Muscle Pain Treatment in Greenville, SC
Muscle Pain Treatment at IHP Greenville — expert acupuncture for chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues. Dr. Hendry, DAOM. Call (864) 365-6156.
Muscle pain — myalgia — can arise from myofascial trigger points, fibromyalgia, overuse, post-exercise soreness (DOMS), inflammatory myopathy, or systemic conditions like hypothyroidism or vitamin D deficiency. At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry approaches muscle pain diagnostically — identifying the primary driver before selecting treatment — and therapeutically through the combination of dry needling, acupuncture, and functional medicine that produces the most complete resolution.
How Muscle Pain Treatment Works
Muscle pain treatment varies by cause: trigger point dry needling for myofascial pain, graduated acupuncture with central sensitization protocol for fibromyalgia, anti-inflammatory acupuncture and Chinese herbs for inflammatory myopathy, and functional medicine testing for systemic metabolic causes. Dr. Hendry always performs a systematic palpation of the affected muscles to identify active trigger points before treatment.
Conditions Treated with Muscle Pain Treatment
Your First Appointment
Describe the distribution of pain (localized vs. diffuse), character (aching, burning, cramping), timing (worse morning, evening, or constant), and any systemic symptoms accompanying the pain. Prior diagnosis of fibromyalgia, polymyalgia rheumatica, or myopathy is important clinical information.
Why Dr. Hendry for Muscle Pain Treatment
Dr. Hendry's ability to distinguish myofascial trigger point pain from fibromyalgia from inflammatory myopathy from systemic metabolic causes — based on 25 years of clinical experience and functional medicine training — allows him to apply the right treatment rather than the same treatment for every muscle pain presentation.
