A pulled muscle can be a real pain. They may occur from sports injuries, slip and fall accidents, heavy or repetitive lifting, or bending, among other ways. They can take a long time to recover. At Care Chiropractic Center, Dr. Weiner has over 27 years of experience providing West Broward County residents a natural way to speed up the recovery process of a pulled muscle and getting you back to living pain-free.

Symptoms of a Pulled Muscle

When you pull a muscle, you will likely experience immediate pain followed by the limited range of motion of that muscle, spasming, and sometimes swelling, redness, and bruising. It often occurs in the neck, lower back, and in the arms and legs.

Chiropractic Care for a Pulled Muscle

After taking an in-depth medical history and doing a thorough examination, if a pulled muscle diagnosis is made, Dr. Weiner assesses the information obtained to create a personalized treatment plan best suited to your individual needs. Often this includes manipulation of the tissues and joints to increase mobility, and massage therapy to reduce tension and promote blood flow. It may also include ultrasound therapy, low-level laser therapy, and electrical muscle stimulation. The goal is to increase function and speed up the healing process.

At Home Care for a Pulled Muscle

Protect, Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate (when possible) and Stabilize
