Can a chiropractor relieve muscle pain?
Yes indeed, Chiropractors scope of practice involves treating many various neuromusculoskeletal injuries; which is much more expansive than mere joint mobilization. Most Chiropractors are trained in techniques such as: Myofascial Release Technique (MRT), Active Release Technique (ART), Post Isometric Relaxation (PIR), and more. Additionally, many Chiropractors will implement soft tissue/manual therapy/muscle relaxation techniques prior to joint mobilization in order to achieve optimal results when assisting patients.
