Myofascial Treatment Aids Microcirculation.
Impaired blood flow to the smallest blood vessels in the circulatory system is commonly observed in patients with musculoskeletal disorders and is associated with pain intensity, pain duration, and disability. With the aid of laser-doppler flowmetry and videofluoroscopic imaging, investigators observed that myofascial treatment—a therapy performed by doctors of chiropractic—results in an immediate improvement in microcirculation in the immediate area, especially in patients with a musculoskeletal disorder such as neck or shoulder pain.
