Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Using the power of innovative science and modern technology, Dr SW Clinic can help you live your best pain-free life without the need for invasive surgery.
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common and painful condition that affects the muscles and the connective tissue (fascia) that surrounds them. It is characterised by the presence of trigger points, which are tight knots of muscle fibers that can cause localised pain and refer pain to other areas of the body. These trigger points often develop due to muscle overuse, injury, or muscle imbalances.
Myofascial pain syndrome can be chronic, but with appropriate treatment and self-care, many individuals experience significant improvement in their symptoms.
At Dr SW Clinic we can treat a range of pain conditions using regenerative medicine and pain relieving injections. If you are tired of living with pain and looking for a non-surgical intervention, then DR SW Clinics could help you get back to your best, pain-free life.

- Muscle Overuse or Injury: Repetitive motions or overuse of specific muscles can lead to the development of trigger points. This is common in athletes or individuals with physically demanding jobs.
- Muscle Imbalances: Imbalances in muscle strength or posture can put excessive stress on certain muscles, leading to the formation of trigger points.
- Psychological Stress: Emotional stress and tension can contribute to the development or exacerbation of myofascial trigger points.
- Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as fibromyalgia, can increase the risk of myofascial pain syndrome.
What are the common symptoms of Myofascial Pain Syndrome?

- Localised muscle pain or tenderness at the site of the trigger point.

How do we diagnose at Dr SW Clinics?
Depending on the joint issue you present with, there may be a couple of ways to diagnose your pain and thereby find you a lasting solution.
Firstly, you will have a telephone consultation with one of our highly trained patient advisors. This patient advisor will ask you a series of pre-assessment questions to better understand your personal needs.
You will then be invited for a consultation with one of our leading experts. To better gain an understanding of the problem, the Consultant may suggest you receive an x-ray or an MRI.
What is an x-ray?
A diagnostic test that can help identify what issues are causing the pain.
What is an MRI?
A diagnostic test using a magnetic field and radio waves for a detailed image of both joint and soft tissue.
What is an ultrasound?
Typically a handheld device that provides an on the spot image of the soft tissue.
Once we’ve received the results of your diagnostic tests, our team will be able to advise you on next best steps to get you pain free.
