Trigger points are small, tight knots that develop in muscle tissue and can cause pain when activated. Trigger Point Therapy applies pressure to these trigger points, breaking up adhesions in the muscles and releasing tension which helps promote healing and relaxation.
Trigger point therapy is a type of massage therapy that focuses on the treatment of trigger points, which are areas of tightness and tension in the muscle tissue. These trigger points can cause pain and discomfort in other parts of the body and may be caused by a variety of factors, including muscle strain, repetitive use, or injury. During a trigger point therapy session, the therapist will apply pressure to the trigger points using their fingers, palms, or elbows in order to release the tension and reduce pain. The therapist may also stretch the muscle and use other techniques to improve mobility and reduce discomfort. Trigger point therapy is often used in conjunction with other massage techniques and may be effective in relieving chronic pain and improving overall muscle function.
What is a “Trigger Point”?
A trigger point is a small, tender area within a muscle that can cause pain in other parts of the body. These points are often referred to as “knots” because they can feel like small, hard lumps in the muscle tissue. Trigger points can be caused by a variety of factors, including muscle strain, repetitive use, or injury. They can also be the result of emotional stress or poor posture. When a trigger point is present, it can cause discomfort or pain in the area directly surrounding the trigger point, as well as in other areas of the body. For example, a trigger point in the upper back might cause pain in the neck or shoulders. Trigger points can be sensitive to the touch and may cause discomfort or pain when pressure is applied to them.
What does Trigger Point Therapy Treat?
Here are some common reasons why someone might consider seeking trigger point therapy:
Chronic muscle pain: Trigger point therapy can be effective in relieving chronic muscle pain caused by trigger points.
Poor posture: Poor posture can cause trigger points to form, and trigger point therapy can help to relieve the resulting muscle tension and discomfort.
Repetitive use injuries: People who perform the same movements repeatedly, such as athletes or those who work in physically demanding jobs, may develop trigger points due to the strain on their muscles. Trigger point therapy can help to reduce pain and improve muscle function.
Stress or tension: Emotional stress and tension can cause muscle tension, leading to the formation of trigger points. Trigger point therapy can help to release this tension and reduce discomfort.
Headaches: Some research suggests that trigger point therapy may be effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of headaches, including migraines.
Fibromyalgia: Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition that is often characterized by the presence of trigger points in the muscles. Trigger point therapy may be helpful in relieving pain and improving overall muscle function in people with fibromyalgia.
What to Expect During a Trigger Point Therapy Session
The length of a trigger point therapy session can vary depending on the specific needs and goals of the individual receiving treatment. In general, our trigger point therapy sessions at Spartan Chiropractic may last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. During this time, the therapist will work to identify and treat trigger points in the muscle tissue. This may involve applying pressure to the trigger points using their fingers, palms, or elbows, as well as stretching the muscle and using other techniques to improve mobility and reduce discomfort.
Some people may need more than one trigger point therapy session in order to achieve the desired results, while others may see improvement after just one session. It is important to discuss your specific needs and goals with your therapist in order to determine the appropriate length of treatment.

It was my initial consultation. I was welcomed by Samantha with a warm genuine smile and given a tour of their impressive facility. Dr Bobby was great and used some high-tech computer imaging to help me understand the issues I was having. Everyone was first class.
Had chronic pain in my hamstring and they were able to fix the issue within four sessions. It was also a great deal, even though they were out of network they offered me a four session package that ended up being less than the co-pay I was paying at the previous place that I went that took my insurance.
WOW, what a great office and very friendly. Dr. Bobby was wonderfully kind to me. I dropped in while on vacation and I had very little wait and I enjoyed his adjustment technique. He worked and fixed me. Samantha was efficient and so kind.
10 stars! First impressions are a big deal for me and Dr. Calhoun’s team goes above and beyond when it comes to making you feel comfortable. This level of customer service is a rare thing. Samantha and Victoria are so welcoming and the entire operation is quality from start to finish. Highly recommend!
I would recommend this place to anyone who asks. The Dr. and Sam are awesome people to work with. Very efficient and will help and explain anything you have questions about!
Long overdue review! I trust Bobby with all of my and my family’s chiropractic needs. He is incredibly knowledgeable and intentional in his approach, takes the time to listen thoroughly to all concerns, and explains everything clearly so you feel confident in your care. I always leave feeling 1000% better than when I walked in. The front desk staff is also very helpful and friendly, which is always appreciated :)
I’ve been seeing Dr.Bobby on and off for about 4 years. I have a very physically demanding line of work and he keeps me moving. He’s amazing at listening to the issue at hand and handling his patients with the utmost care, with top of the line equipment. If you are in the Tampa Bay Area and are looking for a chiro, Dr.Bobby is well worth giving a shot!
I had an outstanding experience at the chiropractic office. The staff was friendly patient and extremely helpful from the moment I walked in. Dr Bobby was professional ,upbeat and took the time to explain everything clearly while giving me thoughtful options for care .I felt fully informed and confident in the treatment decisions,.The entire visit was positive, efficient reassuring. I highly recommend! The first visit was complementary – showing real confidence in the quality of care and gives patients a chance to understand the approach before committing.
