Side effects of muscle relaxants include drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, nausea, anorexia, confusion or fatigue. People taking these kinds of drugs are often a danger to themselves and their colleagues. Your body needs to communicate within itself. Pills violate this by shutting down, muzzling or interfering with the body's internal signals. By restricting movement to a particular area of the body, they tax and overwork nearby muscles, bones and tissues, sending the injury somewhere else.
Splints also restrict blood flow.
They're usually placed on a wrist or arm so tightly that they leave red marks on the skin when they're removed. When connective tissue is squeezed or constricted, space is lost. When splints squeeze an injured area, the body's natural healing process is blocked . Splints do not help injured tissue or sore joints improve. When muscles don't move, they atrophy.
