Muscle Tension

Muscle tension is very common these days and it can vary from slight sense of tightness to agonising pain. If muscle tension is anything but transient, it can gradually start to affect the joints that those muscles control. This may result in abnormal functioning of the joint or misalignment of the bone, as tight muscles are pulling it off normal alignment. When the proper function of the joints is restored, soft tissues relax, as they can once again contract and relax normally. In most cases spinal manipulative therapy together with specific stretches produce maximum results and can prevent problems from recurring.
