Neck Pain
Myofascial therapy is often used in the management of neck pain. The fascia is a three-dimensional web of connective tissue covering the bones and muscles. When it becomes stiff due to injury, sprain, overuse, or inflammation, it can cause pain.
Myofascial massage aims to improve physical function by locating and releasing muscle trigger points associated with muscle tension. These trigger points can be found in the shoulder, neck, and temporomandibular joint.
Headaches
If you have chronic headaches, you probably are wondering if myofascial release can relieve those, as well. These massages are designed to alleviate tension in the muscles that surround your head. They also improve the flow of oxygen and blood throughout your body.
This therapy relies on manipulating the connective tissues in the head, neck, and shoulders to improve circulation, rehydrate the connective tissue, and eliminate restrictions.
Lower Back Pain
Myofascial treatment for lower back pain is an alternative treatment that can be very beneficial. It can help reduce pain, improve movement, and increase blood flow.
This treatment is a manual medicine that involves sustained pressure on the affected tissue.
If you are considering myofascial release treatment in Kansas City, MO, for your low back pain, you can be assured at least thirty minutes of therapy during your KC Spine and Wellness visit.
Neuropathies
For neuropathies, this treatment involves a technique that loosens restricted muscle movement. It is thought to be effective in treating fibromyalgia, headache, back pain, and heel pain.
The treatment is based on the idea that myofascial tissues are the source of the pain. So first, slow, sustained manual pressure is applied to stretch tight tissue and stimulate nerve messages to the brain. Once the muscles are relaxed, heat is used to reduce the pain.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain. In some cases, the pain can be so severe that it affects your health and fitness.
The treatment of plantar fasciitis through this method is a viable option. In addition, this treatment is effective in treating chronic pain.
Myofascial therapy involves gently massaging the soft tissues around the feet and legs. It is designed to release tight connective tissues such as those in the bottoms of the feet.
