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.

Dr. DeMalio Asks some important questions of interest to Trumbull County residents - Chiropractor Trumbull County Dr. DeMalio Asks...

What does a chiropractic adjustment do?
Chiropractic adjustments give your spine a little "nudge" at the right place, right time and the right direction so your body can use that energy to "right" itself. With a schedule of consistent chiropractic visits, a new, healthier spinal pattern emerges.
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Trumbull County chiropractic practice.
