Trauma Paths
Although we are steadfast in our conviction that this one general scenario explains how the problems occur, we have found that there are two separate paths that the damage can take, which we call trauma paths. In the first, muscular inflammation is the problem, and in other nerve entrapment is the problem. Generally, both will share some portion of the blame, because they will affect one another as you develop the classic pain cycle. But one or the other usually becomes the primary focus of the therapy
Nerve problems are predominated by adhesions that cause changes in sensation such as numbness, tingling, pins-and-needles, or even electric shock-like spikes. Muscle problems are typified by trigger points that cause searing pain, loss of grip strength, or stamina, pain with movement, and so on. With muscular trauma, your nerve is usually in fine condition - it is simply reporting a very painful state.
