Abstract:

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) has been well documented to cause or contribute to chronic pain conditions and may go undiagnosed or ineffectively managed for years.1 Additionally, MPS and trigger points (TrPs) are found commonly in cases of nerve injury such as radiculopathy.In the present case report, a 48-year-old man with chronic neck pain radiating into left shoulder and arm, upper back, chest pain, and headaches with possible nerve injury was found to have myofascial trigger points related to his condition. An osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) approach was utilized to provide relief from the chronic and complex pain condition.
