Muscle Pain Treatment in Woodstock
Gentle, Effective Care for Muscle Pain & Aches
Muscle pain is one of the most common complaints — but with the right care, you don’t have to live with constant aches or stiffness.
Muscle pain (myalgia) can affect almost any part of the body. It may be caused by overuse, stress, poor posture, a lack of movement, or not preparing properly for physical activity. Sometimes muscle pain also results from injuries, infections, or inflammatory conditions.
At The Woodstock Chiropractor, we take the time to find the source of your discomfort and provide personalised care. Whether your pain is localised, widespread, or referring to other areas, our treatments aim to reduce pain, improve movement, and support long-term muscle health.
Common Symptoms of Muscle Pain
Tenderness – soreness in one area or across multiple muscles.
Muscle Spasms – sudden tightening or cramping sensations.
Stiffness – difficulty moving comfortably after rest or exertion.
Swelling – puffiness or inflammation in affected muscles.
Referral Pain – muscle pain in the neck or shoulders that can trigger headaches.
Weakness – reduced muscle strength due to pain or fatigue.
Poor Sleep – discomfort that disturbs rest and recovery.

Muscle Pain & Chiropractic Care — Common Questions
Here are some of the questions we often hear about muscle pain and how chiropractic care can help.
What causes muscle pain?
Muscle pain is usually caused by overuse, poor posture, stress, or lack of movement. Sometimes it’s due to injury, infection, or underlying inflammatory conditions.
Can chiropractic care help with muscle pain?
Yes. Chiropractic care reduces muscle tension, improves posture, and restores proper movement. It also helps prevent pain from returning by addressing the root cause.
Is all muscle pain the same?
No. Muscle pain can be localised to one area, spread across different regions, or even refer pain to other parts of the body, such as headaches from tight neck muscles.
When should I see a chiropractor for muscle pain?
If muscle pain lasts more than a few days, interferes with sleep, or keeps coming back, it’s worth getting checked. Early care helps prevent ongoing problems.
Is chiropractic treatment safe for muscle pain?
Yes. Treatments are gentle, safe, and tailored to your specific needs. We explain everything clearly and work at a pace that’s comfortable for you.
Can stress cause muscle pain?
Yes. Stress often leads to tightness in the neck, shoulders, and back. Chiropractic care combined with lifestyle advice can help manage both the symptoms and the underlying tension.
