How Can a Chiropractor Help Pulled Muscles?

A pulled muscle is usually the result of overuse or from abnormally moving the body. This can cause the muscle to stretch in a way that it normally wouldn’t. That stretching can cause micro-tearing in the muscles, which can be painful.

When people think of a chiropractor, they think of spinal adjustments that can help with things like back pain, neck pain, and headaches. They might not think about how a chiropractor can help them with a pulled muscle. Our chiropractors at Optimal Health Chiropractic and Massage in Edmonds can help you find relief from pulled muscles.

Treatment for a Pulled Muscle

Chiropractors do more than just spinal adjustments. Soft tissue adjustments can be used to treat the pulled muscle and provide pain relief. These treatments manipulate the soft tissues around the injury in a way that increases blood flow to the area. This means that they receive more oxygen and can heal faster.

At Optimal Health Chiropractic and Massage, we also have a massage program that can help address pulled muscles. This program, coupled with our chiropractic care, can help you to find pain relief without having to rely on pain medication or invasive procedures like surgery.

Once your pain has been reduced or eliminated, we can focus on ensuring that your body is aligned and ready for future physical activities. This can improve your range of motion, prevent further injuries, and avoid pain. Chiropractic care and massage are very effective treatment methods for dealing with pulled muscles.
