Soft Tissue Therapy

Soft Tissue Therapy focuses on treating the muscles, ligaments, fascia, and tendons that support your joints and movement. This approach helps relieve pain, restore mobility, and address the repetitive-use injuries and tension patterns that often contribute to spinal and extremity dysfunction.

How It Works
Soft Tissue Therapy Overview
Soft Tissue Therapy is essential for resolving injuries and chronic tension caused by overuse, poor movement patterns, or acute trauma. While chiropractic adjustments restore proper joint motion, soft tissue work targets the surrounding muscles, ligaments, and fascia that often become tight, inflamed, or dysfunctional. At Align Chiropractic, both Dr. Lockwood and Dr. Jeffers integrate techniques such as functional exercise, Graston Technique, Erchonia Percussor therapy, pin-and-stretch, and joint manipulation to support complete healing. Because the soft tissues and joints are fundamentally linked, addressing both ensures better mobility, reduced pain, and long-term recovery.
