Trigger Point Therapy is a targeted, hands-on treatment designed to release tight areas in muscle tissue—commonly known as “knots”—that can cause pain, tension, and limited movement. At our practice, we offer a non-invasive approach to trigger point therapy, using only manual techniques that are suitable for all ages.
What are Trigger Points?
Trigger points are hyperirritable spots in muscles that develop when muscle fibers stay contracted for extended periods. These points can cause pain in the area where they form or refer pain to other parts of the body. For example, a trigger point in the shoulder may cause discomfort down the arm or into the neck.
These painful knots often form from:
- Overuse or repetitive motion
- Poor posture
- Muscle injury or trauma
- Stress and tension
- Lack of movement or prolonged sitting
Trigger Point Therapy can help with the following:
- Chronic muscle tightness
- Tension headaches or migraines
- Neck, shoulder, or back pain
- Sciatica-like symptoms
- Jaw tension or TMJ disorder
- Limited mobility or stiffness
- Postural imbalances
Reduce pain and promote circulation naturally.
Trigger Point Therapy offers a non-invasive path to pain relief and better movement. With consistent treatment, many people experience lasting improvements in how they feel and function—without relying on medication or invasive procedures.

I was being treated by another chiropractor without improvement -over a 9 month period my symptoms were getting worse and progressively limiting my activity. After visiting Dr. Kianian I strated feeling better almost immediately.
My girlfriend was being treated by Dr. Kianian for back pain, and asked her if she could treat asthma. Dr. Kianian told me that people often suffer from asthma because the back is misaligned, which causes the chest muscles tighten up against your lungs. I started treatment, and the results have been great. Dr. Kianian fixed the tightness in my muscles and showed me how years of bad posture had caused my spine to curve the wrong way. She knew exactly what the root of my breathing and allergy problems were, and explained everything clearly to me. Now, I feel like I know what I have to do to stay healthy. My breathing is normal and free again. And, it’s now peak allergy season and I haven’t sneezed once yet.
Sometimes, I go in for my appointment feeling so stressed out, from work, or traffic, or whatever. Dr. Kianian always knows exactly where the tension is, even if I barely realize it myself. I mean, she can get rid of a headache instantly, just by putting a little pressure on the right spot. I always walk out of there feeling like a new person.
My first visit to Dr. Kianian’s office was in early 1999 and I have kept on going back since. I was having some lower back pain when I started. Throughout the initial set of treatments Dr. Kianian explained the benefits of regular adjustments and I testify to this fact based on my 13 years of experience. Dr. Kianian’s knowledge and experiences are great combination to find the root of the problem efficiently and to treat them effectively. She shares her findings and course of treatment step by step and carefully at each visit. There have been times that I’d needed urgent treatments due to accidents and they have always accommodated my needs accordingly and with tremendous care. Dr. Kianian and her staff are very professional, courteous, and pleasant. I have always been greeted with respect and beautiful smiles. I have been very happy with their service and I will keep on going back. Thank you Dr. Kianian and staff!

The effectiveness of the treatment here has been a gift! I’ve regained my life. I can sleep the night through without pain – I am essentially pain free now – and I can dance again! I feel less stressed by stressful situations, and I seldom feel neck pain or headaches anymore either. I went in for my back and got more than I thought I needed.
I have been a patient at SJHHC for almost a year. I have always had great experiences here. Office staff is encouraging and very helpful. I would recommend this office to my friends & family. It is very kid friendly office as well. A Very Happy Patient!
Dr.Guita is very experienced doctor. I went there for my back treatment and she treated very well. I am totally satisfied with their service.

I love coming here. It’s like a spa treatment (even when it hurts). The doctor is so knowledgeable, she can offer advice on a number of health topics. You always get the feeling that she remembers you well and monitors your progress carefully. The staff is wonderful, and the new massage therapist is terrific.

Today was my first time here. I called this morning and there was a friendly voice on the other end of the line 🙂 she asked me to explain a little bit about myself and then proceeded to offer an appointment at 2 pm. I was unable to make that so she had an opening at 11 lucky I live close by so it wasn’t a problem to get there on time. Very thankful to get in today!!! When Dr. Kianian came in she was very pleasant and went over things with me. I felt like I was well taken care of she did not just lay me on the table and crack away…she evaluated me and then massaged before making the adjustments. After she was done she explained what was going on and did not give me the treatment plan, rather she said she would like to see me a few more times before making that decision. I appreciate that because I don’t like when it is just thrown out there and your sent on your way. As someone else described it is like a spa treatment!!! after the adjustment the assistant comes in and puts a heating pad on you also some electrode (I think that is what they called them) to relax the muscles. Also sent me home with some anti-inflammatory gel in case I may have some discomfort. Could not have asked for a better place to find (thanks to yelp…and all the reviews) can’t wait to go back next Thursday!
