I have been having trouble for quite a while, few years. Was going to chiropractor who would give me adjustments L 4 and L5 and helped. Went to massage therapist and she would massage the knots telling me they have a lot of toxins in cells. Have had back problems and now recently had an implant spinal nerve stimulator. Seems this has made my knots worse. The implant wasn't for that but though it was one of the things that would be helped. Could it be from circulation problem also?
Brief Answer:
follow up .
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
* Usually the superficial and lumps just below skin, indicates non circulatory reasons
as neurofibroma or else.
* If circulatory reasons are underlying, the lumps are deep, where doppler ultrasound can help great.
Hope I have answered your question.
