Muscle Scraping
Instrument-assisted soft tissue work to break up adhesions and speed recovery.
What Is Muscle Scraping?
Muscle scraping (an instrument-assisted soft tissue technique) uses a smooth tool to apply controlled pressure across the skin, helping to break up adhesions and scar tissue, increase local blood flow, and improve tissue mobility.
Who This Can Help
- Chronic muscle tightness and restricted mobility
- Scar tissue from old injuries
- Athletes recovering from repetitive strain or overuse
- Patients looking to speed recovery between chiropractic visits
How It Fits Into Your Treatment Plan
Muscle scraping is rarely used in isolation — it's typically layered into a broader treatment plan alongside chiropractic adjustments or dry needling, depending on what your specific condition calls for. Dr. Thigpen will determine which combination is right for you during your initial examination.
