determine how it will soon be pain free and able to return to their normal daily activities. At first they were supposed to reduce any and all strenuous sports, exercise and more difficult chores like cleaning windows, cleaning floors, vacuuming, ironing, etc. The application of heat (preferably moist), 3 or 4 times a day for 20 minutes will relieve and relax muscles. After the heat, rub in a good analgesic gel.
Type of exercise program must be carefully type of program can be activated an exercise program impact would be best. and is excellent for strengthening the abdominal and back.Program picked up, although it does not affect the program still gives you a total body to allow an individual to set their own pace and set your goals higher as your muscles become stronger and increase power. With the increase in power will be more flexible physique that will enable individuals to live a powerful and important lifestyle!
