Chiropractors can often help with muscle knots through various techniques they use, such as manual adjustments, spinal manipulations, and soft tissue therapies. Muscle knots, also known as myofascial trigger points, are areas of tight and contracted muscle fibers that can cause pain and discomfort. We are trained to identify and treat these knots to alleviate pain and restore function.
Yes, Chiropractors are specialist with muscles and joint pain.
Yes they can! You will just need to find the right chiropractor that does muscle work as well in their practice. Look for a sports chiropractor or a chiropractor certified in ART. Thank you for your time!
That can best be determined with a complete evaluation with a chiropractor.
Hello! That is a great question! Look for chiropractors that work in Airrosti Rehab centers, or chiropractors that do muscle work and rehab with their treatments. that will help you not only decrease or get rid of those muscles but also teach you what to do so they won't come back. Best of luck!
Spinal manipulation can affect the somatosensory evoked potential ( https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17137836/) which results in inhibition or relaxation of the muscles around the area manipulated. I also encourage exercise to increase blood flow to tight muscles.
