Enjoy Better Health With Help From Active Release Chiropractor

By Kathryn Neal


Like other types of chiropractors, an active release chiropractor offers noninvasive techniques to help patients experience better health. The therapy used in this type of treatment is considered state of the art in dealing with soft tissue systems. It can bring relief from problems associated with nerves, ligaments, tendons and muscles. As a result many find relief from back pain, headaches, shin splints, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, shoulder pain and many other conditions. Whereas traditional chiropractic deals with spinal causes of pain ART works with the soft tissues.

Muscle overuse can cause many different problems. It can lead to tears and pulls. Micro trauma may occur during exercise. In addition, muscles are sometimes starved for oxygen during exercise. Of these little injuries are unavoidable.

As the muscles heal, they can form tough and dense scar tissue in the area of the injuries. This scar tissue builds over time making muscles both shorter and weaker. The shorter muscles increase the tension on the tendons causing tendonitis. Nerves may be trapped in the scar tissue causing tingling, weakness and numbness. The person may suffer a reduced range of motion, loss of strength and pain.

Chiropractors understand the best solution to any health problem is to fix the underlying cause of it. Once the underlying cause is eliminated, the human body has exceptional healing powers. These powers can help to reduce pain and restore motion to the body.

During ART sessions, the doctor makes exams and provides treatment. The doctor of chiropractic will evaluate the tightness, texture and movement of muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves. If abnormal tissues are found the doctor provides treatment by directing precise tension on the tissue and having the patient make very specific movements.

These treatments are unique to ART and not practiced by many chiropractors. In addition to the help that is provided through chiropractic for spinal problems, this type of therapy allows the doctor to address specific conditions related to soft tissues. Patients who have not found help through normal chiropractic may be helped through this type of treatment.

As with other types of chiropractic treatment, chiropractors do not prescribe medication or use surgery with ART. If a patient needs these types of treatment he or she may be referred to another type of care giver to provide the services. However, many find that traditional chiropractic or ART is sufficient to allow the body to heal. They are able to experience better health without the side effects caused by other types of medicine.

Chiropractic offers a holistic view of patient's health. They understand how problems in one part of the body may affect other parts. Just as a pinched nerve in the spine can affect the pain in one's leg, problems in the soft tissues can result in debilitating health issues. Patients receiving health care from an active release chiropractor benefit from both chiropractic and ART.
