Myofascial Release Therapy in Rhode Island
Myofascial Release Therapy is a hands-on technique that relieves tension in the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles. Fascia can become tight or restricted due to injury, stress, or poor posture, leading to pain and limited mobility. At DeCrescenzo Chiropractic, we use Myofascial Release Therapy to gently stretch and release tight areas of fascia, promoting relaxation, reducing pain, and improving movement.
Conditions Treated with Myofascial Release Therapy
Myofascial Release Therapy is effective for a variety of conditions, including:
- Chronic Muscle Pain: Reduces muscle tension and discomfort caused by chronic overuse or stress.
- Fibromyalgia: Relieves pain and stiffness associated with fibromyalgia by releasing tight fascia.
- Headaches and Migraines: Alleviates tension in the neck and shoulders, often a source of tension-related headaches.
- Postural Issues: Improves alignment by releasing restricted fascia that contributes to poor posture.
- Scar Tissue and Soft Tissue Injuries: Breaks down adhesions and scar tissue to improve flexibility and promote healing.
How Myofascial Release Therapy Works
During Myofascial Release Therapy, our chiropractor uses gentle, sustained pressure on the affected areas to stretch and release the fascia. This process allows the tissue to relax, relieves muscle pressure, and improves blood flow to the area. Myofascial Release is particularly effective because it targets the fascia, which can hold tension and cause pain if restricted. This therapy relieves pain and enhances mobility and flexibility, helping you move more comfortably.
Benefits of Myofascial Release Therapy
Myofascial Release Therapy offers numerous benefits for patients dealing with muscle and fascia-related discomfort, including:
- Pain Relief: Alleviates pain caused by tight, restricted fascia and surrounding muscles.
- Improved Mobility: Restores flexibility and range of motion by releasing restrictions in the fascia.
- Enhanced Posture: Corrects postural imbalances by relieving fascial tension, allowing for better alignment.
- Non-Invasive Treatment: Provides a safe, gentle alternative to medications or surgery for pain relief.
What to Expect During Myofascial Release Therapy
During a Myofascial Release Therapy session, our chiropractor will apply gentle pressure and stretching to targeted areas. This slow and intentional process allows the fascia to stretch and release gradually. The therapy is generally comfortable, with most patients experiencing relief and relaxation. Sessions typically last 20-30 minutes, depending on the treated area.

So my story:
I had a bad car accident back in 2017 that fractured my left wrist, one of my ribs, my neck seized up and couldent move it to the left, and did something to my lower back where later on it went out where it was consistently going out of alignment. Think of you back as an upside down T, as the ( --- ) is the hips/waist and the ( | ) as the spine. My Spine is a (《 ) and my hips is ( / ), higher on one side then the other. This has caused excessive pain at some points. 8 years later I'm still going for monthly maintenance to keep everything in check. My neck can move after a few treatments and I still get the "rice crispy cereal popping sound" but I don't think that'll ever go away but it's jot as loud and I can move my neck. My lower back is the stubborn problem at this point.
They started doing the shockwave therapy maybe a few years ago at this point and I was a difficult patient to get to try it with all the adjustments and the money I was spending when my back would flare up and really be out of alignment and sometimes have 3 visits a week. I gave in and started the shockwave which made them so happy, and myself after. It was night an day difference. Now I know if I have a flairup that option is there. Due to how well the shockwave treatment works, I have not had many flairups because it works. It breaks down the swelling, inflammation, scar tissue, increases blood flow...etc. My muscles are not pulling my waist as tight in one direction anymore.
Now my most recent issue which one would think why the Chiropractor for this. I woke up the other week and couldent walk on my foot. Thought I stepped wrong at work and pulled a muscle. Over a few days it swelled and got worse. I ended up calling the office to get in for Shockwave knowing it helped my back before. I had, and have, Edema in my right foot, ankle, and calf. It was swollen. Like a balloon. They did the shock and Dr Chris told me to still see my primary which I did and found the reason for it and treating that as well. The Shockwave therapy REMOVED AND DRAINED THE EDEMA!!!! It's not a one time fix due to the cause of the Edema but just had another treatment and still a few more to go. The progress is amazing. I'll upload the before and after pic and you can determine yourself. It's just WOW!
Like i said, I love the treatment, the staff, and I'll continue to come here because if it wasn't for them, I'd be falling apart more then I am now. They keep me tuned up.
(Sorry the after pic of my un swollen foot doesn't show much of the ankle)
