Ease Plantar Fasciitis Pain With Chiro

Posted on 11.27.18 |

Men, women, and even teens can experience plantar fasciitis for a number of reasons. Though the foot-related condition may be commonly associated with recreational and professional athletes, it can occur in those who are not engaged in sports as well. To help ease the discomfort of plantar fasciitis, some individuals choose chiro in Trophy Club, TX, with Dr Cody Doyle. To schedule an evaluation with Dr. Doyle, please contact the team at (817) 767-5430.

Chiro in Trophy Club, TX, May Relieve Plantar Fasciitis Discomfort

Plantar fasciitis has its roots in the heel of the foot. Though ligaments and connective tissues become accustomed to absorbing shock and stress over your lifetime, they can occasionally become inflamed, slightly torn, and irritated. This leads to pain, especially when first standing, walking, or running.

Chiro at Doyle Chiropractic & Acupuncture can help restore proper functioning of the ligaments and tissues through individualized in office and at-home therapies and treatments. 

As with any chiropractic procedure, the ultimate goal for patients with plantar fasciitis is to bring their bodies back to maximum health. During your appointment, you can expect Dr. Doyle to carefully study your body mechanics. He will likely use body x-rays to help see if other problems are leading to the plantar fasciitis. By taking a comprehensive approach, Dr. Doyle can help you return to wellness and avoid situations that could lead to re-injury.

Do You Need Plantar Fasciitis Chiro Treatment?

You may have undiagnosed plantar fasciitis and not realize it because you have been “working through” the pain. Instead of putting your body and mind through the discomfort of untreated plantar fasciitis, why not consider calling Dr. Doyle if you have any of the following common symptoms of the condition?

  • Stabbing pain in the heel or another area of the foot. Typically, this type of intense pain worsens when you first stand up, such as after getting out of bed in the morning. Often, the pain will subside with activity. However, if you sit for long periods and get up, you may feel shooting pains again.
  • Discomfort immediately after exercise. Do you feel as if your heel or foot pain gets worse right after you finish running or working out? This could be an indicator that the bands of tissue in your heel are irritated or swollen.

Ignoring plantar fasciitis can lead to complications, including major tearing of the ligaments and other tissues in the foot. You may even begin to compensate for the pain by leaning too much one way or another, which can create other issues. A better solution than looking the other way is to face plantar fasciitis head on with a visit to a chiropractor.

Could You Be at Risk of Plantar Fasciitis?

You may be more likely to experience plantar fasciitis if you fall into certain categories. Read through some of the more common risk factors associated with the condition:

  • Being at least 40 years old.
  • Being an active runner or walker.
  • Having a prior diagnosis of plantar fasciitis.
  • Being significantly overweight or obese.
  • Working in a field that keeps you on your feet all day, such as in the nursing, restaurant, or manufacturing industries.
  • Having a “flat” foot.

Of course, some people who visit Dr. Doyle complaining of plantar fasciitis symptoms do not fall into any of these categories. The only way to know if your pain could be related to plantar fasciitis is to get a proper diagnosis from a medical health professional.

Continuing Chiro to Maintain Foot Health

Keeping up with regular chiropractic appointments at Doyle Chiropractic & Acupuncture can help avoid another round of plantar fasciitis. It can also bring your body into better alignment, minimizing the odds of you experiencing other injuries.

Are You Dreaming of a Pain-Free Life?

Posted on 09.20.18 |

Argyle TX chiropractorArgyle TX Chiropractor Cody Doyle May Have Solutions

Have you endured multiple medical treatments or surgeries that haven’t adequately addressed your pain problem? If so, you are not alone. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) more than 25 million Americans live with chronic pain. That’s roughly 11 percent of us. They also found that patients who experience the worst pain tend to have worse overall health and less medical coverage. It’s easy to understand why—without proper care, your chances of healing are reduced. As for the overall health issue, pain can rob you of your mobility and your drive to be active. How can anyone expect patients to stay active and maintain good health when it hurts just to move?

If you’re at a dead end with your pain management, visit Argyle TX chiropractor Dr. Cody Doyle. Standard medical interventions don’t work for everyone; Dr. Doyle may be able to help you heal your condition and live an active, pain-free life. Contact us today to make an appointment.

How Do Complementary Therapies Work?

If you’ve never visited a chiropractor before, you may be wondering how a “back doctor” can help you with a knee or shoulder problem. The truth is that chiropractors are more than back doctors; all musculoskeletal function and sensations travel through the spine. If the spine is out of alignment it can block nerve and circulatory pathways. This can make your body less able to heal itself by natural means and cause greater pain. Plus, Dr. Doyle provides much more than just chiropractic care!

