Question
hi
i have a tightened trapezius muscle thats been giving me grief
my doctor advised advil, but it isnt helping much
would a chiropractor be able to help me?

Answer
Hello Ammar,

  Yes, Doctor's of chiropractic specialize in the biomechanics of the joints and muscular system.  Soft tissue treatment to the affected region will increase healing time and decrease your pain.  Since muscles move bones adjusting the spine/joint in the painful region will further reduce the tension.  

Have a great day,
Dr. Brendon O'Brien D.C.
