Muscle spasms can interfere with just about everything we do. People find that minor muscle spasms come and go, depending on activity. Muscle spasms are harmful when they continue for some time and interfere with daily living and needed sleep.
Muscles are maintained at 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. Additionally, muscles work to move air through our lungs, blood through our heart and food through our digestive system.
Muscle spasms that recur may be a symptom of an underlying condition. Frequently, muscle spasms are the result of interference between the brain and the muscles. The name of the interference is the vertebral subluxation complex.
Leading chiropractic texts indicate, a subluxation is the condition of a spinal bone (vertebra) that has lost proper position or function. Nerve tissue can be compressed or stretched by this misalignment, and normal function decreases. As normal function decreases, other types of damage can occur, including muscle spasm. If the subluxation is not corrected the conditions for recurring muscle spasms continue to exist.
Chiropractic care is the way to remove vertebral subluxations. Chiropractic is a safe and natural branch of healthcare that restores and promotes proper spinal alignment and function of the body. It may well be the way to set you free from long-term muscles spasms. Call us, today, so we may get started.
