Tight muscle knot that just won’t go away? Learn how acupuncture for muscle knots and trigger points may help release tension, improve circulation, and support better movement. In this video, Melva Chen, Registered Acupuncturist at Next Step Physio & Neurorehab Clinic in Edmonton, explains what muscle knots and trigger points are, why they develop, and how acupuncture may help reduce persistent muscle tightness. You’ll learn: ✅ What muscle knots are ✅ How trigger points can cause referred pain ✅ Why tight spots often develop in the neck, shoulders, and back ✅ How posture, stress, overuse, and repetitive movement contribute to muscle tension ✅ How acupuncture may help improve circulation and relax tight muscle fibres ✅ Why acupuncture may be combined with physiotherapy, stretching, muscle therapy, and posture correction Muscle knots occur when small areas of muscle fibres remain contracted rather than relaxing normally. Trigger points are sensitive spots within tight muscle bands that may cause local pain or discomfort that can radiate to other areas, such as headaches from neck trigger points or arm discomfort from shoulder trigger points. If you experience recurring muscle knots, neck tightness, shoulder tension, upper back discomfort, or trigger point pain, professional care can help identify what may be contributing to these issues. 📍 Next Step Physio & Neurorehab Clinic 7319 29 Ave NW, Suite 106A Edmonton, AB T6K 2P1, Canada 📞 Call: (587) 855-4559 🌐 Visit: www.nextstepphysio.ca 👍 Found this video helpful?

Wondering how acupuncture can help with pain relief? In this video, we explain five common conditions where acupuncture may support recovery and comfort, including neck and shoulder pain, low back pain, elbow and wrist pain, knee pain, arthritis-related stiffness, headaches, and migraines. Acupuncture works by helping relax tight muscles, improving blood flow, calming the nervous system, and supporting the body’s natural pain-relieving response. It can also be combined with physiotherapy to help improve movement, reduce discomfort, and support functional recovery.
