Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) Chiropractic Treatment in Buffalo
What is Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)?
The Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a manual form of therapy that uses stainless steel tools, directed by a medical professional, to mobilize muscles.
How does it work?
This technique can be compared to a deeper, more intense version of massage. Your chiropractor will use the IASTM tools to find knots or restrictions that may be causing you pain, and break up the tissue to reduce pain, improve mobility and restore function.
What are the benefits of Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization?
Some patients experience an immediate reduction in pain following their treatment with the Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization technique. Most patients find that their mobility improves and their function is restored after their chiropractor uses this modality. The IASTM technique can help patients who are going into or coming out of surgery and also help with chronic pain and injuries and scar tissue.
