Discover the Healing Powers of IASTM

Are you feeling sore or stiff from sports, daily activities, or even a desk job? There’s an exciting solution waiting for you at Haven Chiropractic & Sports Medicine! Introducing IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization), a modern therapy that helps heal and prevent injuries, keeping you moving smoothly and pain-free.

What is IASTM?

IASTM stands for Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. It’s a cool way for Dr. Joseph Sullivan and their team at Haven Chiropractic & Sports Medicine, located at 2020 Hemmer Rd, Palmer, AK 99645, to help you feel better. Using special tools, they can gently fix the sore spots in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and more. This helps break down scar tissue (that’s the tough stuff that forms after an injury) and makes your muscles and tendons more flexible and happy!

How Does IASTM Work?

Imagine having little knots in a rope. IASTM is like using a smooth stick to gently untangle these knots. At Haven Chiropractic & Sports Medicine, we use cool tools like curved bars and rubber balls to press carefully on tight areas. This helps get rid of pain and swelling and makes the injured spot heal faster. Plus, it’s super quick and doesn’t hurt much, so you don’t need to worry about taking a break from your fun or work!
