Are Quadratus Lumborum Trigger Points Causing You Pain?

👉 Trigger points in the QL muscle can cause pain and discomfort in the lower back and hips. These trigger points are typically located near the attachment points of the muscle, and they can be activated by poor posture, muscle strain, or injury.
👉 Dry needling can help to speed up the healing of damaged or injured tissue, by promoting blood flow to the affected area and stimulating the body's natural healing processes.
👉 Trigger points in the QL muscle can contribute to limited mobility and stiffness in the lower back and hips. Dry needling can help to release this tension, allowing the muscle to stretch and move more freely.
The quadratus lumborum (QL) works together with the psoas for creating an anterior pelvic tilt. It also helps to stabilize the lumbar spine together with the transverse abdominis, and to function with the other “core” muscles. When both sides of the QL contract together, this causes the lumbar spine to go into extension. When only one side contracts, it will either pull the rib cage downward to assist in lateral flexion (side bending) or it will raise one side of the pelvis upward.
Dry needling of the QL muscle can provide numerous benefits for individuals with lower back pain or discomfort. By releasing tension in the QL muscle and reducing trigger point activation, dry needling can offer pain relief, improve flexibility and range of motion, speed up healing, and potentially reduce the reliance on pain medication. The technique works by stimulating the body's natural healing processes, increasing blood flow to the affected area, and promoting muscle relaxation.
