A muscle spasm can be debilitating and cause pain and reduced function.
A muscle injury is called a strain the severity of which is graded 1 to 3. If the muscle is torn it is referred to as a rupture. Following an injury to a muscle there is often a Trigger Point (TP) or “myofascial trigger point”. This can last long after the injury itself has healed and can cause sensitivity in the muscle and pain referred to another part of the body.
A chiropractor can diagnose TPs through the history of injury and through manipulation of the muscle. Often the muscle has been injured due to underlying joint or nerve dysfunction and this can be successfully corrected by specific joint adjustments to release joint restriction and reduce nerve pressure to allow the muscle to relax over time.
