Knot can be builds up of tension and/or inflammation in muscles. Adjustments are very helping at helping your body to unwind those knots, but I absolutely love combining the adjustments with massage and/or acupuncture or dry needling for quicker results.
Yes, yes, yes! Poor biomechanics, diet, flawed tracking of the muscles, etcetera, are issues that must be addressed to keep your problems at bay.
Yes. Unequivocally yes. We are muscular-skeletal experts.
Chiropractors can absolutely help with muscle knots. Muscle knots usually occur from either direct trauma to the muscle such as a contusion or a strain or cumulative tension from being too tight for too long. Irritation of the nerve that innervates the muscle is one reason for increased muscular tone. The Chiropractic physician should find the cause of the increased tension in the muscle and resolve that problem through a combination of stretching, muscle balance work and manipulation of the corresponding joints to decrease the muscle tone.

Some chiropractors can help with muscle knots. I specialize in a specific form of chiropractic trigger point therapy, which is great for eliminating muscle knots and trigger points. You want to ask if a chiropractor does soft tissue work. Soft tissue means muscle.
The knots are called trigger points. Trigger points occur due to irritated nerves passing through muscle. In order to eliminate the trigger point, pressure needs to be removed from the nerve. Chiropractors do an exceptional job at removing nerve interference therefore correcting the trigger point.
Chiropractors can definitely help with muscle knots. Most chiropractors employ a technique called myofascial which alleviates muscle tension and increases blood flow. In addition, the chiropractic manipulation is effective in allowing the muscles to relax and improve nerve energy to the involved muscle group. So, you would benefit from chiropractic treatment if you have knots in your muscles.
Absolutely. Chiropractors are skilled at tissue work as well. A popular muscular technique is called Active Release Technique or ART. You could search for a chiropractor who provides this therapy.
Of course!
Yes, Chiropractors definitely can help with muscle knots. That is a common condition that comes into our offices.
Yes it is effective for this
Yes.
Yes they can. Tight muscles are usually a symptom of dysfunction in the nearby joints of the spine. Chiropractors correct these joints as well as release any tight muscles.
