Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization, or IASTM Treatment, is a cutting-edge technique in chiropractic care, offering a non-invasive approach to treating soft tissue conditions. At Big River Chiropractic, Dr. Caleb Alford integrates this method to effectively address a range of musculoskeletal issues.
IASTM is a therapeutic technique used in chiropractic care. It involves specialized instruments designed to specifically target and treat soft tissue conditions.
IASTM treatment uses tools that are uniquely shaped to effectively manipulate and treat soft tissues. These instruments enable chiropractors to precisely target areas of tissue restriction and adhesion.
The application of IASTM involves gliding these instruments over the skin to locate and treat fibrous areas within the soft tissue. This process helps in breaking down scar tissue and fascial restrictions, promoting better movement and flexibility.
By treating the soft tissues in this manner, IASTM stimulates the body’s natural healing processes. It helps in reducing inflammation and increasing blood flow to the treated area, speeding up recovery.”
We advocate the use of IASTM treatment because it offers a number of significant advantages. This technique significantly reduces pain and discomfort, allowing our patients to experience a more comfortable and swift recovery. Additionally, IASTM is known for accelerating the healing process, making it highly beneficial for those recovering from soft tissue injuries. It not only improves tissue functionality but also enhances the overall efficacy of the treatment. We find IASTM especially advantageous in promoting faster recovery and improving the quality of our patients’ lives.
Another advantage of IASTM is that it is helpful in treating a number of different conditions. These include:
IASTM effectively treats tendonitis by targeting inflamed tendons, reducing pain and aiding in the healing process. Dr. Alford’s skilled application of this technique helps restore tendon functionality.
For patients suffering from plantar fasciitis, IASTM is utilized to alleviate heel pain and improve foot mobility. The technique focuses on the plantar fascia, offering relief and promoting recovery.
IASTM is also beneficial in treating post-surgical scars, enhancing tissue flexibility and reducing scar tissue buildup. Dr. Alford’s precise use of IASTM aids in improving the range of motion and minimizing discomfort in affected areas.
Our approach to your treatment, including IASTM, is personalized, focusing on integrating it into comprehensive treatment plans. This includes assessing the patient’s condition and employing the most suitable IASTM technique for effective results.
