IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) at Active Health Chiropractic is a highly effective technique that uses specialized tools to break down scar tissue, improve mobility, and promote faster recovery. This therapy relieves tension and restores function by targeting deep soft tissues that may be challenging to address with manual therapy alone.
Benefits of IASTM in Conjunction with Chiropractic Care
IASTM significantly enhances the benefits of chiropractic care by addressing soft tissue restrictions that might impede progress. Using specialized tools, IASTM breaks down scar tissue, releases adhesions, and improves circulation, complementing chiropractic adjustments to restore proper movement and alignment. This combination reduces pain, improves flexibility, and accelerates healing, making it ideal for patients recovering from injuries, managing chronic pain, or aiming to optimize overall physical health.
When IASTM is Used in Chiropractic Care and Patient Experience
IASTM is used in chiropractic care for chronic pain, restricted movement, or soft tissue injuries such as tendonitis or scar tissue buildup. It is integrated into treatment plans to enhance mobility, support healing, and reduce muscle tension. Patients often experience IASTM as a firm massage-like sensation with the tool, which may cause mild discomfort during treatment. Most find the sensation therapeutic, with any soreness usually being short-lived as healing progresses.
IASTM at Active Health Chiropractic is a powerful technique for improving mobility, breaking down scar tissue, and accelerating recovery, especially when combined with chiropractic care.
