TRAPPED NERVE VS TRIGGER POINT
Let’s clear this one up — because these two love to get mistaken for each other.
You know the feeling… that sharp, nagging, burning pain that makes you think you’ve “got a trapped nerve.”
Or maybe wee Mary told you she had one once and now you’re convinced that’s exactly what it is 🤣🤦🏼♀️
But here’s the truth
A TRAPPED NERVE
→ Happens when a nerve gets compressed or irritated — often by tight muscles, swollen tissue, or misalignment in the body.
→ Can cause sharp, radiating, shooting pain, tingling, or numbness that follows a nerve pathway (think down the arm or leg).
A TRIGGER POINT
→ Is a tight, hyper-irritable knot within a muscle.
→ Can cause dull, aching pain and even refer pain elsewhere — so it can feel just like nerve pain.
→ Usually caused by overload, stress, or imbalance.
Here’s the twist …
You can actually experience both at the same time.
They can mimic each other, overlap, and drive you mad — all while making you guess what’s really going on.
Now, massage can absolutely help relieve a trigger point by loosening the muscle and easing pain.
But if your body is out of alignment, that muscle tightness (and nerve irritation) will keep coming back.
That’s where Kinetic Chain Release (KCR) comes in 💫
It works to realign and reset your entire body, so everything supports itself properly — addressing the root cause, not just the symptom.
Because sometimes it’s not just “that one muscle”… it’s the chain reaction happening throughout your whole body.
So whether it’s a trapped nerve, a trigger point, or a bit of both — let’s get to the source and fix it properly.
