Symptoms Of Muscle Spasms
Muscle Spasms occur when a muscle involuntary and forcibly contracts and cannot relax. For some, the cause of a muscle spasm can be minor like a mild strain, while others can be serious underlying conditions.*
Muscle spasms can be caused by improper stretching, dehydration, nerve damage (sciatica, diabetes), stress and anxiety or spinal cord or brain injury. Stretching exercises can help relieve spasticity. Your doctor may recommend physical therapy or massage. Prescription medications for the condition may include muscle relaxants, sedatives, and nerve blockers. Surgery is used in some cases.*
Your Different Treatment Options
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a form of Chinese medicine aimed at balancing the body and relieving points of pain. This treatment option aims at reducing inflammation, relaxing the body, while also increasing blood flow. Individuals who suffer from tendonitis or muscle spasms, Acupuncture can manage symptoms especially after multiple sessions.*
Tui Na
This manipulative therapy massage can reduce pain, deal with underlying problems and free the joints to restore movement. Our specialists will carefully manipulate your soft tissue and joints to stimulate your acupressure points and help your chi flow through your body in order to help lessen the pain you may feel.*
Cupping Therapy
Cupping is said to increase blood flow where it’s applied, and stimulate the body’s “natural energy,” or qi. Sections of skin are suctioned for several minutes, leaving round purple or red bruises on the surface.*
Dietary Therapy
The plan helps you control your blood sugar (glucose), manage your weight and control heart disease risk factors, such as high blood pressure and high blood fats. When you eat extra calories and fat, your body creates an undesirable rise in blood glucose. If blood glucose isn’t kept in check, it can lead to serious problems, such as a high blood glucose level (hyperglycemia) that, if persistent, may lead to long-term complications, such as nerve, kidney and heart damage.*
Exercise
Utilizing proper form and technique when performing physical activity is important. For tendonitis sufferers, the right kind of movement can go a long way. When you sit down with one of our doctors, we will help make an exercise regimen as part of our lifestyle counseling that will help alleviate symptoms. Light exercises such as stretching the afflicted areas daily, small amounts of weightlifting and 20 minutes of cardio per day may help relieve some of the strain on your body.*
