How Can a Chiropractor Help with Pulled Muscles?

If you are frequently moving throughout daily life or perform strenuous activities, you will eventually experience a pulled or strained muscle at some point. A pulled muscle is usually accompanied by abrupt pain and inability to move the affected area at all. Though a pulled muscle can be minor, it can become a serious problem if left untreated. Our team at Advanced Wellness Centre in Richmond has the necessary expertise to treat and relieve pain from pulled muscles without the need for invasive procedures or pain relievers.

How We Can Help

Our chiropractors are well-versed in treating pulled muscles and the strain that follows. Our objective is to eliminate any joint malfunctions that are hindering the normal functioning of your musculoskeletal system. Our chiropractors will begin by assessing the extent of the muscle damage. Depending on the injury, we can opt to use a combination of treatments.

Soft Tissue Techniques and Treatments

Our chiropractors can use several soft tissue techniques to improve blood ciarculation, repair damaged tissues, and strengthen the pulled muscles. One of the more common techniques is trigger point therapy. These musculoskeletal manipulations involve applying a certain amount of pressure on trigger points of your muscles to create significant analgesic effects. Depending on the extent of the damage, our team may decide to employ other modalities like:

  • Cold Therapy – Relieves pain and reduces inflammation
  • Heat Therapy – Increases blood circulation, thus reducing stiffness and increasing mobility
  • Electrical Stimulation – Uses low voltage current to reduce inflammation and pain
