Soft Tissue Therapy Chicago
Soft tissue therapy in Chicago for tight muscles, sore tendons and stiff spots that keep coming back. At True Precision Rehab in River North, Dr. Parth Sharma, DC uses hands-on work to ease the muscles, tendons and connective tissue that limit how you move. It is one part of a full plan, paired with adjustments and exercise so the change lasts.
When soft tissue therapy can help
Soft tissue therapy fits when pain sits in the muscle and the tissue around it, more than in a joint. People most often come to us with:
-
Tight neck and upper-trap muscles from long hours at a desk
-
Low back and hip tightness after sitting, lifting or running
-
A muscle that feels pulled and never fully settled
-
Sore calves, hamstrings or hips that slow your training
-
Stiffness and scar tissue after an old injury
-
Tension that spreads into the shoulder blade or arm
See a doctor or urgent care first if you have sudden severe pain after a fall or hit, a swollen, warm, red calf, fever with pain, chest pain, or loss of bladder or bowel control. Tell us if you take blood thinners or have a skin problem in the area, and we will adjust the plan.
How soft tissue therapy works
Soft tissue means muscles, tendons, ligaments and the thin wrap of fascia around them. When these tissues are overworked, they get tight, tender and short on movement. Hands-on work uses focused pressure and guided stretching to loosen the tight areas and help the layers glide again. You may feel deep pressure that eases as the tissue relaxes. We work the spots your exam points to, not the whole body the same way.
Our soft tissue therapy process
-
Assessment first. We find which tissues and joints are driving your pain, and check how you sit, breathe and move.
-
Targeted hands-on work. Dr. Sharma works the areas your exam points to, at a pressure you can handle.
-
Add what fits. Dry needling, cupping or shockwave when they suit the same area.
-
Exercise to keep it. You leave with a short routine so the tissue does not tighten right back up.
Mild soreness for a day or so is normal, a lot like the day after a hard workout.
Cost of soft tissue therapy in Chicago
We don't post one flat price, because the cost depends on a few things:
-
How long the visit is and how many areas we treat
-
Whether soft tissue work is part of a full visit or a short follow-up
-
Whether you book single visits or one of our 8- or 12-week programs
-
What your insurance plan covers for the visit
Call (773) 906-4280 and we will give you a clear number before you book.
Soft tissue therapy questions
Does soft tissue therapy hurt?
You may feel deep pressure on tight spots. It should feel like a good ache, not sharp pain. Tell us if it is too much and we will back off right away.
How is it different from a relaxation massage?
Our work follows an exam and a plan. We aim at the tissues linked to your pain and pair it with joint care and exercise. The goal is a change in how you move, not only a calm hour.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on how long the problem has been there and what is driving it. A fresh strain often needs fewer visits. Pain that has lasted months usually needs a few weeks of care. We will tell you what to expect after your assessment.
