Trigger Points found in the Gluteus Medius can cause many types of referred sensation as shown in red stippling. This illustration done by Barbara Cummings.
For 42 years the NAMTPT has been the only organization dedicated to representing professionals whose primary training is focused on identification and treatment of myofascial pain and dysfunction.
If you experience chronic pain which other types of treatment or medications have not resolved, then myofascial trigger points are a likely cause of your pain.
