Myofascial TrPs are an often overlooked but treatable source of pain and discomfort in the low back. They often complicate or coexist with other causes of low back pain, and they can mimic other neuromuscular or back musculoskeletal problems. Successful treatment of myofascial pain requires the identification of TrPs by manual examination, identification of mechanical or systemic perpetuating factors, treatment of the specific TrPs, and corrective action to prevent their recurrence.
肌筋膜触发点是下背部疼痛和不适的一个常常被忽视但可治疗的来源。它们常与下背部疼痛的其他病因并发或共存，并且可能与其他神经肌肉或背部肌肉骨骼问题相似。成功治疗肌筋膜疼痛需要通过手法检查识别触发点、识别机械性或全身性的持续因素、治疗特定的触发点以及采取纠正措施以防止其复发。
