Myofascial Pain Syndrome
The doctor who treats persistent muscle discomfort can identify myofascial pain syndrome, a condition in which tender points (trigger points) form within the muscles and cause localized or radiating pain.
How it shows up: dull and constant pain in a muscle area, stiffness, a sensation of a knot on palpation and, at times, discomfort that spreads to nearby regions.
Factors that play a role: muscle overload, sustained postures, stress, repetitive movements, or previous injuries.
Which specialist treats it? The physical therapist and the sports medicine physician assess muscle function and body mechanics to guide recovery. When the pain limits your activities or does not ease with rest, it is worth consulting a professional who can evaluate your situation.
