Whether you are in the final stages of preparing for a marathon, recovering from one, or maintaining your customary running schedule as we head into the winter months, your muscles may be screaming a message at you that you are struggling to decode. We have a solution.
Try acupuncture for your muscle spasms, pain, strain, and general muscular tension.
Acupuncture can help with many problems, and one of the most common is muscle spasms, tension, and tightness. Knots and spasms are caused by muscles that fail to relax, that literally seize up and stay that way. Intense training, unusual exertion, or tight, cold muscles slamming down on hard pavement can cause these problems to flair up.
Acupuncture works to increase circulation, decrease inflammation, alleviate pain, and disrupt those clenching, tight, muscular holding patterns. By manipulating both the connective tissue and motor neurons in the muscle tissue that affects contraction and release, acupuncture re-sets the muscular balance.
