Q. What is the difference between a segmental dysfunction and a trigger point injury?

 

A. A segmental dysfunction, representing a swollen facet joint, is deeper than a trigger point which tends to be more superficial and more mobile. Some practitioners believe that segmental dysfunction is also a manifestation of an internal visceral problem possibly involving the lungs, intestines, or other organ structure.
