Muscular trigger points or “knots”, adhesions, and scar tissue are caused by chronic stress, poor posture, sitting all day, overuse/repetitive stress, and trauma. If left untreated, they can lead to joint dysfunction
The goals of soft tissue therapy are to break down or reduce muscular trigger points, adhesions, and scar tissue. This will result in decreased pain, lengthen muscles, improved range of motion, reduced swelling, increased blood flow, and improved recovery.
Electrical stimulation therapy (ESTIM) is used to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, stimulate muscles, and promote healing. It works by sending two medium-frequency electrical currents through the skin that intersect, creating a low-frequency current that penetrates deeper into tissues. ESTIM helps block pain signals, encourages the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals, improves blood flow, and enhances healing. It is commonly used to treat conditions like acute or chronic pain, muscle spasms, post-surgical pain, and injuries, helping to increase mobility and reduce discomfort.
Dr. Klayton uses the Theragun. This powerful percussive massage device targets deep muscle tissue, loosening tight areas and improving blood flow before an adjustment *if needed*. By relaxing tense muscles, Theragun therapy makes your adjustment smoother and more effective, reducing discomfort and allowing for greater mobility and promoting long term healing and blood flow.
