Pain Reduction Therapy Soft tissue mobilization/massage Soft tissue mobilization/massage: Dr. Grisanti has had over 20 years of experience and is trained in many different forms of massage and mobilization when treating the neck. Massage has been shown to calm pain and spasm by helping muscles relax, by bringing in a fresh supply of oxygen and nutrient-rich blood, and by flushing the area of chemical irritants that come from inflammation. Soft tissue treatments can help tight muscles relax, getting them back to a normal length. This will help you begin to move with less pain and greater ease. Dr. Grisanti has special training in a variety of different ways to mobilize or massage. Myofascial release techniques help restore better movement by getting the thick layer of fascia below the skin and around muscles to "give". Strain-counter-strain is a type of therapy that is especially helpful when tender points are causing muscles to restrict movement. The treatment is usually done in a way that the muscle is put in a special position, usually where the muscle is shortest. The position is held long enough to "reset" the nerve input to the muscle.

Joint mobilization: These are graded pressures and movements. Gentle
graded pressures help lubricate joint surfaces, easing stiffness and
helping you begin moving with less pain. Pain that is left unchecked can
quickly escalate to an uncomfortable "cycle of pain and muscle
guarding." In other words, the pain can make your muscles go into
spasm, in which your muscles try to guard the sore joints, keeping you
from wanting to move your neck at all. When movement stops, your brain
gets an uninterrupted flow of pain sensation. Ouch! This leads to a
cycle of even more muscle spasm and pain because your muscles try to
"protect" you from painful movement. By applying gentle
pressure, or mobilizations, Dr. Grisanti will begin to halt the flow of
pain information, which helps muscles relax. Once your muscles begin to
relax, you will begin to feel other sensations than pain. As your pain
eases, more vigorous grades of mobilization may be used to lengthen
tissues around the joint helping restore better movement in your neck.