The term “complementary therapies” refers to medical techniques not used by mainstream doctors. They are viewed as a complement to standard medical interventions, as they have demonstrated a beneficial effect on many patients. There is a tendency in medical care to fix what’s broken, without looking at how the different parts of the body interact and all play a role in healing. This is changing, of course, as more and more medical doctors see the value in alternative healing techniques. For example, more and more insurance providers are now covering chiropractic, acupuncture, and other alternative treatments for pain. Modern medicine may not understand everything about how these techniques work, but they are slowly coming to understand that they do work!

Chiropractic Treatments

As the nerve superhighway for the body, virtually all sensations and functioning rely on proper alignment of the spine. Your brain and immune system interact with every part of the body via the spine, so misalignment can lead to pain, dysfunction, an impaired ability to heal.

Acupuncture and Auriculotherapy

Pain-free acupuncture treatments can stimulate circulation and healing at specific musculoskeletal points on the body. Many of Dr. Doyle’s patients have used acupuncture to find relief from arthritis, neck and back problems, as well as migraines.

Myofascial Release Therapy

Have you ever reduced your own pain by massaging an area of the body? Myofascial release is not the same thing as massage, but it uses massage and stretching of targeted connective tissues to encourage healing and promote pain relief.

Nutritional Therapy and Supplements

How our bodies function is often based upon what we put into them. Eating foods that contain the right levels of certain minerals and nutrients can give you the ingredients that let the body heal itself. Doctors are already catching on to the value of nutritional and supplement therapy, as many of them now recommend turmeric (a natural anti-inflammatory), garlic (for heart health), as well as many other natural substances not traditionally referred to as “medicines.”

Ultrasound and TENS Treatments

Using high-tech tools, Dr. Doyle can stimulate many parts of the body to reduce inflammation and promote self-healing. Ultrasound waves deliver deep heat to muscles, tendons, joints, and ligaments. Premodulated muscle stimulation (TENS treatment) uses gentle electrical currents to relieve muscle spasms and swelling.

Browse our website to learn more about the many conditions that are treatable with complementary therapies. If doctors have been unable to end your pain thus far, it’s time to try something new. Argyle TX chiropractor Dr. Cody Doyle has helped thousands of patients improve their health and manage their pain. Your turn may be next!

Chiropractic Care for Trophy Club, TX: Back to Mobility

Posted on 09.12.18 |

The way the human body functions is amazing. Every part is meant to work together. Our musculoskeletal system – muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments – is connected in a beautiful way and its health can easily be taken for granted. Think about the accomplishments of Olympic athletes, pushing their bodies to the limit. Think of kids and teens who jump and leap, seemingly without effort. The stay-at-home mom who goes up and down stairs, picking up laundry, or the professional who spends all day focused and poised over a computer with arms, neck, and back in the same position for hours. That amazing musculoskeletal system can be put to the test. When the pains and strains get to be too much, Dr. Cody Doyle of Doyle Chiropractic & Acupuncture can provide chiropractic services that can help relieve pain and restore your range of motion.

He takes time to carefully evaluate each patient, taking into consideration their medical history and their current condition.

What kinds of treatments do you offer?

Dr. Doyle is trained to identify specific courses of treatment that can bring pain relief and promote ongoing healing. Chiropractic adjustments can manipulate the musculoskeletal system. To go along with adjustments, premodulated muscle stimulation (sometimes called e-stim) and ultrasound therapies may be used to target a specific problem area. These therapies can help reduce muscle spasms and can release tension in muscle groups and assist in restoring flexibility. Acupuncture is an alternative and holistic treatment based in traditional Chinese medicine and is also available to address concerns related to dysfunction in the nervous system. These therapies can provide relief and positive results. Dr. Doyle is also focused on providing services to those pursuing overall wellness and weight loss. These patients may receive recommendations for exercise, nutrition, detoxification programs, and herbal treatments.

Will Acupuncture Help?

Used by over 14 million Americans, acupuncture is known to be a highly effective form of pain management. In some cases, it is more efficient than pain-relieving drugs or surgery. Acupuncture is one of the oldest healing arts in the world. This ancient Chinese practice stimulates nerves and trigger-points in the body while easing pressure on painful areas. The body’s sensation of pain is suppressed as the stimulated nerves release endorphins. Acupuncture therapy can reduce pain, inflammation, stiffness, and muscle spasms, among other things.

