Wellness Services for Muscle Pain
Serving the Greater Los Angeles County Area including La Verne, Claremont, Glendora, San Dimas, CA
Muscle pain is more than just a sensation. It has the ability to impact us in a multitude of ways. Depending on where the pain is located, muscle pain can lead to temporary difficulty in lifting objects, mobility struggles, and challenges at work or in completing everyday tasks.
Due to the aches, challenges, and general inconveniences surrounding muscle pain, it only makes sense to want it to go away as soon as possible. So, here, we’ll guide you through muscle pain: its potential causes, how to get rid of it and prevent it, and what Recovery Lab of Laverne can do to help.
Muscle Pain
- Common Causes of Muscle Pain
Anything which causes overexertion or trauma to the body has the potential to trigger muscle pain. Below are some common causes of muscle pain:
- Sports injuries
- Working out too much
- Lack of exercise
- Improper lifting
- Dehydration
- Tension from stress or anxiety
- Poor sleep positions
- Hard physical labor
Muscle pain can also have medical causes. It may occur due to underlying medical conditions, infections, vitamin deficiencies, or as a side effect of certain medications.
- How to Prevent Muscle Pain
Muscle pain can’t always be avoided, but it’s something you can prevent as much as possible.
Muscle pain prevention begins with proper nutrition and hydration. It also counts to engage in proper lifting, maintain a balanced physical exercise regimen, reduce mental stress, and allow your body to get enough rest.
Here at Recovery Lab of La Verne, we have multiple wellness services that may help seasoned athletes, fitness gurus, and the like support their muscles before or right after a workout. Our services can also be part of a routine for clients dealing with muscle soreness from other sources, such as a labor-intensive career.
- Getting Rid of Existing Muscle Pain
If you’re already experiencing muscle pain as we speak, there are also things you can do.
Easing muscle pain often starts with giving your body some time to rest. Applying ice to the affected area(s) can help with the initial swelling for the first 72 hours or fewer. After this period, you can apply heat to the area to help loosen your muscles and may help you feel more comfortable.
Muscle pain can also be aided with over-the-counter pain relievers, tropical muscle pain creams or gels, and light massages.
Our wellness center also has a variety of services that may help ease aching muscles and support your recovery routine.
