Our Brookline Chiropractor Treats Chronic Pain with Myofascial Release Therapy

If you are experiencing chronic pain—any pain lasting three to six months or longer—our Brookline chiropractor may be able to help with natural Myofascial Release Therapy (MRT), especially if you are suffering from myofascial pain syndrome. This condition can cause loss of flexibility and ongoing pain in the back, hips, shoulders, neck and other areas of the body containing soft tissues, and it can even source migraine headaches.

What is Myofascial Pain Syndrome?

So, what exactly causes the aforementioned painful symptoms associated with myofascial pain syndrome? This chronic pain disorder is sources by tightness and sensitivity in the tissues that surround the muscles in the body called fascia. There are specific points in these tissues known as trigger points, which is why myofascial pain typically originates from. Discovering these trigger points to properly treat them can be tricky, which is why myofascial release therapy can target large areas of tissues and muscles for effective treatment as opposed to singular points.

What Is Myofascial Release Therapy and How Does it Work?

MRT is a form of physical therapy utilized by our chiropractor in Brookline to treat myofascial pain syndrome and other spinal and muscle related conditions. Typically, we prefer these sessions to take place during a therapeutic massage, but they can be performed during regular office visits. A certified administrator will massage the myofascia to feel for tight, stiff areas and then stretches those that fee rigid with their gentle, healing touch.

Their mission is to release impose upon impinged pressure points to alleviate the tightness to improve circulation and aid the supportive sheath and tissue to promote healing and muscle mobility. Keep in mind, that myofascial release involves treating a broad network of muscular areas, so the places being directly treated may not be precisely where you are experiencing the pain. Chiropractors approach the body as an interconnected whole rather than parts. We’ll give you a ‘full fledged holistic’ treatment program here at Brookline Family Chiropractic Center.
