Myofascial Release Therapy

The fascia is a three dimensional web that holds your body together. Releasing the tension in fascia can help relieve many neuro-muscular complaints.

The fascia is a resilient connective tissue that helps hold your body together. This densely woven sheath is like a three-dimensional web that connects every part of your body to every other part of your body.

Subluxation, trauma, bad posture or inflammation can cause the fascia to knit together in unhealthy ways, producing scaring and pressure on nerves, muscles, blood vessels and organs. X-rays, myelograms, CAT scans and other common diagnostics can’t detect fascia problems.

Myofascial Release Therapy locates areas that are trapping muscle and other tissues into a painful, immobile position. Then, using our hands, a slow, gentle and sustained pressure is applied into the fascial restrictions. This manual application of persistent pressure causes soft tissues such as the fascia to elongate and return to their more normal state.

We often use Myofascial Release Therapy in cases of:

  • Back pain
  • Chronic pain
  • Sports injuries
  • Rehabilitation
  • Restricted motion
  • Carpal tunnel problems

Depending upon how much scar tissue is present, Myofascial Release can be uncomfortable at times. But hang in there! Improved flexibility and mobility are just around the corner.

Dr. Warhurst Asks some important questions of interest to Broomfield residents - Chiropractor Broomfield Dr. Warhurst Asks...

What is the significance of "growing pains?"
Chiropractors know that aches or pains at any age mean something's not right. In fact, many children go through stages of growth without aches or pains. So while "growing pains" may be common, they're not normal. That's why our Broomfield chiropractic practice sees lots of children. A chiropractic checkup for your child can often help detect and correct problems that are more difficult to correct in Broomfield adults.
What's a side effect?
It may sound like a bonus; something extra, but chiropractors know it should more accurately called an "unintended effect," and "unwanted effect" or in some cases an "adverse effect." A pill can't come close to matching your body's ability to create and deliver the essential compounds it needs. That's when it's important to make sure your nervous system is working correctly—the purpose of chiropractic care!
