Muscle Spasms
Muscle spasms range from
persistent and sustained to brief and alternating.
Wherever a spasm falls in that range, they are all painful.
Muscles are maintained with a certain tone-not too tight and not
too relaxed. The brain controls how the muscles work.
With activity, the brain innervates the voluntary muscles to
function and support our movement. Frequently, muscle
spasms are the result
of interference between the brain and the muscles.
If there is misalignment of the
spinal bones, nerve tissue can be compressed or stretched.
When this happens, there is a decrease in the ability of the
brain to transfer information to the muscles and organs of the
body. Without the proper information, the muscles do not
know how to react. If the misalignment is not corrected,
the conditions for recurring muscle spasms continue to exist.
Chiropractic addresses the cause
of the muscle spasms by releasing the nerve pressure and
allowing the nerves to transmit the brain’s controlling messages
to the muscles. The muscles can then regain normal
function and the symptoms of muscle spasms clear up.