Dr. Bobby and the team at Spartan Chiropractor deliver exceptional care in a top-notch facility. I suffered from a neck injury in a car accident years ago and now I get adjusted there weekly. I especially value the recovery tools like the infrared sauna and cold plunge, they’ve made a real difference. The private gym is state-of-the-art and perfect for my focused workouts. The staff are knowledgeable, welcoming, and always me laugh. Highly recommend for anyone in Tampa serious about their health and recovery.
I went into Spartan Chiropractic a few weeks ago with a sports related injury in my lower back to see if I could find any sort of relief because no matter how much stretching I did the pain was still there. I was having a ton of pain each time I swung but I now have none. Not only do I not have pain while swinging, I have much more flexibility in my back and shoulders allowing me to have better posture and mobility. Highly recommend checking them out.
Spartan Chiropractic is the definition of a well-oiled machine. The staff is extremely kind and helpful, and Dr. Bobby is very knowledgeable. Whether it is just an average adjustment or a serious issue, he takes improving your health very seriously. I recommend Spartan Chiropractic for anyone looking for the best chiropractor in Tampa.
Can’t say enough good things about Spartan Chiropractic. They are professional and kind. The sauna and cold plunge area is private, clean and therapeutic. It’s become an integral part of my wellness protocol.
This was the best Chiropractic experience I’ve ever had! From the moment you walk in, the staff is so nice and welcoming, the office is clean and offers a lot more than any other chiro I’ve been to. It’s kind of a body-wellness one stop shop. Dr. Calhoun is knowledgeable and thorough, and was able to alleviate shoulder tightness and neck pain in my first 2 visits with a combination of muscle work, cupping and dry needling, . In months of going elsewhere, my upper back has NEVER cracked like that. I don’t know what magic touch he possesses, but I will be going back weekly. Highly recommend.
I love his office space, and the location! Also, how easy it is to schedule online! Dr. Bobby is personable, and made me feel comfortable during my appointment!! He knew exactly how to help me. I felt amazing walking out of my appointment!! 10/10
I love Spartan Chiropractic !!! Dr. Bobby and Sam are so welcoming and I enjoy coming in. Sam does a great job greeting everyone, always talkative and positive! The office is clean, well-organized, and there is always a flow!! Highly recommend Spartan Chiropractics to anyone looking for quality care with a fun environment!!!
Thank you so much for the adjustment! It's the day after the por osos 5k (running on pavement wrecks me) and I feel fantastic. I'm giving Spartan Chiropractic all the credit for my recovery.
Hands down the best chiropractor in Tampa! I’ve been searching for a reliable and skilled chiropractor near me for a while, and I’m so glad I found this office. The staff is super friendly, and the care I received from Dr. Bobby was top-notch. I felt a difference after just one visit. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality chiropractic care in the Tampa area and I will be back for sure!
I am very picky when it comes to anyone in this field and from the moment I met him I knew he was the guy to go to. I can confidently say Dr Bobby shows incredible knowledge, professionalism, and is a top tier chiropractor in the area. As someone who works on professional and all types of athletes, I look for a certain type of care and he certainly goes above and beyond. I recommend him to everyone I know, and now to you.<br><br>PS. Once you go into that office, you won’t want to leave!
By far the best Chiropractor in Tampa Bay Area! As an athlete it’s hard to find a chiropractor that will find a solution and treatment while keeping you safe in your sport! Dr. Bobby does that he listens and understands! He’s great! Also, who wouldn’t want a fire and ice area IN your doctors office?
Finding a chiropractor who understands the unique needs of both active kids and their parents is a rare gem, and we’re so fortunate to have found Dr. Bobby! Our kids are extremely active in sports, and Dr. Bobby has been an essential part of their wellness routine. Whether it’s addressing minor injuries, improving flexibility, or preventing future issues! We can’t recommend Dr. Bobby enough for families looking to stay healthy, active, and pain-free. Whether you’re an athlete, a parent, or just someone who values their health, Spartan Chiropractic is the best place to be in Tampa. Highly recommend!
I cannot explain the relief I feel after coming in to see Dr. Bobby! I went in with terrible pain in my upper back and rib area which made it hurt to breathe and really move at all! It’s only two days later after we did an adjustment and some muscle work, I couldn’t recommend a better place or chiropractor!!
I can't speak highly enough about my experience at Spartan Chiropractic. From the moment I walked into the office, it was clear that Dr. Bobby is not only highly knowledgeable but also very compassionate. He took the time to listen to my concerns, complete a full evaluation of my hip that was bothering me, and explained my treatment plan in a way that was easy to understand. Dr. Bobby combines expertise with empathy and is absolutely someone I would highly recommend if you are looking for a chiropractor in the Tampa area!
Dr. Calhoun is the best chiropractor in Tampa. The location of the office is conducive being right across from The University of Tampa near downtown. His office incorporates cold plunge, sauna, decompression room, adjustment/cupping room, and fitness center which I have never seen anywhere else! Very down to earth guy that genuinely cares about their patients and wants them to feel better.
I came to Dr. Bobby with tons of lower back pain from sitting in a chair all day. He took the time to analyze my situation and was very knowledgeable with specific solutions. I felt a lot better after my visit. Best chiropractor in town! I’ll definitely be coming back
