My neck has been hurting for 3 years. I have tried chiropractors, MRIs, xrays, etc. My problem is muscle stress and anxiety, not an imjury. So you are wrong in my case.

When you’re in pain that’s almost unbearable you need muscle relaxers to function. What are you supposed to do otherwise suffer?

These pains can be so intense the bodies over reacting and needs some pain relief.
Yes, it’s a Warning sign that there’s a Problem, BUT Prolonged pain also causes issues with the mind and body…. So it needs a break. Some older injuries can’t be fixed, just managed. :-)

What about for muscle spasms in the lower back?

Great video gotta start seeing a chiropractor. Just so difficult to identify the main cause of muscle tightness especially when most doctors are not interested in the underlying cause and just prescribe medication for almost everything

Great way to advertise your business. Unfortunately, Chiropractors only increase the range of motion. They don’t fix any pain due to nerve or muscle issues. Often, it will aggravate an injury further as your body resettles itself.

I’ve never heard this take on, taking muscle relaxers and how they can possibly do more harm than good if not use in the right setting. Interesting.

Anxiety is a brain chemistry not a muscle pulls. I think that when anxiety causes migraines, or back aches with no underlying muscle injury, the relaxer is not impirtant to use during waking, or working hours, but only for sleep.

I am getting soma from my doctor so I can stop tensing my left knee so much and can start with aqua therapy and get stronger muscles. He says I need to have my knees get stronger so it doesn't completely lock up. I can't do that without a little help! I don't know what else to do. I get extreme muscle spasms, muscle tightening and pain and it makes it extremely hard to do physical therapy so I won't be able to get better! I will only be on it for a little while though while I grow my muscles! I don't want to develop an addiction for sure.

Think for the first part it's called guarding to prevent further injuries at the cost of muscular endurance and fatigue

Doc prescribed me a muscle relaxer for diastolic dysfunction..only 1 pill makes me sleepy for about 3 days and mychest neck and back are relaxed..thankful for it and doc said take only when needed..i dont understand why others take too much of it or for recreational purposes for a quick fix..meditation and rest will do..at first, i wanted to see a chiropractor for persistent neck chest and back pains but only available in a specific area..managing my pains thru rest and therapeutic massages but still the pain keeps piling on after..so i decided to see a doc and that is where i found out.

Do you know anything about tightness in the esophagus and how to deal with that? All doctors want me to do is take muscle relaxers for pain

[norvellatmoore]

Thank you Doctor for explaining that!!!;;
That is so true muscles are protecting a injury Lord knows I found that out a decade messing with the wrong doctors 2017 that's when I found out what was going on I knew I was injured this is what surprised back in 1986 when I found my new spine doctor everything got exposed it took me a minute to totally understand when I got up one morning and felt on that floor I could not feel the right side of my leg it was time for me to get my back fixed that is so true doctor they will give you muscle relaxers and pain pills without discovering what the problem really is thank you from the bottom of my heart explaining that God bless 🙏💜

Why are chiropractors allowed to give medical advice on drugs ? Borderline.
