Untreated TrP's frequently result in persistent symptoms, over many years. Unless you have undergone treatment specifically aimed at deactivating underlying Trigger Points (TrP's), you will find most treatments including Massage, Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, Osteopathy, Acupuncture, even Cortisone Injections, will only support short term results or no results at all!
