What It Is:
Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization is the use of specific tools in a low-friction manner to amplify the effectiveness of STM treatment.

How it Helps:
IASTM triggers an inflammatory healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and pain-free healing. It decreases rehab & recovery time and can effectively address chronic pain.

Myofascial Tissue Release

“For more than 5 years, I’ve found the most incredible help and relief from back, hip, neck, and sinus pain with treatment at Peak Chiropractic! Dr Andre Marse is a miracle worker. I wasn’t necessarily skeptical at first, but I didn’t understand how well this kind of treatment can cure problems I’d had for ages. It was a relevation — I can’t overstate that! The whole experience at this clinic is so positive, so upbeat, so therapeutic. I love going first thing in the morning to get my day going right.”
— June N.

Fascial Distortion Model

What It Is:
Fascial Distortion Model is a manner of approaching soft tissue pain that balances real patient input with medical tests to arrive at a hyper-specific treatment plan.

How it Helps:
This model allows us to keep the pain you’re experiencing top of mind and ensures that we achieve the best possible outcomes that not only provide relief but restore function long-term.

Dry Needling

What It Is:
This therapy involves the insertion of tiny needles into pressure points of knotted muscle. These needles don’t inject anything into the body, and this approach is visually similar to acupuncture.

How it Helps:
Dry needling triggers tight, knotted muscles to release and/or stop spasming, which provides relief from pain, greater flexibility, and improved range of motion.
