Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Massage (IASTM) is a precise manual therapy technique that uses specialized tools to treat soft tissue restrictions, scar tissue, and chronic muscle tightness. By applying controlled pressure with the instrument, your chiropractor can stimulate healing, improve circulation, and restore full range of motion in affected areas.
IASTM uses smooth, ergonomically designed tools to detect and treat areas of soft tissue dysfunction. The instrument allows the chiropractor to apply deeper, more consistent pressure than manual therapy alone. This helps break down scar tissue, increase blood flow, and trigger the body’s natural healing response—resulting in improved flexibility and less discomfort over time.
This therapy is commonly used at our Buffalo chiropractic clinic to help patients recover from pain, improve mobility, and support long-term healing.
Our team of dedicated and caring professionals is led by Dr. Alexi Fakhari, whose patients often use the words “trust” and “faith” to describe their high regard for him. Dr. Fakhari is known and admired by others in the field for his aggressive, “outside the box” approach to treatment, which has proved to be very effective in restoring athletes and many other patients to the lives and careers they love.
