Regenerative Orthopedics for Muscular Pain
Muscular pain often stems from tight muscles that develop “trigger points” – painful knots caused by overuse, poor posture, or inactivity. While tight muscles alone may not always lead to discomfort, these trigger points can result in significant pain and stiffness, limiting mobility and quality of life.
Dr. Stephen Matta at Meeting Point Health offers cutting-edge solutions to effectively address muscular pain. With a combination of peptide therapy and trigger point injections, Dr. Matta targets the root cause of your discomfort. Trigger point injections work by relieving the tension in the affected muscles, while peptide therapy promotes healing, reduces inflammation, and restores muscle health. Don’t let muscular pain hold you back—experience long-lasting relief with Dr. Matta’s expert care!
What causes muscular pain?
Muscle strain: Muscle strain often occurs after a workout or exertion of some kind. The muscle will become fatigued and slowly start to hurt more intensely until eventually it becomes very painful and stiff – this is the classic symptom of a strain.
Muscle spasms: Muscle spasms can occur on their own or as a result of muscle strain. They are typically very sudden and painful, coming on without warning and leaving just as quickly. Trigger points can be caused by muscle spasms or may be associated with them.
Poor posture: Poor posture puts a lot of stress on muscles that are overused in order to keep balance and this can often cause trigger points. Tight muscles from poor posture is especially common among those who spend long hours sitting down at desks every day for work or school.
Lack of physical activity: Those who do not engage in regular physical activity will typically have tight muscles as a result . Over time these tight muscles will develop trigger points which may cause pain and discomfort.
Symptoms of muscular pain
Aching or Throbbing Pain: Persistent discomfort in the affected muscles.
Stiffness: Difficulty moving or reduced flexibility in the muscle group.
Tenderness: Increased sensitivity when pressing on the affected area.
Muscle Weakness: Feeling of reduced strength in the muscle, even without activity.
Soreness After Activity: Muscles may feel sore or tender following physical exertion.
Symptoms of a trigger point
Localized Knots or Lumps: Palpable tight spots or nodules in the muscle tissue.
Referred Pain: Pain that radiates to other areas, often distant from the actual trigger point.
Tightness or Spasms: Persistent muscle tension or involuntary contractions in the area.
Reduced Range of Motion: Difficulty moving joints or limbs due to restricted muscle function.
Painful Sensations During Activity: Trigger points may intensify pain when the muscle is engaged.
Headaches or Tension Pain: Trigger points in neck or shoulder muscles can lead to tension headaches.
How to find relief from muscular pain?
Muscular pain treatment options in philadelphia
Acupuncture with stimulation combines traditional acupuncture techniques with modern electrical stimulation to provide effective relief for muscular pain. During the treatment, Dr. Matta inserts thin acupuncture needles into specific points along the muscles and connects them to a gentle electrical current. This combination enhances the therapeutic effects by increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and relaxing tight muscles.
The electrical stimulation helps to break up knots, release trigger points, and promote the body’s natural healing process, providing relief from pain and improving mobility. This innovative therapy is safe, minimally invasive, and highly effective for treating a range of conditions, including chronic muscular pain, tension, and injuries. Acupuncture with stimulation offers a holistic solution to restore muscle function and support long-term recovery.

How does Peptide Therapy work for chronic back pain?
At Meeting Point Health, Dr. Stephen Matta uses peptide therapy to target the root causes of chronic back pain, such as inflammation and tissue damage. Peptides like BPC-157 and Thymosin Beta-4 (TB-4) promote healing by reducing inflammation, enhancing blood flow, and repairing damaged tissues.
BPC-157 supports ligament, tendon, and muscle recovery, while TB-4 aids in reducing stiffness and improving flexibility. This safe, non-invasive therapy provides lasting relief, improving mobility and overall back health without relying on medications or surgery. Dr. Matta tailors treatment to help you move freely and live pain-free.
Does Meeting Point Health accept insurance for back pain treatment?
Meeting Point Health does not accept insurance.
Our practitioners and staff fully understand and empathize with the challenges that patients face as they make financial decisions for proper health care. Our practice is very different from a conventional medical practice in many ways, but the time spent with each patient is usually 30-90 minutes. Visits with a physician covered by insurance generally allow for less than 10 minutes in total! Conventional medical practices that take insurance maintain brief office visits and high patient loads for this reason. We cannot provide the expert care that every one of our patients deserves under those circumstances.
Insurance also dictates the types of treatments and order of treatments patients can receive for a particular condition.
Opting out of insurance allows the patient and the doctor to maintain their medical autonomy, which is imperative to ensure you get the right treatment at the right time and the right dose.
Can I get an insurance reimbursement?
