Chiropractic Care to Reduce Muscle Tension

If you suffer from chronic pain due to muscle tension, you’re likely frustrated and ready for a solution.  Chiropractic care may not be the first avenue you’ve tried for relief, but it is one of the most viable options in alleviating pain.

What Is Muscle Tension?

Muscle tension can be defined as the condition in which muscles of the body remain semi-contracted for an extended period and is typically caused by the physiological effects of stress which can lead to episodes of back pain.   Some common symptoms that are seen in patients experiencing muscle tension are:

1. Frequent and ongoing pain
2. Chronic tight and strained muscles
3. Muscle spasms
4. Muscle twitches or “clamping” up

What Causes Muscle Tension?

The most common cause of muscle tension is stress, yet another and less common known cause is poor posture.  If you work from an office and find yourself slumped over your desk, you are likely experiencing muscle tension as well.  We all know our individual stressors, such as work, finances, or family issues may lead to chronic muscle tension.

Finding an outlet for stress relief or management is essential.  In addition, fixing your posture by becoming more aware of it throughout the day is important.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Although you may be able to alleviate the root cause (stress or poor posture) mentioned above, it is likely they will return and wreak havoc on your nerves again.  Utilizing warm compresses or heating pads can help relieve some of the pain momentarily, but addressing the systemic issue through stress management and regular chiropractic adjustments is the best fix.
