Yard Work & Gardening: Alleviate Muscle Pain

Yard work and gardening can leave you with aching muscles, and Dr. Phillips Chiropractic Nutrition and Wellness in San Antonio is here to help with chiropractic treatment for your sore muscles. This can be a one-time solution for muscle strain or an ongoing approach to relieving chronic pain. Your chiropractor may suggest soft tissue therapy, chiropractic adjustments, or a combination of treatments to help alleviate your discomfort.

Muscle Pain

Soft tissue therapy for muscle pain includes a combination of chiropractic massage therapy and strength-building exercises to reduce future painful muscle flare-ups. Hot/cold therapy may also be incorporated into your wellness plan to relieve your achy muscles after yard work and gardening. At Dr. Phillips Chiropractic Nutrition and Wellness, we offer several types of alternative treatments, including:

• Cold laser therapy
• Spinal decompression therapy
• Rehabilitative exercises and nutritional support for muscles.

Chiropractic Adjustment

With this type of adjustment to ease pain after you work in the yard or garden, your chiropractor offers a solution that can combine spinal adjustment, stretches, and exercises to help you get rid of the discomfort and keep it from coming back. The spinal adjustment involves gentle joint manipulation and can help reduce pain and restore your range of motion.

Some people notice immediate relief after spinal manipulation, while others find it takes longer for the pain to go away. In addition to aches after yard work and gardening, there are some common conditions that are often treated with this type of spinal adjustment, including:

• Back pain
• Headaches
• Neck pain
• Sciatica
