At Chiro Cleveland, our focus is on treating muscles because muscle tension is the leading cause of painful conditions.
As we go through our day, we commonly do the same activities for long hours at a time. These repetitive stress injuries occur in a variety of different activities such as sitting for long hours at a desk, bending over repetitively, long distance running, lifting at the gym with improper form and standing for long hours. As time goes on, these muscles will tighten, causing a stiff feeling. We can usually ignore this stiffness for days or years because it does not fully prevent us from functioning in our day but the pain never truly goes away. That stiffness is a warning signal from our muscles to our brain that this should be fixed.
This stiffness can lead to a spasm if left untreated, which usually means someone "threw their back out". Now this can occur anywhere in the body. Most commonly this scenery plays out as neck pain, mid back pain (between the shoulder blades) or lower back pain. Some of the other common areas are the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, plantar fasciitis, TMJ (Jaw pain) and headaches (migraines).
Since the muscles of the body are a mechanical structure, it makes sense to treat them with a mechanical therapy (manipulation, massage, stretching and exercise). By treating these muscle conditions with chiropractic and massage therapy, you treat the source of the problem.
