Why Fascia Matters in Movement & Pain
Fascia is the body’s connective tissue web—wrapping around muscles, joints, and nerves. When it’s healthy, fascia provides spring-like elasticity and allows for fluid movement. But when it's tight or damaged, it causes:
- Stiffness and reduced mobility
- Chronic muscle tension or pain
- Scar tissue from old injuries or surgeries
- Compensation patterns that lead to more dysfunction
IASTM restores balance by releasing these fascial restrictions, improving circulation, and helping your body move the way it was designed to.
What Conditions Does IASTM Help?
This therapy is highly effective for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Headaches & Neck Pain – Releasing tension in the cervical fascia
- Back Pain & Sciatica – Addressing hidden soft tissue restrictions
- Rotator Cuff & Shoulder Pain – Improving mobility and relieving tightness
- Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow – Breaking up forearm adhesions
- Runner’s Knee & Joint Strain – Enhancing soft tissue flexibility
- Plantar Fasciitis & Foot Pain – Loosening tight fascia in the heel and arch
- Post-Surgery or Injury Rehab – Reducing scar tissue to restore movement
Many patients come to us after trying massage, PT, or chiropractic—only to find IASTM was the missing link in their recovery.
How IASTM Therapy Works at Our Center
IASTM is far more than scraping the skin. Here’s our multi-step, functional approach:
Step 1: Assessment
- Posture, gait, and movement analysis
- Palpation and soft tissue mapping
- Identification of scar tissue and compensatory movement patterns
Step 2: Advanced IASTM Techniques
- Precise tool-based fascia release
- Targeted myofascial therapy and trigger point integration
- Percussion therapy for circulation and recovery
- Movement correction and rehab exercises to lock in results
Unlike passive treatments, we help retrain your fascia for long-term improvement—not just temporary relief.

FAQs
Pregnancy comes with a lot of questions—and we’re here for all of them. Whether it’s your first baby or your third, it’s normal to wonder how chiropractic fits into this journey. Below, we’ve answered the most common concerns we hear from expectant moms—so you can feel confident, informed, and supported every step of the way.
Our pregnancy tables “drop out” to accommodate your growing belly. Most moms lie face down comfortably until the third trimester, when we may shift to side-lying.
Yes—our techniques never involve pressure on your belly. You’ll feel safe, supported, and comfortable throughout your session.
Yes! We love when moms bring their little ones. We even have a kids’ play area in the office.
Absolutely. Many moms report smoother births, less labor pain, and shorter delivery times when receiving regular chiropractic care during pregnancy.
Most of our moms say yes. Care after birth helps realign the pelvis, support the core, and ease back into movement.
Absolutely! Pregnancy can put extra stress on the spine, hips, and pelvis, leading to pain and discomfort. Chiropractic care during pregnancy can:
- Reduce lower back and pelvic pain by ensuring proper spinal alignment.
- Improve posture and balance to accommodate the baby’s growth.
- Help with labor and delivery by optimizing pelvic alignment, potentially reducing the need for interventions.
We specialize in gentle pregnancy chiropractic techniques, making care safe and effective for expectant mothers. Many of our patients say they feel more mobile, more comfortable, and even sleep better after treatment!
Yes! Chiropractic care for infants is very gentle, using light fingertip pressure to address common issues like:
- Colic and reflux – Adjustments can help regulate the nervous system and digestion.
- Torticollis (neck tightness) – Gentle corrections improve head movement and prevent flat spots.
- Sleep disturbances – Nervous system balance can promote better rest.
Adjustments for babies involve no cracking or force, just precise, soft pressure. Many parents notice improvements in their baby’s mood, digestion, and sleep after just a few visits.
Results We Often See
Chiropractic care during pregnancy can lead to decreased labor times, improved baby positioning (even in breech cases), better pelvic mobility and hip function, reduced back, rib, and pubic pain, and a stronger, faster postnatal recovery.
