Overview
Understanding muscle strains
Strains range from mild to more significant and commonly affect the back, neck and limbs. Most improve with time and appropriate care, though a sensible approach to activity helps avoid setbacks.
Depending on assessment, laser therapy may support tissue recovery, with chiropractic care and graded movement helping restore comfortable function.

How we help
Treatments we may consider
After an assessment, we discuss which of these options — alone or combined — may be appropriate for your muscle strains.
We use evidence-based approaches and never promise cures or guaranteed results. If care with us isn't appropriate, or medical evaluation is needed first, we'll tell you.

Muscle Strains questions
Recovery varies with the severity of the strain and the demands you place on the muscle. Many mild strains settle within a few weeks with appropriate care. Your assessment helps set realistic expectations for your situation.
The best next step is an assessment. We review your history and examine how you move, then discuss which options — chiropractic care, spinal decompression, laser therapy or a combination — may be appropriate. If care with us is not suitable, we will tell you.