Back Pain During Pregnancy

Posted on 07.9.18 |

Keller TX chiropractorWhen a woman’s body is nurturing the development of a new person, it understandably goes through a number of structural and chemical changes. Just about every part of the body may be affected—from the hair on the top of your head to the swelling in your ankles! The spine is no exception. As a pregnancy progresses, the extra weight that a woman carries in her belly can put stress on the vertebrae and lead to muscular and nervous system dysfunction, all of which may come with painful symptoms. Understanding what’s happening in the body can help you stay comfortable and find ways to relieve pain during your pregnancy.

To learn more about the effects of pregnancy on the spine and your musculoskeletal functioning, contact Keller TX chiropractor Dr. Cody Doyle. Call us at 817-767-5430 to make an appointment.

Lower Back Pain During Pregnancy

Most women gain about 20 pounds or more when pregnant, and most of it is concentrated in the belly. This increases lumbar lordosis (the arch of the lower back), which strains the vertebrae. This can cause constant lower back pain and muscle soreness. Another factor is the fact that pregnancy hormones relax the ligaments and joints to prepare the pelvis for delivery. This happens most significantly in the third trimester and can worsen any lower back pain a woman may be feeling.

If the pregnancy is not her first, an expectant mother might also be looking after an infant or toddler at the same time. This can mean carrying a child in her arms for several hours a day, bending over to pick up the child constantly, and all the other related activities that come with small children (e.g., picking up toys).  These factors make back pain a real challenge for many expectant mothers.

Compressed Nerves

Sciatica is another common back problem during pregnancy, though it may be felt primarily in the buttocks. This condition can feel like a shooting pain in the lowest part of the spine (tailbone), that radiates down one or both legs. Sciatica is an example of pain resulting from a compressed nerve, as the sciatic nerve is located in the lower back. It may become compressed by weight gain, stress on the lower back from your shifting center of gravity, or even the position of the baby in the womb. Luckily this type of nerve pain usually goes away after delivery and recovery, but that doesn’t make it any easier to endure.

Keeping Your Spine Happy in the Third Trimester

There are several ways that expectant mothers can try to prevent these painful symptoms.

  • Go swimming when possible. The lower gravity environment in the water can take the pressure of your lower back and give your spine and ligaments a break. There’s no need to make it an intense lap-swimming workout; just walk around or let yourself float, and you’ll be doing your back a favor.
  • Make sure you sleep in a position that supports proper spinal alignment. Doctors recommend that pregnant women sleep on the left side, but it’s perfectly fine to sleep on the right if you are experiencing sciatic nerve pain on the left.
  • Use a body pillow or pregnancy pillow to support your back when sleeping.
  • Avoid sciatic pain when sitting by using a special pillow that keeps weight of the tailbone.
  • Avoid carrying heavy loads or bending over to pick things up in the third trimester.

How a Keller TX Chiropractor Can Help

Many women are unaware that chiropractic care is not only possible during pregnancy, but can be incredibly helpful at relieving pain. All chiropractors are trained in caring for expectant mothers, and adjustments may even help you achieve an easier birth through proper pelvic alignment. Depending on your symptoms, Dr. Cody Doyle may recommend a combination of chiropractic, acupuncture, and or myofascial release therapy.

If you need a Keller TX chiropractor to help you cope with pregnancy-related back pain, contact our office to make an appointment. We are located on Byron Nelson Boulevard, directly across the street from Hawaiian Falls Water Park. Call us at 817-767-5430 to make an appointment.

Sleep Tips for Reducing Back and Neck Pain

Posted on 06.21.18 |

Argyle TX chiropracticIt’s been long known that pain can affect your sleep, but did you know that your sleep ergonomics can make your pain worse, too? This may seem obvious to anyone who’s ever tried to sleep on an airplane or a too-soft guest bed, but it may not be readily apparent if you’re used to your own cozy bed.

Most people with back and neck pain understand that the type of mattress you sleep on (and the age of the mattress) can have an impact on how much pain you wake up with. Fewer people are aware that the position you sleep in can make a difference, as well.

Are you looking for Argyle TX chiropractic care? If your back or body pain is not responding to traditional medical interventions, Dr. Cody Doyle may be able to help you. Call our office at 817-767-5430 to make an appointment.

If you have back pain, there are few things you can do to help make sure you are keeping your spine properly aligned when you sleep.

