Chiropractic Relieves Muscle Spasms!

It’s a beautiful morning for a jog; the birds are chirping, the sun is shinning and all is right with the world. Then—with out warning— your pleasant reverie turns into a nightmare as the calf muscles in your right leg spasm. The pain brings you to your knees.

Muscle spasms are painful, debilitating and unpredictable. These sudden contractions may occur anytime, anywhere and to anyone. Fortunately, Dr. Smith is here to help.

Although every muscle in the body is susceptible to spasms, the most common areas of attack include the calves, feet, hands and back. Instigators consist of spinal misalignment, drugs and dehydration. Lack of— or improper stretching is another causative factor.

The Spinal Connection

chiropractic releives muscle spasms When spinal movement is restricted or spinal bones (vertebrae) become misaligned, the result is a common condition known as vertebral subluxation. Dr. Smith can correct vertebral subluxations with safe and gentle maneuvers called chiropractic adjustments.

Other body parts are also subject to misalignment, a condition known as joint subluxation.

Vertebral and joint misalignment is linked with a myriad of health concerns, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches and backaches. Research indicates that these conditions often go hand-in-hand with muscle spasms.

Bones that are slightly out of place disrupt the natural balance of the muscles attached to them. Dr. Smith explains that this disruption triggers muscle spasms. Conversely, muscle spasms due to overuse of improper posture may pull bones slightly out of place, spawning subluxations. In addition to pulling on bones, sore muscles create restriction of movement— another major risk factor for subluxations.

If a Spasm Occurs …

When a muscle spasm strikes, heed its warning. Listen to your body and cuyuna family chiropractic dr murray smith dc make and appointment for a chiropractic checkup immediately. Why is this so important? Because doctors of chiropractic don’t just treat symptoms; they focus on the underlying cause of health problems.

In addition to chiropractic care, the doctor may suggest one or more of the following all-natural ways to calm and soothe frazzled muscles:

Ice & Heat — Cold causes muscles to relax and reduces swelling. Heat can exacerbate symptoms in a situation of acute pain. Before self treating, check with the doctor to learn whether ice or heat is better for your specific injury.

Supplements— Pineapple enzymes, ginko biloba or japanese quince work as anti-inflammatory or muscle relief. Insufficient levels of vitamin D and calcium may also trigger muscle spasms.
As with any supplementation therapy, however, talk to your doctor of chiropractic first. Never self-medicate even with seemingly harmless supplements.
