Dr. Amy M. O’Donnell offers evidence-based treatment for myofascial pain

Fascia is the layer of connective tissue that covers the muscles

Myofascial pain is a chronic, painful condition that affects the fascia which is the layer of connective tissue that covers the muscles. Fascia allows for the smooth gliding of one muscle upon another. Myofascial pain syndrome can involve a single muscle or a larger muscle group. Often, trigger points form which can cause pain in other areas, also known as referred pain.

Dr. O’Donnell treats myofascial pain with MLS Cold Laser, Trigger Point Dry Needling, therapeutic exercises and activities, among other interventions.
