Myofascial pain syndrome is a condition that can be caused by repetitive use of different muscles in the body or excess stress and anxiety causing one to tense up his or her muscles frequently. It creates sensitive areas of tight muscle fibers called "trigger points." There are many possible ways to treat this condition. Your doctor might prescribe pain relievers, antidepressants, or sedatives. He or she might also recommend physical therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, or massage. All of those disciplines can help relieve muscular pain. Lastly, a numbing agent or steroid might be injected into the sensitive areas.

A chiropractor's job is to put those joints back into place through an adjustment. A physical therapist works to rehab and provide guided exercise to stabilize and improve muscle function. These two professions work well hand-in-hand, but if your doctor suggested a chiropractor, it wouldn't hurt to try that first. The rest of your body functions off of the nerves coming out of your spine, so removing that interference would be the key place to start.
