Muscle Spasms and Cramping Support in Beverley and Driffield
Muscle spasms and cramping are sudden, involuntary muscle contractions that can feel tight, painful, or restrictive. They commonly affect the back, neck, shoulders, calves, and feet. These episodes may appear after prolonged sitting, physical exertion, stress, repetitive movements, or changes in activity levels. In many cases, the muscle may be responding to contributing factors such as joint restriction, movement patterns, or ongoing postural strain, rather than being the sole source of symptoms.
When spasms keep returning, having a clear plan can be helpful. Our chiropractors bring more than 50 years of combined clinical experience, with care that stays focused on you as an individual.
Understanding What May Be Contributing to Your Symptoms
Care begins with a thorough musculoskeletal assessment to explore joint movement, muscle tension, and movement patterns. We also consider lifestyle and activity factors, including work setup, daily posture, exercise habits, and recovery routines. This individualised, evidence-informed approach helps build a clear picture of the factors that may be contributing to your muscle spasms, so care can be tailored to your body, routine, and goals.
Care Options to Support Muscle Relaxation and Control
Where clinically appropriate, care may include spinal or peripheral joint mobilisation or manipulation to support comfortable movement. Soft tissue techniques, such as myofascial work and trigger point therapy, may be used to address areas of muscle tightness. Guidance on stretching, movement, and activity modification is provided, along with postural and ergonomic advice relevant to daily life, work, or sport.
Exercise-based rehabilitation may be introduced to help support muscle control, flexibility, and confidence with movement. Self-management strategies are discussed, and referrals are provided where indicated.
