Myofascial Release Effective for Neck and Arm Pain in Fanwood

Myofascial release (MFR) is a hands-on technique commonly used by doctors of chiropractic in Fanwood that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into connective tissue restrictions to help eliminate pain and restore motion.

A recent study set out to compare the effects of six MFR treatments on the arm and neck with traditional physiotherapy against six sessions of traditional treatment (hot moist pack, TENS, and stretching and strengthening exercise) on 40 neck pain patients with referred arm pain.

The results showed that patients in the MFR treatment group experienced faster improvement in their upper limb and neck pain than those in the traditional treatment group.
