How To Get Rid of Muscle Spasms? Home Physical Therapy - Concierge Pain Relief

Muscle spasms are a common problem that can occur due to a variety of reasons, including over-use/repetitive movements, prolonged sitting with poor posture (long airplane flights), dehydration, muscle fatigue, and injury.

Muscle spasms are characterized by involuntary contractions of a muscle or group of muscles, which can cause pain, discomfort, and limited mobility.

Physical therapy is a popular treatment option for muscle spasms and can be an effective way to alleviate symptoms and improve function.

Research has shown that physical therapy can be an effective treatment option for muscle spasms.

A study published in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science found that physical therapy, including manual therapy and exercise therapy, can be effective in reducing pain and improving muscle function in patients with low back pain associated with muscle spasm (1).

Another study published in the Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation found that physical therapy can help improve muscle activation patterns and reduce muscle spasms in patients with spinal cord injury (2).

One of the most effective treatment approaches we use for muscle spasms is manual therapy.
Our physical therapists use hands-on techniques to manipulate the soft tissues and joints surrounding the affected area. Manual therapy can help reduce pain and improve function in patients with muscle spasms.
