"It's just a pulled muscle."

Every patient who is seeing a Chiropractor for the first time utters these words. Pulled muscles do not trigger spasm over half of your body all by themselves. They also do not last more than a month.

Yes you might have pulled a muscle. You pulled it so hard that it tilted your vertebrae out of it's happy place.
Now that bone in your back is stuck, and it's putting pressure on the nerve coming out of your spine.

Not only does that nerve send pain signals to the muscle you pulled and cause it to spasm as tightly as possible, it sends pain signals to every muscle in the region and causes severe spasm in all of them.

The muscle you pulled may heal in a day or two, but the situation it triggered is going to cause you serious problems for a long time if you don't seek the proper care.

Chiropractic care is extremely important in curtailing the length and severity of such a condition.

Sincerely,

Dr.Dale Castro, Chiropractor
