DR. CHRIS MANGO: Hi. This is Dr. Chris Mango here in New York City. On behalf of Expert Village, we're going to be taking a look at trigger points today. We're going to teach you today about trigger points. What the deal is, we have tons of muscles inside our body, inside each of these muscles every once in a while you get a knot which is when you get a buildup of one of the muscle bellies. So we got to work those knots out. Now what happens when we get those knots is you have referred pain. So for example, you can have a knot somewhere in one of your arm muscles and that can cause you to have pain in your fingertips. That would be referral from a trigger point. That's what we're going to be working on today. I've been practicing here in New York City for four years. I went to New York Chiropractic College and before that, Syracuse University. You can find me on [PH] HolisticHospitalsNYC.com. So, I'm going to ask you to please come back and we're going to be going over trigger points in the lower extremities. What we're going to do is we're going to find out how to locate them, and then we're going to find out how to fix them.
