Dorsal Myofascial Syndrome

What is

The myofascial syndrome of the dorsal region is a picture of muscle pain sustained over time caused by persistent contracture of a muscle or muscle group. This is, among all, the most frequent cause of pain in the dorsal region.

This contracture is characterized by presenting as a tense, palpable band in the muscle (the contracture), which presents increased consistency and which when pressed produces pain in the area of the contracture or in the path of the muscle.

Causes

Generally this type of contracture is triggered as a consequence of overloads produced by other situations such as degeneration and deterioration of the intervertebral disc, a herniated disc or a facet syndrome among others. Other factors such as inadequate postures, traffic accidents or some jobs with inadequate habits can produce them.

Symptoms

Pain in the area of muscle contracture.
Distant and distant pain from the contracted area
Contracture with limitation of mobility

Approach protocol

Diagnosis and assessment

A correct medical evaluation will be necessary by means of a good anamnesis, physical examination and, if necessary, support of imaging tests, focusing especially on detecting the origin and cause of the pain.

Complementary tests

An MRI and/or CT scan may be performed to assess whether there are lesions in discs or joints that are the cause of this persistent muscle contracture.

Treatments

Non-interventional treatment: treatment of existing lesions in the discs or adjacent joints that produce and/or promote muscle contracture. This will allow the results obtained to be prolonged in time.
- Therapeutic exercise: active physiotherapy treatments in which the muscles responsible for protecting the area are developed.
- Physiotherapy: methodology based on knowledge and clinical reasoning in which we combine a series of techniques and treatments both manual therapy and invasive techniques, always associated or complementing them with cutting-edge technology that allows us to accelerate the recovery process. Among other high-tech devices include Magnetolith, SIS, focal shock waves, Indiba, among others. This therapeutic combination allows us to activate the patient early to begin with a routine and a process of specific therapeutic exercises that allow us to enhance and strengthen the lost functional patterns.
Interventional treatments:
- Ultrasound-guided blockade of fascial planes
- Botulinum toxin treatments
- Ozone treatments

¡Una clínica excelente! Son todos unos profesionales maravillosos, muy competentes y el trato es exquisito, son muy agradables y cariñosos. Se implican personalmente con cada paciente. Muy buen ambiente y buena organización. También el personal de recepción son encantadores y cercanos; te facilitan y ayudan en todo.
Yo ya estuve hace 2 años con una lesión en el hombro y consiguieron recuperarme al 100% y en poco tiempo. Las dos veces llamé y me dieron la cita para las sesiones muy pronto.
La rehabilitadora jefa es una gran profesional con grandes conocimientos. De los fisios, Belén y Fran son magníficos.
Es una clínica altamente recomendable; yo vivo en El Palo, y aunque tengo bastantes clínicas más cerca tengo claro donde voy a seguir viniendo.
