[@chrisnotap]

If I have a very tight Trapezius muscle, can this cause headaches up and over the right side of my skull and in behind my eye? And at times when it is real bad cause vision disturbances? Along with this I get pain in my right shoulder area near my neck.

[@Nielasher]

Absolutely, tight trapezius muscles can indeed contribute to headaches that radiate to the skull and behind the eye, often referred to as tension headaches. It's also not uncommon for this tension to impact your vision temporarily due to muscle strain around the neck and head area. We recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a personalized treatment plan, which might include trigger point therapy to help relieve these symptoms. 🙏

[@chrisnotap]

@@Nielasher If I may ask, what type of health care professional would I contact that would be familiar with these muscles and how to treat them? I live in Canada.

[@rileysmith1539]

Can you help with the occipital pressure and pain in back of head/neck ?

[@Nielasher]

Hi Riley, Trigger points in the spleni muscles at the base of the skull, Levator Scapuae and Middle Trapezius can refer pain over the head. You can try gentle massage over the those areas along with heat, if you find this relieves the problem you are probably a good candidate for Myofascial Trigger Point therapy.

[@testingaccount5867]

Does this problem ever go away permanently? It has been 2 years I am so sick and tired with this same upper trapezius and shoulder too. It has literally destroyed my life.

[@Nielasher]

Hi, If the relevant trigger points are addressed then it should be relieved. The problem is, that often the primary trigger point in this area is missed and only the satellite points are treated, or worse still trigger points in a different muscle are treated. Levator Scapulae and Trapezius are good examples of this phenomenon, because of the complexity of the structures. Often this can only be alleviated by a therapist treating the area. Of course any perpetuating factors need to be addressed, to prevent this problem returning. Thank you very much for your feedback.

[@rathirishi]

Can they also cause upper back pain between scapula and spine? When I apply pressure on them I can feel the pain on same upper back spot. Plus one scalene trigger point also shows same pain referral patter. Would eliminating these two help?

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Yes

[@lindabrincken1677]

I hope u in texas dr. I need this theraphy very badly.

[@farshimelt]

Find a massage therapist who does trigger point therapy.

[@omid_sport]

What's doctor name?

[@aikiuke]

I found it interesting that my levator or traps pop when I do the trap stretch where you tilt your head to the side and down, but after I ice the sore area it doesn't pop when I do the stretch for a while after icing. Trying to ice and heat more often. Does anyone else get that pop when they try to stretch their traps?

[@Truerealism747]

Is that when lift arm up

[@happytown5]

i thought the LS was located inferior to the mastoid process. am i wrong?

[@Nielasher]

The mastoid process is a bony projection of the temporal bone on the base of the skull posteriorly. Levator Scapulae attaches to transverse process of the first four Cervical vertebrae travels down to the superior angle and medial border of the scapula. This would clearly make the LS inferior.

I really need your help doctor I’ve got that over 10 years from stress with ringing in my left ear could please tell me where are you or to talk to you via what’s up - all my best dear

[@texasmade6547]

What doctor treats this ?

[@brodhax6148]

none, Deep tissue Fascial Message therapist. Search for that. It should not be cheap, nor comfortable. Its painful and expensive ($80-100 per hour) and sucks, but very effective. Once per week for maybe a month should really help work all the trigger points out.

[@caleasthetic]

or you could go to a fysiotherapist who knows how to do dry needling. the use acupuncture needles to release the muscle. they would use a quick motion of the needle to reach the deeper tissue. with accupucture they will let the needles stay in a while. dry needling is just a quick sting with the needle in order to get a twitch response to release the tension. just look for dry needling online to get a better picture of what it is. It will help to get ridd of the triggerpoint. but triggerpoints can come back if the you do not adress the isseu that is causing te triggerpoint to form in the first place. hope this helps.

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

You can go to his website and find doctors who know this system of treatment.

Migranes every single day of my life because of this I wish I knew how to stop them😭 starts in my neck then moves right into my temple and eye

[@palashagrawal1884]

Hey, please get your TM joint checked at your good local dentist( oral & maxillofacial surgeon). Generally migraines are episodic but TMJ pains are present 24*7 and are similar as migraine. Happened to me, I thought it was migraine but found out it's the TM JOINT problem.

[@austinwells2654]

How was it discovered/proved that those “trigger points” are exactly where you say they are, and that they refer pain exactly where you say they do? How is it possible to prove (or was proved already) that levator trigger IS the levator trigger and that it refers pain locally? And the trap trigger is indeed located within the trap and not levator, and that it’s exactly that trap trigger point refers pain upwards. Why levator trigger cannot refer pain upwards? And why do I myself never feel any referred pain anywhere when I’m having massages? It’s all so very confusing. Also on clients - not everybody have these triggers and referred pain.

[@somebody3158]

Its not a one size fits all, its just common triggers points and their referral patterns. These trigger points and refferal patterns were documented over the course of 20 years of study and research by Dr. Travell.
