FAKTR (Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehab): Advanced Care for Musculoskeletal Pain
At Pain Relief Chiropractic, we offer FAKTR (Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehab), a specialized and advanced chiropractic treatment method designed to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Led by Dr. Pouya Mahmoudian Esfahani and Dr. Mitra Beiraghdar, FAKTR combines soft tissue therapy and rehabilitation exercises to treat sports injuries, acute pain, and chronic conditions, helping you return to your active lifestyle faster.
What is FAKTR?
FAKTR stands for Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehab, an innovative treatment system that integrates soft tissue techniques with functional rehabilitation. This method combines the principles of chiropractic care with therapeutic exercises to address both the immediate symptoms and the root causes of pain. FAKTR is commonly used to treat acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries, enhance mobility, and improve long-term function.
Unlike traditional treatments, FAKTR addresses the entire body by incorporating movement-based techniques and exercises alongside soft tissue manipulation to support the body’s natural healing processes.

How FAKTR Works
FAKTR uses a combination of soft tissue techniques and functional rehabilitation exercises to treat musculoskeletal pain and injury. The process focuses on functional movement, allowing you to regain mobility and strength while simultaneously reducing pain and improving performance.
Here’s how the FAKTR method works:
-
Soft Tissue Therapy: Your chiropractor will use specialized soft tissue techniques, such as instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), deep tissue massage, and trigger point therapy, to target the injured or tense muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
-
Movement-Based Treatment: After addressing soft tissue dysfunction, FAKTR incorporates rehabilitation exercises aimed at restoring normal movement patterns, improving flexibility, and strengthening weakened muscles.
-
Functional Rehabilitation: In addition to treating the pain, FAKTR focuses on restoring the function of the affected area. This may include exercises that mimic the movement patterns required for daily activities or sports performance.
-
Pain Relief and Healing: By combining soft tissue work with functional exercises, FAKTR helps reduce pain, improve healing times, and prevent future injuries by addressing the underlying cause of pain, not just the symptoms.
Benefits of FAKTR

Targeted Pain Relief: FAKTR helps alleviate pain by treating the root causes of musculoskeletal pain using a combination of soft tissue therapy and functional exercises.

Prevention of Future Injuries: By addressing muscle imbalances and dysfunctional movement patterns, FAKTR can help prevent the recurrence of injuries.
-

Is FAKTR Safe?
Yes, FAKTR is a safe and effective treatment method. Our chiropractors are specially trained in this technique to ensure that each treatment is applied properly and safely. FAKTR is non-invasive and does not involve medication or surgery. Some patients may experience mild soreness or discomfort following the treatment, similar to the sensation of working out, but this usually subsides within a day or two.
What to Expect During a FAKTR Session
When you visit Pain Relief Chiropractic for a FAKTR session, you can expect the following:
-
Consultation and Evaluation: Your chiropractor will begin by assessing your condition, medical history, and lifestyle. This will help determine the best treatment plan for your needs.
-
Soft Tissue Techniques: Depending on your condition, your chiropractor will apply soft tissue techniques like instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), deep tissue massage, or other manual therapies to address the affected muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
-
Rehabilitation Exercises: After addressing soft tissue issues, you will participate in functional rehabilitation exercises designed to restore movement, strength, and flexibility.
-
Progress Monitoring: Your chiropractor will monitor your progress throughout the treatment process, making adjustments to the treatment plan as needed to ensure the best results.
How Many FAKTR Sessions Will I Need?
The number of FAKTR sessions required depends on your specific condition and how long you’ve been dealing with the issue. Some patients experience relief after just a few sessions, while others may need ongoing treatment over several weeks. Your chiropractor will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan that meets your needs and helps you reach your recovery goals.
