What Is a Trigger Point?

Refers to the point of greater resistance to pressure. Mostly located in pain-related areas related to visceral pain. Boureau reported in 1976 that the trigger point has three characteristics: deep tissue sensitivity, nodules, and radiation pain. It is believed that there is a certain degree of consistency between it and meridian points, and stimulation of certain trigger points can produce radiating pain in the same segment or far segment, and its radiation pathway is similar to that of meridians. The Japanese soldier head justice believed that the trigger point is very similar to the meridian and meridian system, and there is a connection line between the trigger point and its related connection point like the meridian. ^[1]
