Muscle Spasms

Muscle spasms are characterized as involuntary contraction of one or more muscles. These spasms can cause prolonged aching or more acute sharp cramps. There are numerous possible causes for muscle spasms including dehydration, overuse, shocking the muscles (extreme activity with no stretching or training), or spinal misalignments. If the spine is not balanced, it causes asymmetric pulling of muscle groups in the back and neck, which can lead to spasms. Correctly aligning the spine will allow these muscles to calm down eliminating pain.
