What Is a Pulled Muscle, and What Are the Symptoms?
A pulled muscle, also known as a muscle strain, is simply a torn tendon or ligament. Muscle strains usually happen from overuse or when you stretch your muscles beyond their range of motion. Athletes are likely to experience a pulled muscle, but you may also strain muscles while at home, at work, or on sidewalks. Also, if you lift heavy objects, it’s not uncommon to suffer micro-tears in your muscles.
How can you tell you have a pulled muscle? Here are the symptoms of muscle strain:
- Pain while moving or even resting
- Limited mobility
- Soreness
- Joint weakness
- Bruising
If you suspect you have a pulled muscle, don’t let pain deteriorate your quality of life. Instead, book an appointment with our chiropractor, and for help with relief.
How Our Chiropractor May Help with a Pulled Muscle
Spinal manipulation can help improve your body’s self-healing mechanism, which may be beneficial for your pulled muscle. More specifically, manipulating the joints around the affected muscle may improve blood flow and reduces inflammation for faster healing.
Massage therapy improves blood circulation to the injured muscle by ensuring oxygen and other essential nutrients reach the injured muscle. After a couple of massage therapy sessions, you will notice that you have reduced pain and improved mobility.
