FENIX Rehab System: Trigger Point Self Treatment Developed to Manage Chronic Pain

Mora, MN (PRWeb) November 27, 2006 -- Chronic pain can ruin people's lives and cause stress and despair. Its prevalence even has an adverse effect on the national economy as it slows down the nation's productivity. Throughout America people are suffering and, in many cases, suffering needlessly. Chronic pain affects everyone in one-way or another, and can render its sufferer incapable of working or even performing normal daily functions. The National Institute for Neurological Disorders estimates that up to 85% of Americans will experience at least one episode of chronic pain sometime in their lives. And, according to the American Academy of Pain Medicine, the majority of those suffering do not have their chronic pain under control.

At any given time, more than one-third of all adults in America are suffering with some type of diagnosed chronic musculoskeletal pain disorder. Muscle and joint dysfunction accounts for more than 90% of chronic musculoskeletal pain. The formation of myofascial trigger points (or "muscle knots") in myofascial tissues are the primary underlying cause of these musculoskeletal problems. There are many different causes of myofascial trigger points from acute trauma and repetitive motion injuries to deconditioning from the lack of exercise and poor diet. Common myofascial related conditions effect the entire body from top to bottom including; tension headaches, neck pain, rotator cuff problems, low back pain to plantar fascitis.

Dr. Greg Fors, a board certified Chiropractic Neurologist and expert in chronic pain disorders realized the importance of people being able to find cost-effective ways to manage chronic pain. For that reason, he developed the FENIX Rehab System (www.fenixstopspain.com). This unique system, unlike other trigger point devices, allows patients to fully relax their muscles while applying self-treatment, a critical aspect of trigger point therapy.

"We needed an ongoing method to deliver pain management therapy. Professional myofascial pain management, although effective when repetitively applied, is unfortunately out of reach financially for many sufferers - even those with health insurance plans that cover only limited treatments," says Dr. Fors.

A myofascial trigger point is a tiny section of muscle that gets held in a contracted state. They form in muscles as a result of physical, nutritional and emotional stress to the involved myofascial tissue. The FENIX Rehab System is so effective because it directly targets trigger points that are known to cause shortening of the muscle, weakness, and most of all muscle pain. Trigger points generally cause referral symptoms such as pain, aches, or tingling that radiates out from the trigger point into different areas of the body.

Pressure massage or trigger point therapy has been found to be one the most effective ways to remove pain-causing trigger points, according to research reported in the Journal of Musculoskeletal Pain. According to chronic pain experts, deep sustained digital pressure on the trigger point creates changes in the tissue that increase the blood flow bringing oxygen and nutrients to the muscle cells. The muscle tissue can then produce more energy allowing the muscle to finally relax.

Pressure massage or trigger point therapy is proven to be an effective treatment of myofacial pain, but it is only effective when it is applied through repeated treatments.
Unfortunately, the costs associated with repeated sessions with a skilled practitioner for the many myofascial treatments required, may be prohibitive for many sufferers.

The FENIX Rehab System is so effective because it allows the user to target the specific area through trigger point therapy without causing additional strain on the body trying to reach to the specific trigger point. In addition, it is more cost effective than making repeated treatments with a skilled practitioner or undergoing more extreme measures to manage chronic pain.
