WHAT IS MYOFASCIAL RELEASE?
Myofascial therapy is a hands-on approach to finding and treating trigger points that are sore tight points in the muscle. Commonly called muscle knots, trigger points happen when a muscle is injured either from overuse like sitting at a computer, or acute trauma like a fall.
HOW IS MYOFASCIAL RELEASE PERFORMED?
Chiropractic is the understanding that alignment and movement of the spine directly affect the function of the nervous system. Of course, the nervous system controls all our body functions.
Adjustments are what chiropractic treatments are called. In the office each visit, Dr. Parker will look, feel, and see if and where there is misalignment and restriction. Then with gentle hands-on treatment, movement is increased and therefore alignment is corrected.
Adjustment always feels good. Some muscles might be sore when they are worked on, but it is ” the good kind of pain”.
The frequency of visits varies depending on each particular patient’s health and lifestyle.
