Soft Tissue Solutions

Welcome!

I'm Dr. Karen Slota of Soft Tissue Solutions – an innovative practice with offices conveniently located in Farmington Hills and Royal Oak, Michigan.

Unlike other facilities that provide a single form of treatment such as chiropractic, Soft Tissue Solutions offers a comprehensive, holistic approach to healthcare. We employ a combination of disciplines in treatment plans individually tailored to meet the wide-ranging needs of our patients.

The primary soft tissue techniques we use include: Active Release Techniques (ART), WINBACK Therapy, Cupping, and Sound-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization Technique (SASTM). We also incorporate Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), biomechanical analysis, strength training, and conditioning to provide a total solution – a solution that not only heals injuries but also prevents problems from recurring.

The personalized care and state-of-the-art treatments offered by Soft Tissue Solutions will help you quickly regain and maintain your health and mobility.

  1. Active Release Techniques

    Active Release Techniques (ART) use a unique combination of pressure, tension, and motion to separate, release, and stretch the connective tissue adhesions that arise from cumulative trauma or overuse injuries. The result – reduced pain, restored vascular and lymph circulation, and increased range of motion, flexibility, and strength.

    Many patients experience complete recovery after only 5–10 visits, although this depends on the severity of the injury. ART can be used to successfully treat conditions including tendonitis, post-operative scar tissue, carpal tunnel syndrome, and whiplash.

  2. Cupping

    Cupping therapy is a non-invasive therapy which stimulates healing in areas of soft tissue injury or restriction. It works by improving blood flow to the area. Cupping can also disrupt the neurological feedback loop that causes muscle tension and pain.

    Most patients begin to feel relief almost immediately after their session, with improvement continuing as the residual bruising heals. Cupping can be used to treat both acute and chronic pain and for injury rehabilitation.

  3. WINBACK Therapy

    WINBACK is a state-of-the-art enhancement to manual therapy. It uses non-invasive high-frequency current to eliminate pain, free up movement, and accelerate healing. In short, it helps speed recovery when used along with other manual treatments.

    Most patients find they heal faster and come back better able to prevent re-injury. WINBACK can be used to treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal issues, including muscle tears, ligament injuries and arthritis pain.
