Myofascial Pain is a rarely recognized pain generator for both acute and chronic pain in dogs. It is both defined by and diagnosed by the presence of muscle pain originating from myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) within the muscles.

It is not possible to achieve designed goals of physical rehabilitation in the canine patient without adequate pain management. Often in these patients, pain is not only generated from the original injury or trauma of surgery but also additionally from the functional impairment(s) brought about by the primary issues.
