soft tissue

Soft Tissue and Manual Therapy

Pain doesn’t always come from the spine or from a joint.  There are many cases we treat that are from muscle, tendon, ligament, and nerve pain.  At your visit, your chiropractor will discuss with you our different soft tissue options.

These powerful techniques are a critical part of the recovery process and will help you heal faster, get better results, and will lead to lasting positive change.

For specialized medical-grade muscle work, we also offer Clinical Massage Therapy to complement your chiropractic adjustments.

The McKenzie Method

The McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy or MDT is a highly effective assessment used to classify and treat injuries.

The power of this system is that in just a few visits, you and your doctor will understand how your body responds to movement, and you will know what to do to treat your pain.  Instead of getting pages and pages of exercises, most patients get significant relief with 1 or 2 exercises.  We strive to give you control of your health, don’t spend weeks and months depending on other people for relief.

cupping

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy has been used in many different healing traditions for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.  At Rising Sun Chiropractic + Weight Loss, we have used this powerful tool for nerve pain, nerve entrapments(pinched nerve), and fascia injuries.

FAKTR

FAKTR (actually FAKTR-PM, but referred to as FAKTR) stands for “Functional And Kinetic Treatment with Rehabilitation, Provocation, and Motion.” It was developed to help speed recovery from chronic musculoskeletal pain syndromes and has also been shown to work extremely well to treat acute chiropractic musculoskeletal/fascial conditions.

FAKTR involves the combination of several different forms of chiropractic therapy. Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is used to locate and remove myofascial adhesions or restrictions. These therapies, in combination with rehabilitation exercises, strengthen the tissues while restrictions are being removed.

We combine FAKTR techniques with personalized rehabilitative exercise to ensure your soft tissue heals in a way that supports functional movement.
