Magnetic Health Therapy - Muscle Tension
Muscle tension and muscle spasms can affect your ability to function. For instance, many people who spend long hours on the computer experience tension and pain in their neck, upper back, shoulders and trapezius region. This can cause discomfort and if left untreated, may lead to chronic pain. Of course, muscle spasms can be a result of many factors including overuse injuries (repetitive stress injuries), accidents, slip and fall injuries, sports injuries, work injuries, auto injuries and stress. The presence of trigger points are normally associated with muscle tension.
Definition:
Muscle tension (muscle spasm) is the result of involuntary muscle contractions which lead to acute or chronic pain.
Symptoms:
1. Tenderness when pressing on the involved area
2. The presence of trigger points
3. Feeling of "knots" in the involved area
4. Pain and "tightness"
The following are some of the possible causes for muscle tension:
1. Muscle overuse (example: typing on the computer for prolonged periods)
2. Fatigue
3. Stress
4. Injury
5. Dehydration
6. Heavy exercise
7. Systemic illness - Diabetes, Anemia
8. Multiple Sclerosis
9. Medications
Complications:
Left untreated, muscle tension can result in chronic pain. In addition, muscle tension can affect blood flow by constricting blood vessels and reducing blood flow to the soft tissues, including muscles, tendons and nerves in the back.
MAGNETIC HEALTH THERAPY: CAN IT HELP DECREASE MUSCLE TENSION?
Don't let the effects of muscle tension keep you from enjoying your favorite activities. Magnetic therapy can help with pain relief. In fact, research studies have demonstrated that magnets can improve blood flow and thus accelerate the healing process. Magnetic health therapy can be an effective treatment of choice without the side effects!
