If you have recently suffered a pulled muscle from a work injury, sports injury, or such, you know too well the pain associated with it. You can get relief in the form of chiropractic care, so if you are in Imperial, MO, make sure to give our chiropractor at Advanced Family Chiropractic and Rehabilitation a visit and experience non-invasive assistance.

Symptoms of a Pulled Muscle

When you pull a muscle, you’ll know it. There will be immediate pain on first tearing or straining the muscle, followed by mild pain that lasts for several days after the injury occurs. You may also experience a limited range of motion in the body part whose muscle has been injured, most commonly the shoulder, hamstring, lower back, or neck.

How Our Chiropractor Can Help with a Pulled Muscle

Once you arrive at our clinic for care, we will ask you a few questions and perform a manual examination of your spinal column. This will be the first step despite where the muscle you pulled is, and this is because a misalignment in the spine might be the root cause of your other issues. Also, because the spinal column provides support for the whole body and also serves as protection for the central nervous system, it follows that a misalignment there can impact these functions and predispose you to straining a muscle as the body tries to compensate for the misalignment.

Following our findings, our chiropractor will realign your spine. We may also provide massage therapy or instrument-aided adjustments on the injured spot to promote faster healing, and decrease pain and inflammation.
