The Principles of Myofascial Pain and Neuropathy
I have probably described over twenty principles of MFP in my
career in pain, so I will limit the principles that I think are most
important to understand chronic pain. The following are principles of the
behavior of muscle:
- All muscles shorten in response to injury or exercise
- Most of the muscle shortening will occur at rest such as sleep, sitting or
standing.
- Muscle shortening will accumulate over time eventually forming very firm
scar tissue within the muscle.
- Personal injury factors (age, sex, history of accident) are responsible
for determining which muscle groups are affected and therefore which pain
syndrome each individual will develop.
- Walter Cannon’s law of Denervation Supersensitivity
- Dr. Lamb’s Principle of Persistent Compression and Traction
- The Principle of Referred Pain
- Dr. Lamb’s Principle of Constant Total Body pain
- Dr. Lamb’s Principle of Body Flux
- Dr. Lamb’s Principle that "All Sensory Information is a Form of
Pain"