Do not tuck your chin. It may seem natural to “go fetal” when you are feeling cold in bed, but tucking your chin downward elongates the back of the neck. A more ideal placement is to keep your chin up, at the same angle as you use when standing and looking into a mirror. If your pillow is too high, this can also cause you to tuck your chin, so pay attention to how you wake in the morning. You may need a lower pillow if you frequently wake up with your chin tucked.

Side sleeper? Use a pillow between the knees. When you lie on your side, the upper knee has a tendency to want to make contact with the bed. This shifts the hip and pulls the lumbar spine out of proper alignment. If you sleep with your knees separated this way, and you are more likely to wake up with lower back pain. It’s always better to sleep with the knees stacked one on top of the other. If this is not comfortable, use a pillow or blanket between the knees to keep your spine straight.

Sleep on your back to reduce pain. The most common recommendation for back pain is to sleep flat on your back. It’s simply easier to keep the spine straight when lying flat this way. If back sleeping is not comfortable, you may need to find a small pillow to put either (1) under the knees, or (2) under the small of your back. Try those two suggestions before you give up and give in to the desire to switch back to stomach- or side-sleeping.

Pick your pillow with care. A nice thing about buying new pillows these days is that rather than indicating “soft, medium, or firm,” the packaging suggests that the pillow is best for side sleepers, back sleepers, or stomach sleepers. If you’ve had the same pillow for many years, it’s definitely time to pick out a new one! Pillows should be replaced every six months, except for some gel or foam pillows that can last up to two years. Having a “fresh” pillow that is made for your sleep position can help make sure you hold your head and neck in an ideal placement when you sleep.

Avoid stomach-sleeping, if possible. Stomach sleeping tends to be the worst position for spinal alignment. Depending on the type of pillow and mattress you use, it may make you more at risk of compressing the lower back or elongating the neck. At the very least, stomach sleeping causes you to have the head turned to either the right or the left for hours at a time, which isn’t good.

Many people are able to change their preferred sleep position with a little bit of effort. If back and neck pain are something you struggle with, training yourself to sleep on your back may make a big difference.

If you need Argyle TX chiropractic care, Dr. Cody Doyle can help! Call our Roanoke-based office at 817-767-5430 to make an appointment.

“Pins and Needles” May Indicate a Pinched Nerve

Posted on 05.16.18 |

pinched nerve, Roanoke TXDo you get “pins and needles” at inexplicable times? When accompanied by painful or burning sensations, or numbness, this may indicate you have a pinched nerve.

We all know that common pins and needles sensation. It happens when you sit too long in an odd position too long or lie against your arm when sleeping. Medically, this sensation is referred to as paresthesia, and it’s usually not something to be alarmed about. Nerve pathways travel from the brain, through the spinal cord, and out to every part of the body. When a nerve or bundle of nerves is compressed, it doesn’t function properly and you may lose sensation in an area of the body. Once the compression has stopped, you feel that curious paresthesia feeling as the nerves “wake up” and restore proper function. However, when paresthesia occurs unexpectedly or randomly in the course of what should be normal sensations—that can be cause for alarm.

Do you get pins and needles and inexplicable numbness? You may have a pinched nerve that could escalate to potentially painful nerve pain symptoms. For treatment for a pinched nerve, Roanoke TX, contact Doyle Chiropractic and Acupuncture online or call (817) 767-5430.

What Causes Pinched Nerves?

A pinched nerve occurs when surrounding tissues apply too much pressure to a nerve pathway. This can be caused by bone or cartilage, such as in the case of a herniated disc in the spine, or it may be caused by tendons and muscles, such as with carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrist. Pinched nerves belong to a class of nerve conditions referred to as peripheral neuropathy.

Symptoms of a pinched nerve may include:

  • Paresthesia
  • Sharp, burning, or radiating pain
  • Numbness
  • Muscle weakness

There are several known conditions that can contribute to the potential for developing a pinched nerve:

  • Degenerative or rheumatoid arthritis
  • Prior injury
  • Sports, hobbies, or work that relies on repeated movements
  • Being overweight

If a nerve is pinched for only a short time, it may resolve itself naturally and not be an issue. However, if it happens repeatedly, there’s a chance it may lead to worsening pain and an inability to maintain your natural range of movement.

Risk Factors

Oddly enough, women tend to suffer from pinched nerves more so than men—especially carpal tunnel syndrome. Pinched nerves can start in pregnancy when weight is gained and more stress is put onto the joints and the spine. Any type of medical problem that keeps you lying down for a long period of time can also increase the risk of nerve compression.

