What is a pulled muscle in Baton Rouge LA?

A pulled muscle is exactly what it sounds like when your muscle has been pulled, or stretched beyond its physical capacity. Resulting in tears in the muscle fibers which causes pain, inflammation, tightness, and swelling.

Pulled muscles are most often associated with athletes or sportspeople. However, pulled muscles can equally affect the sedentary and elderly. ‘Weekend warriors’ are among the most common group of people who experience pulled muscles.

What causes a pulled muscle?

The cause of pulled muscles is very simple when a muscle is stretched further than it is capable. Explosive movements such as running, jumping, and throwing are often involved with muscle tears. However, at Core Chiropractic we are more interested in what made you susceptible to a muscle tear in the first place.

At Core Chiropractic we have fantastic results helping people heal from pulled muscles. We focus on improving spinal and joint alignment. This not only helps you recover quickly, it also helps to prevent future issues with pulled muscles.

Here is how:

All of the muscles in your body attach to your bones, this is how we move! When a muscle contracts it pulls on the bone creating movement. However, when your spinal alignment is all twisted up and off balance, this causes many muscles of your body to be under constant tension in order to compensate.

Muscles that are under constant tension are far more likely to tear or pull when placed under the added stress of exercise or explosive movements.

Improving spinal and joint alignment it takes tension and pressure off your muscles, allowing you to heal quickly while also preventing future injuries.

How do we at Core Chiropractic help you with a pulled muscle?

Pain medications are commonly used to deal with pulled muscles, but unfortunately, this approach only masks the symptoms rather than fix the underlying cause.

Our focus is correcting the cause of your pain, so you can experience lasting results, great health, and prevent future issues all without the nasty side effects of long-term pain medication use.

We do this by improving your spinal alignment and posture, using a gentle, non-invasive chiropractic technique.
