SOFT TISSUE THERAPY - HARTFORD, SD
The best compliment to your adjustments.
Chiropractic adjustments address the spine and nervous system. But sometimes the tension lives in the muscle and soft tissue, and it needs to be addressed directly. That is where soft tissue therapy comes in.
We use cupping therapy, scrapping, myofascial release, and targeted soft tissue techniques as part of a complete care plan, particularly for postpartum mamas carrying constant upper back and neck tension from feeding, holding, and carrying their babies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is soft tissue therapy and what does it include?
Soft tissue therapy works directly with the muscles, fascia, and connective tissue beyond what a spinal adjustment alone can reach. We use cupping therapy, scrapping, myofascial release, and targeted muscle work to address deep tension patterns and chronic tightness. It is frequently combined with adjustments for a more complete result.
Who is soft tissue therapy most helpful for?
It is particularly effective for postpartum mamas with chronic upper back and neck tension from feeding, holding, and carrying their baby. We also use it for pregnancy-related muscle tension, shoulder and hip restrictions, tension headaches, and long-standing tightness that has not fully resolved with adjustments alone.
Does cupping leave marks and is it painful?
Cupping can leave temporary circular marks where the cups are placed, this is normal and simply reflects increased circulation to the area. Most patients describe it as a releasing pressure rather than discomfort and the marks fade within a few days. We always discuss what to expect beforehand and adjust to your comfort level throughout.
