Soft Tissue Treatment

You may hear or see the term ‘myofascial’ a lot nowadays. Usually it refers soft tissues. Myofascial release techniques or soft tissue treatments at TrustHope Wellness Care in Elgin are very important to deal with musculoskeletal conditions. In fact, we can almost say that all the musculoskeletal conditions are somehow related to soft tissue problems and there must be doctors and techniques to resolve those problems.

Why Soft Tissue Treatment in Elgin?

It has been proven that scar tissues develop at the site of injury to fill up the space. It’s called fibrosis (the development of fibrous connective tissue as a reparative response to injury or damage) and in many cases, it’s the source of pain and discomfort.

Dr. Jung does ART (Active Release Technique) and IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) techniques to break the fibrosis. Especially the tools (specifically Hawk Grips) that he uses for IASTM work so well and he calls it as ‘a magic tool’ and most his patients agree with. Again, soft tissue treatment in Elgin is really essential in treating orthopedic conditions and it becomes very synergistic with chiropractic adjustment.
