Trigger points are hyper-irritable spots or
zones that produce pain when stimulated by
compression.  The onset can be sudden or
insidious.  Trigger points are thought to be
caused by mechanical stress, changes in
temperature, or fatigue.  Trigger points can
appear as nodule or palpable bands of
tense, hard, tissue.

Thought commonly called points, trigger
points are more likely to occur as zones than
discrete points.  Sometimes a large portion of
a muscle or even the entire muscle responds
as a single trigger point.

Trigger points normally produce deep aching
pain as opposed to superficial pain.  When
pressure stimulates trigger points, the patient
may recoil or experience autonomic
response.
