Myofascial release

When the Muscles Are the Problem

Chiropractic adjustments address spinal alignment — but sometimes the muscles and connective tissue surrounding the spine are equally responsible for your pain and restricted movement. Myofascial release targets exactly that.

What Is Fascia?

Fascia is the connective tissue that wraps around and connects your muscles, bones, and organs. When it becomes tight, restricted, or scarred — from injury, overuse, poor posture, or stress — it creates tension that limits movement and causes pain throughout the body.

What Myofascial Release Feels Like

It involves sustained, gentle pressure applied to tight or restricted areas of soft tissue. It's not aggressive — most patients describe it as firm but comfortable, and the release of tension is often immediately noticeable.

Conditions It Helps

Myofascial release is particularly effective for chronic neck and back tension, shoulder tightness, IT band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, headaches driven by tight suboccipital muscles, and the kind of deep muscle aches that don't respond to stretching alone.

Better Together

Dr. Duchene frequently combines myofascial release with chiropractic adjustments because they work synergistically — freeing up the soft tissue first allows the adjustment to hold better and produce more lasting results.

Address the Whole Problem

If you've been adjusted before but results haven't lasted, tight musculature may be pulling your spine back out of alignment. Let's address both sides of the equation.
