Our Broomfield Chiropractors Can Treat Your Pulled Muscles

Whether you are active or have a sedentary lifestyle, you are a candidate for a pulled muscle. Also known as a strained muscle, this common painful condition happens when your muscles have been stretched beyond its natural limits. A pulled muscle commonly results in pain, stiffness, and inflammation.

While rest and over-the-counter medication can help alleviate the symptoms, this treatment doesn't treat the underlying cause of the pulled muscle. Because the root cause of the condition isn't treated, the symptoms regularly come back. Fortunately, our chiropractors at Lifetime Health and Wellness can help you find relief and treat the central source of your pulled muscles. Let's take a closer look at how our chiropractors help treat pulled muscles for our patients in Westminster and Broomfield.

Active Release Technique for Pulled Muscles

When it comes to pulled muscles, few chiropractic treatments are more effective than Active Release Therapy (ART). As the gold standard for soft tissue treatment, ART can help heal muscle injury. By combining chiropractic manipulation and movement, the ART technique thrives on identifying, isolating, and targeting the impacted area, which breaks up the scar tissue.

Active release therapy works to promote improved blood flow and expedited healing of the injuries. It can be used to treat pulled muscles throughout your body. At the same time, ART can be used to treat ligaments, nerves, and tendons. ART is proven to provide the relief you deserve.

Other Techniques Used for Pulled Muscles

There are several other modalities our chiropractors can employ to help you find relief. One method is the deep tissue massage that combines movement with pressure. Another technique used to treat pulled muscles is the manipulation of the spine. Spinal manipulation improves posture and alignment and reduces pain. The Graston Technique is very similar to ART but uses a handheld instrument to improve blood flow and target adhesions. Our chiropractors in Westminster and Broomfield may also use trigger point dry needling and other modalities to help you find relief.
