What is Myofascial Release?
- Reduce muscle tension and tightness
- Improve mobility and flexibility
- Relieve pain and discomfort
- Enhance circulation and healing
Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, stiffness, or recovering from injury, myofascial release can help you move and feel better.
In addition, myofascial release can play a key role in managing peripheral neuropathy, which involves nerve damage in the arms or legs (as opposed to spinal nerve issues like disc herniations). Peripheral neuropathy may cause symptoms such as numbness, tingling, burning, weakness, or pain in the hands or feet. One common example is carpal tunnel syndrome, where pressure on the median nerve at the wrist leads to pain and sensory changes. By addressing the surrounding soft tissues, particularly in the wrist and forearm, we can relieve pressure on the nerve and reduce inflammation.
Whether used on its own or in combination with chiropractic adjustments, myofascial release is a powerful tool in restoring function, reducing pain, and supporting long-term healing. It allows us to address both the mechanical and neurological components of injury for more complete and lasting results.
