Science Agrees… Fascial Therapy is Good for You!

February 6, 2019

We are bombarded by suggestions on improving health or remaining healthy today. Google the words ‘improve health’, and you will see an unbelievable 1,620,000,000 results! (That’s a lot of zeroes!) From exercise tips to the never-ending stream of diets, pills, foods (good or bad), breathing techniques and much more, the list goes on and on. But has anyone ever told you to that keeping your fascia healthy is an essential part of your overall health and well-being? Well, it is, and here’s why fascial therapy is beneficial…

What is Fascia?

According to Stedman’s Medical Dictionary, fascia is “a sheet of fibrous tissue that envelops the body beneath the skin; it also encloses muscles and groups of muscles and separates their several layers or groups.” But that does not tell the whole story. Fascia is categorized into four types, each with its properties and functions. Superficial fascia surrounds the body and includes subcutaneous fat; deep fascia surrounds the musculoskeletal system; meningeal fascia surrounds the nervous system; visceral fascia surrounds body cavities and organs.

Why Fascia is Important

While each type of fascia plays it’s own role, in general, fascia provides a supportive and moveable wrapping for nerves and blood vessels and is very important to how we move. Fascia holds the entire body together; when it’s healthy, it is flexible and supple. Conversely, unhealthy fascia is sticky, tight and flakey and causes movement restrictions and distortions like muscle knots. As with most conditions, many things can lead to unhealthy fascia.

Some of those things include:

  • poor posture
  • overuse of muscles
  • unhealthy eating habits
  • poor sleep
  • stress
  • a sedentary lifestyle

Treating Fascia

As you might imagine, unhealthy fascia is very common. However, treating unhealthy fascia is not only easy but fast, and it makes you feel good, too. Fascial therapy, sometimes referred to as myofascial therapy, is a safe and effective stretching technique that releases tightness and pain throughout the body, often resulting in immediate relief.

Advances in Understanding Fascia

More and more emphasis is being placed on maintaining healthy fascia. With all of the information coming forward, it is little wonder that the scientific community would get involved. Studies are being conducted; doctors are touting the positive effects of fascial therapy. A conference dedicated entirely to fascia research is now in its fifth year. And science agrees: fascial treatment is good for you.

If you want to learn more about how fascial therapy can benefit you, the Georgia Chiropractic Neurology Center team is here to help. By staying abreast of the latest research, we offer the latest techniques in fascial therapy, trigger point therapy, massage therapy, and more. We are proud members of the Fascial Research Society, meeting regularly to put the latest techniques into clinical practice.

    I'm so grateful to have found GCNC! The worst of my issues when I came here was P.O.T.S and Vertigo. They have helped SO much with both of these things and have been an advocate for my care in other areas. I recommend any and everyone who is having problems to go see them. Everyone in the office is wonderful!

    I have had vertigo for the past 2 years and have seen several specialists. I had to stop driving and was unable to work. GCNC helped me get my life back, I can drive again and I am back to work. Thank you!

    Georgia Chiropractic Neurology Center diagnosed and resolved my vertigo issue. I was able to get immediate relief from dizziness on the first visit, with no drugs or side effects. I was able to drive myself to work, sleep comfortably in my bed, instead of a recliner and get back to my daily activities. The staff is super knowledgeable and professional. They are the real deal. I'm grateful that they have restored my health.

    I recently experienced excruciating neck pain after a long day of travel. I contacted the Georgia Chiropractic Neurology Center as I had heard they do incredible work. My case is fairly complicated as I broke my neck 10 years ago and I’m fused at 3 levels with plates and screws etc. The GCNC is a state of the art facility and the staff are top notch and friendly. After two treatments I was pain free and remain so after several weeks. As a former extreme athlete I have seen my fair share of specialists all over the world. The GCNC is the best I’ve ever been treated by.

    "The whole workforce at Georgia Chiropractic Neurology Center is amazing. They have gone out of their way to treat me, as I came from the UK, and have been incredibly kind and dedicated during the process. I have been treated for over 10 years by various different chiropractors, but nothing has worked for me, until now. I couldn't recommend Georgia Chiropractic Neurology Center enough."

There is not one standard fix for anyone, Dr Ellis feels how your body is working and comes up with your own individual healing plan. He encompasses the whole body, starting with your brain. It’s the most incredible, minimal pain, whole body healing I have ever experienced!!!"

    "After suffering from many concussions and their related symptoms for years, Dr.Ellis and his amazing staff of doctors treated me over the course of two weeks. I’m happy to say that thanks to them I now feel so, so much better. No more vertigo, dizziness, ringing in my ears or mood swings. I can now get back to living and not just existing.

    “I have been a patient at Georgia Chiropractic neurology center since 2011. Over the years they have helped me recover from many different injuries. Knee pain, back pain and headache. However, I must say that what I am most grateful for, is the neurologic rehabilitation I received after multiple concussions. A big thank you to everyone at Georgia Chiropractic neurology center. “

    "The staff has been nothing short of amazing. I came into the office with major back issues causing me to barely be able to stand up and walk. After only a few sessions my back issue began to go away and I was able to walk straight again. This place is perfect! Thanks so much...”

    "Dr. Ellis and his team are excellent! The entire experience from intake procedures to the completeness of the examination and diagnostic recommendations are unique, logical and useful in your recovery. As a chiropractor myself, I was extremely impressed with the office itself, his bedside manner and ability to get to the heart of the matter, a great diagnostician! I left with useful information on how to help myself and am now hopeful for a full recovery! If you have not been satisfied with the standard medical treatment for your difficult condition, you owe it to yourself to consult with Dr. Ellis and his team of doctors at Georgia Chiropractic Neurology Center!!"

    "Because of Georgia Chiropractic Neurology Center, I am very close of living the life I used to live. I was diagnosed with Generalized Dystonia in the Spring of 2016 and it quickly progressed until I met Dr. Ellis and his amazing team. I am incredibly grateful for the care and support that they provide. They have become a HUGE part of my life and feel like family."
