At High Amplitude Health, I believe chiropractic care is most effective when it goes beyond spinal adjustments. While adjustments play a vital role in improving joint mobility and breaking up adhesions around spinal joints, they only address part of the picture. For true, lasting relief and optimal function, I must consider the entire musculoskeletal system — including the muscles, tendons, and ligaments that allow those joints to move.
This is where Myofascial Therapy and Active Release Therapy shine.
The Missing Piece in Spinal Health
Spinal joints are static by nature; without the soft tissues surrounding them, movement wouldn’t be possible. If these tissues are tight, inflamed, or injured, even the best spinal adjustments won’t resolve the underlying dysfunction. Hypertonic (overly tight) muscles, adhesions, and inflammation can pull joints out of alignment, causing pain to persist.
Myofascial Therapy and Active Release Therapy target these soft tissue issues by:
- Releasing adhesions in muscles and fascia that restrict movement.
- Relaxing hypertonic muscles that are contributing to joint dysfunction.
- Stimulating mechanoreceptors (stretch, vibratory, and pressure receptors) to reset disrupted signals.
- Improving blood flow and reducing inflammation, which speeds up healing.
By addressing these areas, I enhance the function of both the joints and the tissues around them, providing longer-lasting relief and improved range of motion.
A Comprehensive Approach to Pain Relief
At High Amplitude Health, my approach combines:
- Spinal adjustments to restore joint mobility.
- Myofascial therapy to target tightness, adhesions, and pain in soft tissues.
- Active Release Therapy to stretch and release specific areas of tension.
This integrated method not only relieves pain but also addresses the root cause of discomfort, allowing your body to heal and move the way it was designed.