There are few medical conditions that increase your risk of pinched nerve, as well. For both men and women, (1) diabetes, (2) thyroid conditions, (3) bone spurs, and (4) obesity can all put you at greater risk of developing a pinched nerve.

How a Chiropractor Can Help

The spine is the basis for all movement in the body. If poor alignment of the spine is behind your nerve compression, chiropractic adjustments may help realign your musculoskeletal system for normal healthy function. If your compressed nerve is caused by an injury, arthritis, or repetitive movements, Dr. Doyle may suggest improving function using premodulated muscle stimulation (strategic electrical stimulation), ultrasound, physical therapy exercises, or acupuncture. Since there are many nerves in the body that can become compressed, and many causes behind it, treatments will vary based on the best functional solution for your symptoms.

Call our office at (817) 767-5430 to make an appointment for a consultation for a potentially pinched nerve, Roanoke TX, and Dr. Cody Doyle will assess your symptoms.

The Unexpected Benefits of Chiropractic Care

Posted on 04.13.18 |

Justin, TX chiropractorMost patients seek out chiropractic care for pain management or neck and back issues—but they often discover unexpected health benefits in the process! This is no surprise to us, as chiropractic treatment is based on the premise that the whole body works better when the spine and musculoskeletal system is in proper alignment.

When the vertebrae and discs are all working together correctly, the spinal cord and nervous system function better, to keep your body running like it should. For example, patients often report improved digestive, immune, reproductive, and cardiovascular health.

Are you struggling with pain and medical conditions that hinder your quality of life? Roanoke, Keller, and Justin, TX chiropractor Cody Doyle would love the opportunity to help. Call our office at 817-767-5430 to learn more about chiropractic care.

Better Digestive Health

Chiropractic adjustments can’t take the place of good dietary choices, but they may help ease the symptoms of disorders such as acid reflux, heartburn, or irritable bowel syndrome. Sometimes digestive malfunctions can be caused or worsened by compressed nerves, stemming from poor spinal alignment. When proper spinal alignment is achieved, nerve signals can more effectively regulate digestive functions. Many patients who come in for back and neck problems are pleasantly surprised when their digestive woes become less frequent or less severe.

Improved Immune Function

Patients with environmental allergies and poor immune function often respond positively to chiropractic and complementary therapies, (such as acupuncture and myofascial release therapy). Autoimmune diseases and severe allergies cannot be cured, of course, but improved blood flow and nervous system function can strengthen the body’s natural defenses.

Reproductive Health

Did you know that the American Pregnancy Association recommends chiropractic treatment for women who struggle with infertility? All of our organ systems rely on messages that travel through the spine, and that includes the hormones that induce ovulation and encourage conception. Chiropractic adjustments unblock compressed nerves and increase blood circulation to the reproductive organs. This also means men suffering from low testosterone and erectile dysfunction may experience better blood flow and circulation with regular chiropractic therapy.

Better Respiration and Cardiovascular Health

The respiratory airway, lungs, and heart rely on messages to and from the brain, which all travel through the spine. When that message-way is not impeded by subluxations in the spine, cardiovascular health and lung function often improve. Some medical conditions, such as asthma and high blood pressure, have been shown to improve with chiropractic treatments. WebMD reported on a study that provides evidence that a specific type of chiropractic adjustment can have the same effect as a dose of blood pressure medicine.

A Path Toward Wellness

Spinal adjustments are not a cure for conditions like infertility, high blood pressure, or acid reflux—but they can help your whole body function and heal properly. When musculoskeletal problems are accompanied by other medical conditions, many patients find that their capacity for healing improves in ways they did not anticipate.

If you have conditions that cause you ongoing pain or distress, chiropractic treatments may give your body the extra health boost it needs to respond better to healthy lifestyle choices and medical interventions. Dr. Doyle has helped thousands of patients achieve better health through chiropractic adjustments and complementary treatments, such as myofascial release therapy and acupuncture.

If you are ready to try a new approach to healing your body, call our office at 817-767-5430 to make an appointment with Roanoke, Keller, and Justin, TX chiropractor Dr. Cody Doyle.

5 Signs You Should Give Chiropractic a Try

Posted on 04.4.18 |

woman receiving chiropractic treatmentAre you in pain? Whether it’s in your neck, back, shoulder, leg, arm, or other location—there’s always the possibility you might benefit from chiropractic care. There’s a common misperception that chiropractic therapy only treats back problems, but that’s far from the truth!

