What is MyoFascial Release?

A very safe and effective way to eliminate pain and restore motion into connective tissue is performed by a procedure known as myofascial release. Here at Tukee Lifestyle Chiropractic, Dr. Goozdich and our staff provide this procedure as well as many others that may be beneficial to you. We are located in Ahwatukee, AZ and proudly serve the neighboring Foothills of Arizona. Our staff is here to help the community and the patients that visit our office. Muscle pain tends to be a very common issue that many of our patients experience. We have a variety of techniques and procedures that we used to treat pain.

How is it performed?

Myofascial release procedure is generally a hands-on treatment, that usually flows in tandem with a massage therapy session. However, chiropractors, such as at our practice, perform this procedure also. Dr. Goozdich our chiropractor will start by gently massaging the muscles to assess if you may be affected by myofascial pain. You will have chronic pain or feel pressure on certain pressure points. They will then begin stretching and massaging the areas that feel tight using light pressure. The chiropractor or therapist will then release pressure and tightness by aiding the tissue. This is a process that is repeated multiple times directly on the same trigger point until they feel the tension is released completely. This procedure works by releasing a network of broader muscles that may be causing you pain. It can also work to release tension throughout the rest of your body by using other trigger points located across your muscular system.

Are there are any known risks?

You should avoid this procedure at all costs if you:

• Have burns, injuries, or other painful wounds
• Have broken bones or fractures
• Have fragile/weak bones
• Have deep vein issues
• Are taking blood-thinning medications

Please consult your regular physician and our office to make sure this treatment is right for you. We are always more than happy to find another solution to the discomfort you are having.
