Although many people before, like J.H. Kellgren from University College Hospital in London, Michael Gutstein in Berlin, and Michael Kelly in Australia, began the journey to understanding trigger points and trigger point injections. However, it was Janet G Travell, MD who was responsible for the majority of the work we know today.
She became famous by successfuly treating John F. Kennedy's back pain. She was actually so successful that she was soon asked to be the first female Personal Physician to a United States President. As a result she published a number of papers and manuals about trigger points.
However, most doctors still don't understand or practice trigger points. That's why it's so important to make sure that you visit a physiatrist when seeking treatment because they specifically specialize in medicine and rehabilitation are well versed in trigger point diagnosis and therapy.
Trigger point research, development and treatment is not only a deeply researched subject it has the potential to be known for being the cause of a number of chronic pain diagnosis. Trigger point injections can help relieve this pain.
For a qualified physiatrist to treat your pain consider New York Physiatrist Dr. Ingber, a physiatrist in Brooklyn and in Manhattan who specializes in physical medicine, rehabilitation, and sports medicine. Visit us online at http://www.dringber.com/.
