Anyone hear of trigger points?

Generally, a Chiropractor should work on your trigger points before stretching and then an adjustment.

They'll use what looks like a door stop on a t-handle to really press into the trigger points.

Stretching is going to be critical thing for you to do. Once muscle pressure and tightness is over your trigger points, you'll feel pain. Just as inflamation will add to this.

A good chiropractor should give you the stretches and exercises that PT would recommend. The difference is that PT does them with you and the Chiropractor will just show you. If a chiropractor does not show you how to stretch; look for another one.
