Active Release Chiropractor Helps Patients Find Better Health

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 one's muscles heal they may form scar tissue that is thicker and denser than the surrounding muscle. Over time, such tissue can build making muscles weaker and shorter. The shortened muscles result in tension on the tendons resulting in tendonitis. Nerves can be trapped inside scar tissue resulting in a tingling sensation and muscular weakness. The reduced range of motion can cause pain.

Chiropractors understand the body is a whole and that taking care of one's underlying problem is often the key to bringing relief of symptoms experienced. Once the underlying cause is eliminated, the body has exceptional healing power. Proper motion can be restored to the body during the process.

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 therapies are unique to chiropractors offering ART. However, such doctors can also provide chiropractic for the specific problems. With both types of therapy, specific conditions related to the cause of one's pain can be addressed. Patients who do not find relief with normal chiropractic may find pain relief through this type of advanced treatment.

As with other kinds of care from chiropractic doctors, this therapy does not rely on surgery or medication. If patients have specific need that require surgery or medication, they are referred to other medical care practitioners who are able to provide the particular therapy. However, many will find that the noninvasive help provided by both traditional chiropractic treatment and ART will bring relief of their pain. They are able to avoid many of the unwanted side effects that other kinds of treatment may bring.

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.