Chiropractic adjustments have proven an effective treatment for the pain associated with many medical conditions. Trophy Club chiropractor Dr. Cody Doyle has successfully treated patients suffering from: back and neck conditions, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, peripheral neuropathy, bursitis, tendonitis, and even allergies!

The human spine is the steering wheel and central nerve pathway for the whole body. Any dysfunction in the musculoskeletal movement of the spine can have far-reaching consequences. If you are in pain and are experiencing any of the follow symptoms—it might be time to try a chiropractor!

1. Your Pain is Constant or Spreading

No one should feel they have to live with constant or ongoing pain. An injury that can’t seem to heal, despite following a doctor’s advice, may be a sign you need to seek out a different type of treatment. If your pain seems to be spreading, can also be a sign of improper spinal alignment. If your pain started only in your neck, for example, but now includes numbness or tingling in your wrists or extremities, there’s a good chance they are connected. Pain that doesn’t go away on its own should always be considered a serious situation, no matter what the history or age of the patient.

2. You are Getting Headaches

Migraines and “stress headaches” are often caused by problems in the back and neck. If you’ve noticed more headaches coinciding with the onset of your pain, they may be connected. Both your body and head pain may be treatable with proper spinal alignment.

3. Low Energy Levels/Poor Sleep

There are many ways that injury and dysfunction can deprive you of energy: poor adrenal function, insomnia, an overstressed nervous system. Many patients report feeling better rested and getting their energy back with proper realignment of the spine.

4. You’re Always Sick

Allergies, sinus congestion, and immune function can be improved with proper nervous system function and mechanical balance in the body. Every system in the body is affected by the spinal pathway and that includes the immune system! For example, spinal misalignments and subluxations (compressed nerve pathways) can cause neural dysfunctions that weaken your immune response.

5. Constant Use of Painkillers

If you are in so much pain that you are taking pain medication several times a day, this is not normal! If you feel that you can’t function and get through the day without taking the maximum recommended dosage of ibuprofen or naproxen, for example, you need try something new!

Myofascial Release Therapy

Posted on 02.7.18 |

myofascial release therapyAches and pains can be a side effect of aging or the byproduct of an active lifestyle, but you shouldn’t ignore chronic pain. If you have pain or stiffness that isn’t improving, instead of once again reaching for the heating pad or ibuprofen, speak to Dr. Cody Doyle in Roanoke, Tx about myofascial release therapy.

What is Myofascial Release Therapy?

Myofascial release is a type of hands-on treatment. Dr. Doyle massages or stretches the myofascial connective tissue (also known as the fascia) to provide relief from chronic pain or other symptoms. The therapy takes place over a larger area of the body to address the broader issue that is causing localized pain.

What can Myofascial Release Therapy treat?

Myofascial release therapy can be used in the treatment of:

  • Pain and stiffness in soft tissue

What causes Myofascial pain?

You may remember seeing a poster in science class of the human muscular system. What that poster didn’t show was the fascia that holds everything together. The fascia is a web-like connective tissue that covers the muscles; it helps hold us in our “human shape.”

When the fascia is healthy, it lays over your muscles like a slippery, loosely knitted sweater. However, when the fascia is injured, this normally flexible tissue becomes tight. As a result, there is restricted blood flow, pain, and stiffness in the affected muscle. Your fascial tissue can become damaged as a result of overuse, as in the case of repetitive motions or poor posture, or from lack of activity.

Keeping in mind the sweater analogy, if you pull on the sleeve of your sweater and let go, it will keep its shape. However, if you pull on the sleeve of your sweater for an extended time, you will notice the sweater starts to pull at your neck and the sleeve of the sweater changes shape. The same theory applies to unhealthy fascia; damaged tissue in one area can have a ripple effect throughout your body. Our fascial tissue is naturally thicker in some areas than others, but overly thickened fascia can cause tightness and become the cause of pain and stiffness.

Is fascia damage permanent?

The good news is, all damage to the fascia is reversible, and re-injury is preventable. You can care for healthy fascia by regularly stretching, using a foam roller, and drinking plenty of water. If you have a desk job or stay in the same position for a long time, take breaks every hour or so and move around. A quick web search will provide plenty of stretches you can do right at your desk or workstation.

Who is a candidate for Myofascial Release Therapy?

Otherwise healthy people who are suffering from myofascial pain are good candidates for myofascial release therapy. It is not recommended for people with broken or weak bones, vein issues, or those taking blood thinners. Dr. Doyle will review your medical history to determine if you are a good candidate for myofascial release therapy.
