How Can a Chiropractor Help with Pulled Muscles?

Our team at Capitol Rehab of Crofton takes pride in our ability to efficiently treat pulled muscles. Here’s a look at how we do it.

What Causes Pulled Muscles?

A pulled muscle occurs when a muscle is strained beyond its limits, causing damage to the muscle fibers. When this happens, your body produces scar tissue in the pulled area, which leads to more pain. If untreated, muscular scar tissue makes the muscle feel stiff and weak. This limitation of the muscle due to scar tissue makes re-injury of the muscle more likely.

Pulled muscles are commonly caused by quick or sudden movements. They are more common if you do not stretch properly before exercise. If you have not given your muscles adequate rest between workouts, they are also more likely to be pulled. A pulled muscle can also occur as the result of a whiplash injury, or a sports injury.

Pulled Muscles Treatment

Chiropractic care is an effective, drug-free method of pulled muscle treatment. Through a combination of manual adjustment, massage therapy, and physical therapy, we can break down painful scar tissue and restore mobility to the injured area. By increasing the range of motion of the injured area, we can relieve pain and prevent re-injury. The exact combination of chiropractic care we offer for pulled muscle treatment depends entirely on the muscle injured and the condition of the patient. After the initial examination, we will develop a chiropractic care plan tailored to your needs.
