Soft Tissue Treatment

Often some form of manual work that is localized to the area of complaint will be a part of chiropractic treatment. This form of treatment can be delivered in many forms, such as general muscle stripping, ischemic compression, instrument assisted, and myofascial release therapy. Like massage, soft tissue treatment works on trigger points or tight bands of muscle that have built up toxins such as lactic acid, and render the muscle dysfunctional. It can help relax the tight bands of muscles, break up scar tissue from micro-trauma, restore blood flow and lymphatic drainage, and help restore motion to the area.
