Erector Spinae Trigger Points

Over 30 million Americans experience lower back pain, and it is one of the most common reasons for missed work and the second most common reason for a doctor’s visit
The Erector Spinae muscle actually consists of three columns of muscles, the Iliocostalis, Longissimus, and Spinalis, each running parallel on either outer side of the vertebra and extending from the lower back of the skull all the way down to the Pelvis.
The Erector Spinae provides the resistance that assists in the control action of bending forward at the waist as well as acting as powerful extensors to promote the return of the back to the erect position.
During full flexion (i.e., when touching fingertips to floor), the Erector Spinae Muscles are relaxed and strain is borne entirely by the ligaments of the back.
On the reversal of the movement, the Erector Spinae in conjunction with the Hamstrings and Gluteus Maximus muscles (buttocks) is primarily responsible for the extension of the back (straightening of the spine) as well as more specific movements such as the extension of the neck and sidewards movement of the head.
Trigger Points in the erector spinae muscles are commonly associated with lower back pain.Recent studies have shown that shoe insoles, back belts, ergonomic interventions, or education alone had little effect in reducing symptoms, but that exercise (including stretching and strengthening) made a significant difference in almost 50% of cases.
Part of the reason for this is that exercise can help dissipate trigger points, and when combined with trigger point therapy can provide extremely effective relief, both short and long term.

I get knots in this area after doing pull up. I get a smooth hard object and rub slowly and firmly up and down smoothes the muscles and clear the knots and pain is gone!

@@AR-nn3vray man that’s the exact same case with me how long did it take you to fully recover

[@beatsbyjuni]

I am finding pain on the muscle area by T6 and T8 vertebrae on my right side. Acupuncture, cupping, and extreme massaging does not fix this, nor stretching. Could it be a slipped disc?

[@sauravbasu8805]

Was it diagnosed ? Are you feeling any better ?

[@SHEARMINATOR]

My right side causes me so much pain I can't walk

Misinformation.
TrP pain doesn’t radiate. It is referred.
