Question 1

how much time does it take paraspinal muscles to heal in your neck?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Hi
Depends on the injury and how large an area was involved, but I would expect that it could take weeks. Some injuries, like muscle tears and detachments may not heal fully on their own. Keep in mind also that there are other anatomical structures in the neck other than muscles that can be injured. If you're in severe pain, please see your local doctor. Hope this helps

Question 2

can the paraspinal muscles be repaired if they tore? who could evaluate, treat, diagnose a paraspinal tear? can muscles pulled from neck be repaired?

Accepted Answer

Not generally: The paraspinal muscles are seldom really torn. They can become inflammed, irritated, or affected by the underlying nerves, but they do not generally tear. Muscles in the neck also do not generally tear. Any orthopedic surgeon can help you with the problem. If it ultimately doesn't heal, there a spine surgeon can be called upon to assist.

Question 3

what are remedies on paraspinal muscle spasms?

Accepted Answer

Treatment of spasm: Treatment of paravertebral muscle spasm includes pharmacological (muscle relaxants) and non-pharmacological such as heating pad, massage, physical therapy and stretching.

Question 4

what is paraspinal muscle spasm?

Accepted Answer

Paraspinal spasm: It is when the muscles on either side of your spine become really tight. It can cause pain.

Question 5

does tenderness of the paraspinal muscles near the shoulders indicate a neurological dysfunction?

Accepted Answer

Paraspinal tendernes: Not always. It could be inflammation in the muscle or from a strain. A physical exam and history would narrow the diagnoses

Back pain: Have you tried Ibuprofen or Naproxen ? If not, you should, barring such contraindications as peptic ulcer disease or kidney failure.

Question 7

i'm 36& have severe paraspinal muscle atrophy. what are the odds of me ending up in a wheelchair? i have frequent falls&was told no cure?

Accepted Answer

SMA: Prognosis depends on genetics and concomitant illness. Research is underway to find a cure. Wish I could say more but I can't without knowing more about your case.

Question 8

what is loss of normal lumbar lordosis paraspinal muscle spasm?

Accepted Answer

Lumbar lordosis: Lumbar lordosis is a normal inward curve of our lower spine.    Our natural spinal curvature functions as a cushioning effect during movement.  When the muscles that lie along the sides of the spine become tense with spasm, they pull the spine straighter than usual.  This results in discomfort.

Question 9

my mid to lower paraspinal muscles are constantly pulled. all  mri's , xrays, and ct scans normal. is there a condition that could cause this?

Accepted Answer

Lumbar strain: If all tests are normal its probably myofascial in origin. If an injury was part of this we call it lumbar strain. First stop should probably be physical therapy.

Question 10

i got mri test reports showed me paraspinal muscle spasm i feel strain and pain some time in neck i want to know is jogging best for my neck is there any disadvantage of jogging if i start???

Accepted Answer

: Following injury, rehabilitation includes stretching and gradual resistance exercises.  If chronic neck pain and stiffness, have a physical therapist design a gradually progressive program to avoid re-injury.  A certified exercise physiologist could also be used, but avoid those who claim to be "personal trainers".
