Scraping

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)

This type of treatment incorporates scraping the muscles and fascia with a tool. The purpose is to help loosen scar tissue and provide your muscle or ligament with the blood flow it needs to heal. 

Scraping

Cupping

Fascial decompression (cupping) is a great alternative soft tissue therapy to IASTM, ART, or dry needling. It brings blood flow directly to the area, promoting tissue healing.

Knee pain

Kinesio Taping

Kinesio Tape or Dynamic Tape is used to support the body. It is an excellent tool for helping patients struggling with posture, as it helps correct posture and educates muscles to keep you in position. It can also be used to relieve stress on specific muscles or joints.

The Benefits of FAKTR Chiropractic Treatments

  • Improves range of motion: FAKTR can help improve flexibility and range of motion by breaking up adhesions and increasing blood flow to the affected area.
  • Speeds up healing: By improving blood flow to the affected area, FAKTR can help speed up the healing process and reduce the risk of future injuries.
  • Enhances athletic performance: FAKTR can help athletes improve their performance by reducing pain and stiffness, improving flexibility and range of motion, and promoting faster recovery times.
  • Safe and non-invasive: FAKTR is a safe and non-invasive treatment option that can be used alone or in combination with other chiropractic treatments.
