Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Muscle dysfunction is characterized by chronic pain in the muscles attached to a joint due to improper posture, exercise or a stress.
The treatment involves giving adequate rest to the muscles, mild pain killers for symptomatic relief, hot fomentation and gradual physiotherapy exercises after the acute pain subsides completely. Proper and adequate rest is the mainstay of the treatment. Muscle relaxants in combination with pain killers may be helpful in early relief.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Wishing you good health.
Regards.
