Standard & not: This pain is looked at by most mds as a chronic condition to be treated with physical therapy, pain meds, nerve blocks, etc., often with poor results & life-long pain.Osteopathic docs (who can do everything mds can do & more) consider myofascial pain often quite treatable by manipulation to relax soft-tissues, remove strains which pinch nerves or block lymph flow or other methods like prolotherapy.
