Newton Chiropractic and Wellness Centre, in Newton, is offering free seminars this month on the trigger point release technique for relieving pain. Dr. John Coleman will lead these presentations at 7 p.m. on March 7 and 21.

Trigger points, also known as muscle knots, are places in the muscle that feel tight and uncomfortable. “Some pain may seem too minor to call in to a doctor, yet too annoying to ignore, and trigger point release is one useful and safe solution,” says Coleman. “It’s fascinating to see how the gentle touch of this technique can be so effective in reducing pain and tension in the body.”

Coleman, who has been practicing chiropractic for 16 years, will review the basics of trigger point release before demonstrating techniques and skills that are easy to do with a partner. “The most important tool in helping patients is education, and these seminars will teach people useful skills and simple techniques for relieving pain,” he says.

Attendees are asked to bring a partner to the event.

Cost: Free. Location: Newton Chiropractic and Wellness Centre, 345 Boylston St., Ste. 300, Newton. For more information and registration, call 617-964-3332 or visit WellAdjusted.com.
