Soft Tissue Therapy in
Saratoga Springs

Target the Source. Relieve Pain. Restore Function.

At Turning Point Chiropractic in Saratoga Springs, we go beyond spinal adjustments to help you feel and function your best. Our comprehensive approach includes advanced soft tissue therapy techniques designed to release muscle tension, break up scar tissue, and restore normal movement patterns. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic tightness, or seeking to improve performance, our soft tissue therapies can help speed up your recovery and reduce pain naturally.

What Is Soft Tissue Therapy?

Soft tissue therapy targets the muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and connective tissue that support and move your body. Injuries, repetitive strain, poor posture, or overtraining can cause these tissues to become tight, inflamed, or dysfunctional.

Our Saratoga Springs chiropractic office offers a variety of proven techniques to:

  • Reduce muscle tension and inflammation

  • Improve circulation and healing

  • Break down adhesions and scar tissue

  • Increase flexibility and range of motion

  • Complement chiropractic adjustments for longer-lasting results

Our Soft Tissue Therapy Techniques

Active Release Techniques® (ART)

Restore normal movement. Relieve chronic tension.
ART is a hands-on, highly targeted therapy that treats problems with muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Dr. Adam Favro uses his hands to evaluate the texture, tightness, and movement of soft tissues, then applies precise pressure while guiding the patient through specific movements. ART is especially effective for:

  • Repetitive strain injuries (e.g., carpal tunnel, tennis elbow)

  • Shoulder impingement

  • Low back and neck pain

  • Sports injuries

  • Sciatica and nerve entrapments

Graston Technique® / IASTM

Break down scar tissue. Promote healing.
Graston, also known as Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), uses specialized stainless-steel instruments to detect and treat areas of soft tissue restriction. These tools allow for deeper, more focused treatment than hands alone, helping to:

  • Reduce scar tissue and adhesions

  • Restore fascial mobility

  • Improve joint function and range of motion

  • Speed up recovery from acute and chronic injuries

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (E-Stim)

Reduce pain and re-educate muscles.
E-stim uses low levels of electrical current to stimulate targeted muscles and nerves. This therapy can help:

  • Decrease pain and inflammation

  • Increase blood flow and healing

  • Re-educate muscles after injury

  • Prevent muscle atrophy in immobilized joints
    We use this therapy both before and after adjustments or manual therapy to enhance results.

Kinesiology Taping

Support movement. Reduce strain. Aid recovery.
Kinesiology tape is a flexible, latex-free tape applied to the skin to support muscles and joints without limiting motion. Taping can:

  • Reduce swelling and bruising

  • Improve posture and body awareness

  • Provide structural support during activity

  • Ease pressure on overused or injured tissues
    Kinesiology taping is often used as part of a complete treatment plan, especially for athletes or those recovering from sprains, strains, or chronic overuse injuries.

Conditions Soft Tissue Therapy Can Help With

  • Neck and back pain

  • Shoulder dysfunction and rotator cuff injuries

  • Tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow

  • Plantar fasciitis and foot pain

  • Sciatica and nerve entrapments

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome

  • TMJ dysfunction

  • Headaches and muscle tension

Why Combine Soft Tissue Therapy with Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic adjustments address joint alignment and nervous system function, but soft tissue therapy tackles the muscles and connective tissue that support and move those joints. When combined, these two therapies:

  • Speed up recovery

  • Improve flexibility and movement

  • Prevent recurrence of pain or injury

  • Promote long-lasting results
