Causes & Treatment of Chronic Muscle Pain

Living with chronic muscle pain can be devastating and draining. It is something that affects millions of people worldwide and can make life almost intolerable. It can be a hindrance to your everyday activities, and it can be overwhelming to go through the daily motions when you’re not 100%. Chronic muscle pain refers to any pain that lasts more than 12 weeks and causes of chronic pain are rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain and more.

Some of the common types of chronic pain are:

• Chronic back pain
• Chronic headaches
• Chronic nerve pain
• Chronic joint pain
• Chronic muscle pain

This type of pain can also manifest with decreases in appetite, mood swings, and sleep disturbances.

And while the natural instinct of many sufferers may be to pop an over-the-counter pain pill for relief, doing so can be dicey. “For some patients, taking an over-the-counter pain pill isn’t possible due to the risks associated with stomach irritation and interactions with other medications they’re on,” says Dr. Sylvia Hesse, an orthopedic medicine specialist at New York’s Manhattan Spine & Sports Medicine Center.

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are usually the culprits of many of these health problems, such as weak bones, fatigue, or a decreased immune system. The lack of essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, vitamin D, magnesium and calcium can cause bone and muscle fatigue, loss of bone density, and loss of muscle and nerve functions.

There are some solutions, such as physiotherapy and supplements for muscle cramps that can help lessen the pain and give relief.

Physical Therapy

Your physiotherapist would typically propose a plan for six to 12 weeks, focusing on creating a personalized treatment plan meant to improve muscle strength and joint mobility through light, therapeutic exercises done under their expert supervision.

Healthy Diet

A healthy diet is essential to support a healthy lifestyle. In particular, starting the day with a healthy breakfast has many benefits. Breakfast doesn’t have to be dull or heavy either. Granola bars, healthy cereals, supplemented by fresh and healthy juices can go a long way to starting your day healthy.
