Soft Tissue Chiropractic Care Greer SC

If you’ve been dealing with chronic pain, tightness, or recurring injuries, you’ve probably tried the usual routes—maybe a traditional chiropractor, massage therapy, or a round of physical therapy. And while those approaches can help in the short term, many people find themselves stuck in a frustrating cycle: temporary relief, then the same pain returns.

Why? Because most musculoskeletal pain isn’t just about the joints or the spine—it’s about the soft tissues surrounding them.

Muscles, fascia, tendons, and ligaments are the engine behind your body’s movement. When these tissues become overused, injured, or stuck in poor movement patterns, they develop adhesions, tension, and compensations that lock the body into dysfunction. These soft tissue restrictions can limit your range of motion, change how you move, and create pain patterns that adjustments alone can’t fix.

That’s where soft tissue chiropractic care comes in—and where Mountain Movement Chiropractic & Natural Health leads the way.

At Mountain Movement, we don’t stop at the spine. We integrate advanced hands-on therapies to address every layer of the movement system—muscles, fascia, nerves, and joints—so you can finally move and feel the way your body was designed to. Dr. Michael Day brings deep expertise in techniques like Active Release Technique (ART), myofascial therapy, and functional chiropractic to pinpoint the root cause of your pain and help you break free from it for good.

Conditions That Benefit from Soft Tissue Chiropractic Care

Chronic Neck and Back Pain

Soft tissue tension in the muscles and fascia surrounding the spine can lock joints in place, limit movement, and cause aching or sharp pain that lingers for years. Adjustments alone don’t resolve the muscular dysfunction behind it—but soft tissue release can.

Shoulder Tension / Frozen Shoulder

Stiffness, limited range of motion, or pain when lifting your arm? Adhesions in the rotator cuff, deltoid, or shoulder capsule often play a key role. Soft tissue work helps unlock the shoulder and restore full mobility.

Hip Flexor Strain and Tightness

Whether you sit all day or are constantly moving, tight hip flexors can wreak havoc on posture, the low back, and athletic performance. We release those deep layers of muscle and fascia to restore hip function and reduce compensation.

Carpal Tunnel & Wrist Issues

Tingling, numbness, or pain in the hand can stem from tightness in the forearm flexors or fascia, not just nerve compression at the wrist. Our targeted approach addresses the whole chain—from neck to fingertips—for real, lasting relief.

Sciatica and Piriformis Syndrome

When nerve pathways get compressed by tight or inflamed soft tissue, pain radiates down the leg. We release gluteal and hip muscle adhesions and improve tissue glide to take pressure off the nerve and restore balance.

Plantar Fasciitis

Foot pain isn’t always a foot problem. Adhesions in the calf, Achilles, and plantar fascia reduce shock absorption and create microtrauma with every step. Our soft tissue work improves motion across the whole lower chain.

TMJ & Jaw Pain

Tension in the muscles around the jaw, neck, and even upper back can contribute to clenching, headaches, and jaw dysfunction. We work directly on the involved soft tissue to reduce tightness and restore natural movement.

Repetitive Strain Injuries

Typing, lifting, running, and daily life can wear down soft tissues over time. Our care helps undo chronic overuse patterns and stop injuries from becoming long-term problems.

Limited Range of Motion

If stretching isn't working and joints still feel “stuck,” it’s likely due to soft tissue restrictions. We help restore true movement—not just temporary flexibility.

Sports Injuries and Performance Blocks

Adhesions, imbalances, and movement compensations limit athletic output and increase the risk of injury. We help athletes recover smarter and move more efficiently, whether they’re weekend warriors or competitive performers.

Techniques Used at Mountain Movement

Active Release Technique (ART)

ART is a gold-standard soft tissue therapy used by top athletes, physical therapists, and elite sports chiropractors around the world. It’s a hands-on system that identifies and releases muscle adhesions, nerve entrapments, and restricted fascia by combining targeted manual pressure with guided patient movement.

This technique allows us to:

• Break up scar tissue
• Improve blood flow and oxygen to tissues
• Restore mobility and elasticity in tight areas
• Reduce nerve irritation caused by soft tissue compression

Dr. Day is certified in ART and uses it as a precision tool to help patients recover faster, move more efficiently, and stay out of the pain cycle.

Myofascial Therapy

Your fascia is a web-like network of connective tissue that surrounds and supports every muscle, joint, and organ in the body. When it becomes restricted—from injury, poor posture, or repetitive stress—it can cause widespread tightness, reduced flexibility, and chronic compensation patterns.

Through myofascial therapy, we identify and treat:

• Stuck or dehydrated fascia that restricts movement
• “Trigger points” or pain referral patterns
• Global patterns of tension that affect posture and biomechanics

This technique is especially helpful for patients with chronic stiffness, poor posture, or pain that moves around but never fully resolves.

Functional Chiropractic Adjustments

Unlike high-volume clinics that focus on spine-only adjustments, our approach to chiropractic care is movement-based and highly specific to your functional needs. We assess your full kinetic chain—from the feet to the jaw—and adjust strategically to restore balance, mobility, and joint integrity.

These adjustments are:

• Gentle and precise
• Combined with soft tissue release for better results
• Designed to help you move better, not just feel relief for a few hours

By combining chiropractic care with soft tissue therapies, we create lasting change at both the structural and muscular levels—the kind of change that sticks.

Laser Therapy for Inflammation

Sometimes, soft tissue damage is not just about adhesions or tightness—it’s about deep, unresolved inflammation. That’s where our Class IV Laser Therapy comes in. Using light energy at specific wavelengths, this modality penetrates tissue to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and speed healing—all without any drugs or downtime.

We often incorporate laser therapy into care plans for:

• Swollen or inflamed joints
• Chronic tendinopathies
• Post-surgical healing
• Acute soft tissue injuries that are too tender for manual work

Laser accelerates your recovery while allowing us to address deeper dysfunctions more effectively and comfortably.

Neuro Reset for Muscle Activation

Releasing adhesions is only part of the puzzle—your nervous system needs to remember how to move properly. Through Neuro Reset, we work to restore proper communication between your brain and your body’s muscles.

Many people unknowingly rely on compensation patterns: muscles that should be firing are “offline,” while others do double the work. This leads to strain, instability, and inefficient movement.

With Neuro Reset, we:

• Test and activate underperforming muscles
• Rebuild motor control in key movement chains
• Improve balance, coordination, and strength
• Lay the foundation for long-term injury prevention

Especially for athletes, post-rehab patients, or those who feel “disconnected” from parts of their body, this step is crucial for lasting results.

The Day Method + Movement Instruction

Developed by Dr. Michael Day, The Day Method is Mountain Movement’s signature system for restoring real-life movement—not just relieving pain in the moment.

After addressing the soft tissue and joint issues, we teach you how to move with intention, balance, and strength. Every patient receives tailored movement instruction to reinforce what we’ve done on the table and support your body outside the clinic.

This includes:

• Joint-specific mobility drills
• Core stabilization and hip control exercises
• Movement education based on your job, sport, or lifestyle
• Postural training and everyday movement retraining

Whether you're squatting in a gym, picking up your toddler, or trying to avoid workplace tension, this method teaches you how to keep moving pain-free and prevent problems from coming back.

Start Moving Better. Feel Better. Live Better.
