Soft-Tissue* Treatment

*think muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels, joint membranes and fascia

At AOM we go a step further than a traditional chiropractor and treat everything that holds you up and moves you. We figure it’s the best (not to mention fastest) way to get you feeling right so you can go move. We mix and match the soft-tissue treatments listed below to best correlate with your exact needs.

Active Release Technique®

ART® is a comprehensive soft tissue treatment system. It has exceptional efficacy in the treatment of spinal, sports and overuse injuries. It is non-invasive (like everything at AOM) and is able to relieve dysfunction by restoring the normal tissue texture, tension, movement and function.

Graston Technique®

Graston Technique® Therapy is an evidence-based form of instrument assisted soft-tissue mobilization (IASTM). It is used to find and treat fascial restrictions as well as muscle and tendon dysfunction. Graston does not leave any of the bruising or scraping often seen on social media. It specifically targets tissues in need of treatment with specialized instruments. The soft-tissue is then reorganized at the cellular level to help eliminate the initial problem.

Cupping

Cupping is done to increase circulation which in turn can lower pain, improve range of motion and decrease inflammation. We often use movements (of course we do) while you have the cups on. Re-train that brain baby!
