Muscle Pain

Muscle Complaints can take many forms and can be acute or chronic. Some examples include:

  • Sprains

  • Strains

  • Full thickness tears

  • Tension and tightness

  • Weakness

Muscle complaints are a broad category of injury so it is hard to give specific advice without first examining the patient. Depending on the cause of the problem we can help find a solution.

For most patients a combination of therapies achieves the best results. Often we use soft tissue manipulation, chiropractic adjustments, activity modification, strengthening exercise, stretches and general lifestyle / sporting advice.
