Chiropractic Care for Muscle Spasms

How can we help with muscle spasms?

A muscle spasm is a sudden and involuntary contraction of a muscle or group of muscles. It often feels like a sudden tightening or cramping sensation, causing intense discomfort or pain. Spasms can vary in duration, from a few seconds to several minutes, and may occur sporadically or frequently.

While most muscle spasms are mild and go away on their own, some can be debilitating and worsened by even the slightest movement.

At Well Spine Family Chiropractic, our treatment for muscle spasms starts with incredibly gentle mobilizations. We want to slowly relax the muscle over time instead of overworking the already stressed area. Through gentle adjustments, muscle work, and our flexion-distraction table, we can get you back to your normal with as minimal discomfort as possible.

Our chiropractors can help identify contributing factors such as dehydration, overuse of muscles, muscle fatigue, poor posture, electrolyte imbalances (such as low levels of potassium, calcium, or magnesium), and even neurological conditions. We aim to address the underlying causes of muscle spasms to prevent their recurrence and manage discomfort effectively.
