Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release
If you experience chronic pain and tightness in your muscles, you may be dealing with a condition known as myofascial pain syndrome. This condition can cause pain and discomfort in multiple areas of your body, while also restricting your range of motion. The good news is that at Celtic Chiropractic & Injury Clinic, you can find all-natural relief through a combination of chiropractic care and myofascial release therapy. These treatments work together to help alleviate pain and restore mobility.
Benefits of Myofascial Release
Your body is supported by fascia, a type of connective tissue that surrounds muscles, tendons, and ligaments, weaving through them like a membranous web. When the fascia becomes restricted or tight, it can cause pain and discomfort in the underlying tissues, affecting your overall mobility.
Myofascial pain syndrome often develops due to factors like poor posture, spinal misalignments, or chronic stress on the body, which can lead to tightness in the fascia. This tightness can limit muscle movement and cause the formation of painful knots known as trigger points. These knots can pinch nerves and refer pain to other areas of the body, such as the arms, legs, or feet.
Myofascial release therapy is a drug-free, non-invasive technique designed to relieve this tension. During treatment, your practitioner will locate and manipulate these knots or tight spots, encouraging the fascia to release its grip. This allows your muscles and tissues to relax, alleviating pain and improving your range of motion.
Combining Chiropractic Care With Myofascial Release
Chiropractic care and myofascial release complement each other for lasting relief. Dr. Jennifer Peterson works to correct spinal misalignments and other underlying issues that may contribute to myofascial pain. Regular chiropractic adjustments can help restore proper alignment, while myofascial release therapy keeps your tissues from tightening up between adjustments.
This holistic, incremental approach not only promotes better mobility and comfort but also helps preserve the benefits of your chiropractic care. To help you maintain your progress at home, we can teach you self-myofascial release techniques, such as using a foam roller, to keep your fascia and muscles flexible.
