Muscle Spasm in Denver

How Does This Happen?

A muscle spasm is an involuntary contraction of a muscle in the body that can be associated with severe pain. There are various causes including;

• overuse,
• hot environments,
• unfamiliar exercises,
• dehydration,
• lack of circulation,
• diabetes,
• anemia, and
• lack of calcium.

What Can I do To Help Myself?

Prevention is the key, this includes warming up before exercising. Simply doing activities at slow speed and avoiding forceful exertion eliminates common muscle spasms.

When joints of the body are out of proper alignment muscles involuntarily contract and cause pain. Our Denver chiropractic techniques gently realign the joints associated with Denver muscle spasms.
