Once scar tissue is imbedded into the soft tissue, it must be broken down or “released “ in order to restore normal joint and muscular motion. We imply several different techniques to release myofascial adhesions, thereby increasing range of motion and decreasing pain with an immediate and lasting effect.

Simply put, joints are made to move. It is how they receive proper nourishment and lubrication. When they don’t, it usually results in pain, inflammation, and compensatory muscle spasm. When necessary, manipulations, or adjustments, are specifically made to restore normal joint motion and reduce restrictions.

For patients who choose not to be adjusted, we can use other methods of mobilization to achieve the same goal, without the “popping” sound.

At ACSC, therapeutic exercises are personalized to each patient and help to relieve symptoms of pain, tightness, or discomfort. These exercises can improve mobility and increase strength. By putting an emphasis on therapeutic exercise, ACSC helps patients create a more functional body that decreases the risk of injury.

We utilize passive modalities such as Ultrasound and Electric Stimulation to increase circulation, reduce muscle spasm, decrease pain, and make scar tissue more pliable before treatment.
