IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization)

At Evolve Chiropractic & Wellness, we are pleased to offer our patients the benefits of IASTM. IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) enables doctors to efficiently locate and treat individuals diagnosed with soft tissue dysfunction, through the use of specially designed instruments. These instruments magnify the abnormalities (scars, restrictions, and adhesion) in the fascia, and make it easier to detect and treat fascial dysfunction. They also provide doctors with a mechanical advantage, thus preventing overuse of the hands. Using a tool focuses the force through an area smaller than your finger, with less friction, allowing for more efficient treatment. The goal of the friction caused by the use of the instrument is to trigger an inflammatory healing response, which will stimulate the production of new collagen and proper, more functional, less painful healing.
