Chiropractic Soothes Muscle Aches and Pains While Improving Posture

Chiropractor Chapel Hill, NC

Chiropractic care at the Chapel Hill chiropractic and acupuncture clinics of Dr. Lisa Oskardmay includes many aspects that patients find relaxing, soothing, and overall healing. Preceded by initial examination and diagnosis, Dr. Oskardmay provides massage and spinal adjustments to restore vertebral positioning as well as muscle balance; this dual approach enhances overall treatment effectiveness. Patients learn where their body holds tension while receiving hands-on palpation and thumper massage, as well as activator-assisted segmental spinal adjustment. Chiropractic treatment with massage is as impactful as it is relaxing. Patients requesting acupuncture can receive this beneficial treatment in the same visit, or Dr. Oskardmay can provide acupuncture as a stand-alone treatment.

Muscle Pain Relief & Posture Improvement with Chiropractic Care in Chapel Hill, NC

Tension in muscles occurs due to a combination of factors related to one’s overall health, nervous system, and body mechanics. While also a normal response to physical exertion, muscle tension is worsened by factors such as stress, specific medical conditions, and dehydration. These factors also influence how well and how quickly one’s musculature improves following exertion. Dr. Oskardmay helps patients recognize how their daily activities and nutrition affect muscle tension, and she provides gentle coaching to support change between visits. When patients are aware of their postural tendencies, small shifts can make a huge difference. Following specific spinal alignment correction and realignment, patients learn how to stand, sit, and rest better as their nervous system relaxes and adopts new patterns. Importantly, Dr. Oskardmay educates patients on the impact proper nutrition plays in muscle contraction.

Nervous System Support Through Chiropractic and Acupuncture

Additionally, she educates patients on stress mitigation and mastery of simple nervous system methods to control the inevitable effects of stress, which include muscle tension, postural imbalance, and pain. The spine houses the spinal cord, an offshoot of the brain itself; each nerve traveling from the spine through small vertebral foramina has the potential to impact many body parts- muscles, organs, and other tissues, as well as the brain. By caring for the spine and its connected ligaments, tendons, and positioning, Dr. Oskardmay cares for the whole body; patients look and feel better and understand themselves more. Patients of all ages benefit from a better understanding of body mechanics and brain fitness, as this knowledge empowers them to recover and maintain their health.
