Myofascial Release Therapy

The fascia is a resilient connective tissue that helps hold your body together. This densely woven sheath is like a three-dimensional web that connects every part of your body to every other part of your body.

Subluxation, trauma, bad posture or inflammation can cause the fascia to knit together in unhealthy ways, producing scaring and pressure on nerves, muscles, blood vessels and organs. X-rays, myelograms, CAT scans and other common diagnostics can’t detect fascia problems.

Myofascial Release Therapy locates areas that are trapping muscle and other tissues into a painful, immobile position. Then, using our hands, a slow, gentle and sustained pressure is applied into the fascial restrictions. This manual application of persistent pressure causes soft tissues such as the fascia to elongate and return to their more normal state.

We often use Myofascial Release Therapy in cases of:

  • Back pain
  • Chronic pain
  • Sports injuries
  • Rehabilitation
  • Restricted motion
  • Carpal tunnel problems

Depending upon how much scar tissue is present, Myofascial Release can be uncomfortable at times. But hang in there! Improved flexibility and mobility are just around the corner.

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
Can chiropractic cure a child's ear infections?
Chiropractic isn't a cure for anything. Nor is it a treatment for ear infections. However, many children who suffer with ear infections also suffer from spinal problems in their neck, compromising nerves to the ear, depressing the immune system and preventing proper drainage.
