Why Do Your Muscles Ache?
ATTENTION BACK PAIN SUFFERERS!
FREE BACK PAIN WORKSHOP
Muscle pain is one of the most common forms of pain. It frequently develops as a result of injury or overuse and can develop almost anywhere in the body. It is most common in the arms, shoulders, legs, and back and neck. Sometimes, muscle pain will come and go, developing and then quickly subsiding before becoming a long-term issue. But this is not always the case. A sprain or strain of a ligament, which are the fibrous tissues that connect bones and joints, can cause long-term pain if correct healing does not occur. The most common issues of muscle pain are related to injuries, especially: • Neck and back injury • Shoulder injury • Sprain or strain injury • Stress from overuse or tension In some situations, muscle pain can also be caused by: • Certain medication usage • Fibromyalgia In situations like these your pain may need to be addressed by a medical professional. Physical therapists are able to address the underlying cause of pain in many chronic conditions, such as in the cases of certain autoimmune diseases and fibromyalgia. Most aches and pains are temporary and generally last 1-3 days. However, once muscle pain begins to go past 3 days without changing, or you feel the same aches and pains repeatedly, it’s time to give us a call as there may be an underlying problem such as muscle imbalance, or stiff tissues and joints. • Autoimmune disease • Other chronic concerns

“I attended Dr. Nestor’s workshop and knew he could help me. The pain down the back of my left leg to my foot was so severe I’d cry every day. Within the first couple of weeks I felt a difference. I looked forward to coming here because I knew it was working. Now I can stand and sit with no more pain in my leg. The staff is wonderful and I will miss coming for therapy. Thank you for your help in allowing me to live with no pain.” - Debra Caruso
