If you're dealing with back, butt, or sciatica pain chances are you feel all sorts of tender spots. Much of the world believes these to be "muscle knots" or "trigger points" and because of this, many people try releasing them by getting deep tissue massage, foam rolling, using tennis balls and all sorts of other gadgets. But, if you're like many of the people I work with, the trigger points and tightness just keeps coming back. Why?

Because evidence suggests that trigger points are NOT of the muscle but rather due to a sensitive nervous system or even referred pain.

Sensitivity of the peripheral nervous system (as a result of inflammation) or central nervous system (central sensitization) can cause one to feel "trigger points" and tender points in the area of the body supplied by that level of the spine.

L5 results in glute, hamstring and lower leg tightness.
S1 issues result in calf "trigger points" and "plantar fasciitis."
L4 issues refer tightness and "trigger points" to the psoas and hip region.

This results in much confusion along with various pain points and diagnoses, as doctors and people chase the symptoms, rather than treating the cause (a sensitive nervous system or structure referring pain).
