According to the severity of onset, it can be divided into acute myofasciitis and chronic myofasciitis. However, once myofasciitis attacks acutely and is not thoroughly treated, it will turn into chronic myofasciitis.
"Myofasciitis is characterized by extremely sensitive nodules that can be touched in skeletal muscle fibers, often called trigger points, also known as trigger points or trigger points . If we touch them with our fingers, we often feel It’s like a small bean buried deep in the muscle.” Zong Yindong said that when choosing treatment methods for patients, they give priority to the unique treatment technology of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). Although millimeter needles are also used, it is different from traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture points. Myofascial trigger point acupuncture therapy is based on the start, end and shape of human muscle fascia, and analyzes to find the "root cause" of pain in the corresponding part. It helps patients "unbind" contracture bundles in muscles and relieve pain without using drugs. It is a treatment method that is easy for patients to accept, safe, effective, low-carbon and environmentally friendly, and can generally be treated in 5-7 days. once.
Director Zong Yindong specially reminded that when exercising, especially young people, they must pay attention to warming up before exercising and gradually increase the intensity of exercise to avoid trauma. At the same time, work and rest should be combined to reduce muscle strain.
