All About FAKTR at the Chiropractic Clinic Meridian, ID Recommends

What is FAKTR?

Here at Empowered Chiropractic and Fitness, we offer FAKTR, a hierarchical system/concept of how to approach a patient and treat them based on the severity of their condition. Sometimes, the more severe soft tissue injuries cannot handle more complex forms of treatment (this includes taking into account a pain tolerance factor).

The system we use at our chiropractic clinic in Meridian, ID involves the provocation of pain of the soft tissue, which ranges from no motion and no mechanical load of the muscle to motion without mechanical load and motion with mechanical load. It utilizes kinesiology tape and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Massage (IASTM).

Conditions That Respond Well to FAKTR

• Bursitis
• Delayed onset muscle soreness
• Edema reduction
• Fascial syndromes
• Ligament sprains
• Muscle strains
• Nerve entrapement syndromes
• Scar tissue/adhesions
• Tendinopathies

When all is said and done, the majority of soft tissues should fully recover and return to a normal state when properly treated. Remember that proper treatment for any soft tissue injuries requires nutritional interventions as well.
