Muscle Cramps & Spasms Treatment in Jersey
At The Wellness Centre (Castle Quay), our Chiropractic and Massage Team can help with the treatment of muscle cramps and spasms. Both therapies play a useful role in reducing or preventing muscle cramps, though they work in slightly different ways. For best results, we recommend a combination of the two.
Chiropractic Care for Muscle Cramps & Spasms
Chiropractic treatment focuses on the alignment and function of the spine and nervous system, which can indirectly influence muscle health.
How Chiropractic Helps with Cramps:
Improved Nerve Function: Mechanical dysfunctions in the spine can sometimes irritate or compress nerves that control muscles. Correcting these dysfunctions may improve nerve signals and reduce abnormal muscle contractions.
Better Blood Flow: Proper spinal biomechanical function supports optimal circulation, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to muscles while removing waste products that contribute to cramping.
Restored Joint Mobility: When joints move freely, muscles don’t have to work as hard to compensate, reducing overuse and strain that can trigger cramps.
Postural Balance: Our Chiropractic Team works to correct posture and gait issues that lead to uneven muscle loading and chronic tension.
Massage Therapy for Muscle Cramps & Spasms
Massage directly targets the muscles and soft tissues, providing both immediate and longer-term relief.
How Massage Helps with Cramps:
Muscle Relaxation: Massage increases local circulation and reduces muscle tightness, which can quickly ease a cramp and prevent future ones.
Improved Blood and Lymph Flow: This helps flush out lactic acid and other metabolic byproducts that contribute to cramping.
Stretching and Flexibility: Massage can lengthen tight muscles and improve elasticity, reducing the likelihood of spasms.
Stress Reduction: Since stress can trigger or worsen muscle tension, massage’s calming effects can indirectly reduce cramping frequency.
The Perfect Combination
Using both chiropractic and massage together often provides the best results:
- Massage prepares the muscles for adjustment by relaxing them
- Chiropractic adjustments then correct underlying mechanical or nerve issues
- Together, they improve both the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system, ultimately removing the cause of the muscle cramps
