Dr. Segarra offers the Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) Technique at Harrisburg Chiropractic and Wellness Center to effectively treat soft tissue injuries and chronic pain. This innovative approach uses special stainless steel instruments to detect and break down scar tissue, helping patients recover faster and regain mobility. The technique’s precision allows us to target specific problem areas that may not respond to traditional treatments.
How This Modality Helps You Heal
During your session, Dr. Segarra gently glides the metal instruments across your skin, identifying areas of restriction or scar tissue. These specially designed tools amplify what his hands can feel, allowing for precise treatment of problem areas. The controlled pressure helps break down restrictive areas, stimulate blood flow, and promote healing at the cellular level.
A Different Option for Enhanced Healing
Most patients describe the sensation as a firm massage-like pressure. While you might experience mild discomfort during treatment, this indicates the technique is effectively targeting problem areas. Sessions typically last 15-20 minutes, and many patients notice improvement in their range of motion immediately after. We often combine Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) with specific exercises to enhance your results.
Our patients have seen good outcomes for:
- Back and neck pain
- Tennis and golfer’s elbow
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Achilles tendinosis
- IT band syndrome
- Plantar fasciitis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Athletic injuries
- Post-surgical scarring
- Chronic muscle tension
Complementing the Benefits of Care
This technique offers several advantages over traditional soft tissue treatments. Patients typically experience faster recovery times and improved outcomes compared to manual therapy alone. The targeted approach helps reduce inflammation, break up restrictive scar tissue, and improve range of motion. Many patients report lasting relief from chronic conditions that haven’t responded to other treatments.
