The differential diagnosis list is long; etiologies range from inflammatory and oncologic to primary muscular, hypermobility, overuse, and trauma.Physical therapy is the cornerstone of treatment of all types of musculoskeletal pain, with appropriate modifications needed for patients with hypermobility disorders.Trigger point injections are the most frequently performed interventions for myofascial pain and are of low complexity and morbidity. More invasive procedures, such as epidural steroid injections, sacroiliac joint injections, and facet injections, are indicated for specific diagnoses, and patients should be referred to those specially trained to perform them.
