Muscular Pain

Contusions occur when a direct blow or repeated blows from a blunt object strike part of the body, crushing underlying muscle fibers and connective tissue without breaking the skin. A contusion can result from falling or jamming the body against a hard surface.

Getting prompt medical treatment for that muscular pain and following your Sports Chiropractor’s advice about rehabilitation can help you avoid serious medical complications that occasionally result from deep muscle contusions. Two complications include compartment syndrome and myositis ossificans.
