Activation of trigger points may be caused by a number of factors, including acute or chronic muscle overload, activation by other trigger points (key/satellite, primary/secondary), disease, psychological distress (via systemic inflammation), homeostatic imbalances, direct trauma to the region, collision trauma (such as a car crash which stresses many muscles and causes instant trigger points ...
Generally speaking, the muscular pain is steady, aching, and deep. Depending on the case and location the intensity can range from mild discomfort to excruciating and "lightning-like". Knots may be visible or felt beneath the skin. The pain does not resolve on its own, even after typical first-aid self-care such as ice, heat, and rest. [4]
The iliotibial tract or iliotibial band (ITB; also known as Maissiat's band or the IT band) is a longitudinal fibrous reinforcement of the fascia lata. The action of the muscles associated with the ITB (tensor fasciae latae and some fibers of gluteus maximus) flex, extend, abduct, and laterally and medially rotate the hip. The ITB contributes ...
Joint pain from a mild injury may benefit from the R-I-C-E method, which stands for rest, ice, compression, elevation. Some supplements may also help with joint pain.

Fibrovascular bands are dense tissue that can restrict mobility of the sciatic nerve causing entrapment. Top left is a compressive / bridge-type band, like a seat belt. Top right is an adhesive / horse-strap band, like a leash. Bottom center is undefined distribution that restricts mobility in multiple directions, like a splattering of glue.
While both procedures are effective, the neurectomy has better outcomes on complete pain relief. [4] [8] [5] In a systematic review, complete pain relief was seen in 85% of neurectomy cases and 63% of decompression cases. [8] A Cochrane review found that complete pain relief in 85-100% of neurectomy cases and 60-99% of decompression cases. [2]
