Trigger figure is certainly not one of the more common diagnoses I have had to face over my career but it truly exemplifies why the existing model fails at addressing pain in most cases throughout the body.

I am often confronted by people who say that they just had a surgical procedure and that their pain has been reduced and therefore the surgical procedure can be considered a success.
