Ernesto has been dealing with chronic pain since 2019, traveling all over the country trying to find relief.

He eventually found his way into our office, and after his first visit, his pain dropped to a 1-2. It is the first time in years that his pain has felt truly manageable.

Sometimes, the right treatment makes all the difference.

If you’ve been in chronic pain for 3+ months and have tried everything from massage to traditional chiropractics to physical therapy with no relief, DM us to see if adhesion release could be what your body needs!

Ahhh… the soundtrack of a productive session.

“Oh my gosh, that’s so much less pressure.”
“Oh wow… that’s way better.”
“I didn’t even know my head could go that far.”

For this patient, years of working as a dental hygienist has meant long days in challenging postures — leaning forward, rotating through the neck and shoulders, and holding tension for hours at a time.

Over time, that kind of repetitive strain can create adhesions that restrict how nerves and muscles move.

As we release those restrictions, the body often responds right away — and those little moments of relief become the soundtrack of the appointment.

And honestly, they never get old.

When nerves are inflamed, they can be incredibly sensitive.

What we often see as patients progress through treatment is that the nerves become less swollen and reactive. As that happens, the treatment passes themselves tend to feel more manageable because the overall sensitivity has decreased.

The last time we treated Seth, his long thoracic nerve was so inflamed that it was visibly popping out beneath the skin. We were hoping to capture it again on video today, but the nerve had calmed down so much that it was actually hard to see.

As you can hear him mention, the area was also far less sensitive and didn’t bother him nearly as much this time around.

These are encouraging signs that the body is adapting well to the changes we’re introducing and that we’re working in the right areas.

Adhesions can form for many reasons. If you’ve worked out consistently over your lifetime, whether in the gym or through sports, it’s common for the body to develop adhesions in response to repetitive movement patterns or periods of overuse.

Adhesions act like the body’s internal glue, binding nerves, muscles, and fascia together in areas where they should normally glide freely.

When a nerve becomes adhered to surrounding tissues, it can’t move the way it’s meant to. That often shows up as chronic muscle tightness, persistent aches or pain, early fatigue, or tension that never fully goes away.

In many cases, chronic tightness is the body’s protective response. Muscles may stay contracted to reduce tension on an irritated nerve by creating slack along its pathway.

To address this kind of ongoing tension, those adhesions need to be released, which is what you’re seeing in this video.
�🔹 Find the inflamed or restricted nerves�🔹 Identify the adhesions limiting their movement�🔹 Apply precise tension while an assistant moves the area to lengthen surrounding tissues

If you’ve been dealing with chronic pain, tightness, aches, tingling, etc. this approach may help uncover and address what’s driving that tension.

Do you have a tight neck or upper back?
Do you get pinching in the neck with certain movements?

✅ Pain for 3+ months?�✅ Already tried massage, physical therapy, acupuncture, or stretching with no lasting relief?

💬 Comment “NECK PAIN” if this sounds like you!

There are a lot of nerves and muscles in the neck and upper back that can contribute to chronic pain. That is why we spend the start of each session testing specific ranges of motion and palpating the patient to identify the unique issue for that patient on that day.

After each treatment pass, we retest the same movements to see what has shifted.

Check out how much range of motion can change in just two passes.

Here we’re treating two different nerves that run over the same muscle, which is part of the rotator cuff.

This muscle, the subscapularis, plays a major role in internal rotation of the shoulder. When adhesions restrict the nerves within or around the muscle, it can limit how freely the shoulder is able to move.

By releasing those key restrictions, we were able to restore much more comfortable internal rotation and improve overall range of motion.

Have you ever had a Morton’s neuroma?

People often describe it as feeling like there’s a pebble in their shoe, or like a sock is bunched up between their toes.

Some people choose surgery to remove the neuroma, only to have the symptoms return.

When that happens, it’s often because the underlying environment that created the problem hasn’t changed — things like pressure patterns through the foot or the way force is distributed when you walk.

What we’ve consistently seen is that many Morton’s neuromas involve adhesions affecting the nerves in the foot.

During surgery, the irritated nerve tissue is removed, but if the same stresses remain, the area can become irritated again over time.

Our goal is to address the restriction itself — freeing the nerve from surrounding tissues so it can move the way it’s meant to.

Here’s how we go about treating these neuromas.

If you work with us, you’re guaranteed to get Canister as homework!

Canister is our go-to core stability exercise. It’s simple to set up and surprisingly humbling.

Start here:
* Lie on your back
* Knees bent
* Feet flat on the floor

Note: If you feel any strain in your neck as your attempt canister, place a pillow, towel, or blanket under your head.

From this position, gently pull your shoulder blades together on your back body and down toward your hips. You may feel your ribs flare up…that’s normal.

Now take a full exhale (pursed lips can help). As you breathe out, feel your ribs soften down toward the floor and your core begin to engage.

If you’re unsure whether you’re engaging correctly, place your hands on the sides of your torso. Take a breath in. As you exhale, gently expand your sides outward into your hands while maintaining tension through the front and back of your core.

Then lightly engage your pelvic floor. A silly little cue we give: imagine you’re about to go to the bathroom — but you’re also holding it in. That subtle tension all the way around is your “canister.”

First progression:
Stay here and practice breathing while maintaining that engagement.

Next progression:
Bring your hips and knees to 90 degrees. Maintain your core tension and breath.

From there, slowly lower one heel at a time to tap the ground and return.

If you feel your core lose tension or your low back arch off the floor, that’s your fail point. Stop just before that and count it as your rep.

There are additional progressions that work with straight legs, arm movements, and variations that match your daily life and activities.

A stable core matters for everything you do. This is one of the best ways to build it intentionally and effectively.

Adhesions can form for many reasons. For this patient, a big contributor is her job. As a dental hygienist, she spends long hours in sustained, less-than-ideal postures, day after day.

Over time, those positions can irritate nearby nerves. In response, the surrounding muscles may tighten to create a bit of slack and reduce tension on the nerve. When that pattern repeats consistently, the body can begin laying down scar tissue, causing the nerve to adhere to the muscle and further perpetuate the issue.

In this clip, you can see and hear the immediate relief the patient experiences when one of these adhesions is released.

Erin is only a few treatments in, and she’s already noticing significant relief at work along with fewer headaches. We’re excited to continue supporting her and see how her progress unfolds.

Lee was one of our chiropractic patients that had hit a plateau in the progress that we were able to make. We were able to manage his symptoms to an extent, but they would always seem to come right back.

It wasn’t until we started to do the adhesion release work with Lee that we were starting to see actual shifts in his mobility, function, and pain! And now his body is able to handle the demands that he puts on it 🙌

🥵 Do you suffer from chronic pain?

✅ 3+ months?
✅ Already tried massage, physical therapy, acupuncture, stretching…

💬 ADHESION if this sounds like you!

If you feel like you’ve tried it all and are just stuck with your pain forever…

It’s probably our turn to give it a go 💪💪💪

What makes what we do different?
�We find the piece that is often overlooked: adhesions.

Adhesions are like glue that restrict your nerves and muscles from gliding the way they should.

Tension, limited mobility, and joint pain are often symptoms of adhesions — not the actual source of your pain.

Our providers are trained to:
🔹Find the inflamed or restricted nerves
🔹Identify the adhesions pinning them down
🔹Apply precise tension to tear the adhesion while our assistant moves the area to lengthen surrounding muscles and tissues

This restores nerve glide, reduces irritation, and helps your body move (and feel!) the way it’s supposed to.

💬 Comment ADHESION if you suspect this might be what’s holding YOU back.
