Active Release Techniques (A.R.T)® is a patented, state-of-the-art technique that treats injuries. This includes injuries to muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves (soft tissue). We can use A.R.T.® to address problems such as headaches, shoulder pain, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome. Even back pain, sciatica, knee pain, shin splints and plantar fasciitis are injuries that A.R.T.® can treat.
Scar tissue, which we refer to as adhesions, can form in the soft tissue. It is often the overlooked reason that injuries occur. Whether the injury is traumatic, acute, and chronic or due to overuse, A.R.T.® is an extremely effective technique.
Active people are frequently troubled with nerve, muscle and skeletal issues. This is due to overuse and sometimes injury. Most injuries are almost always a combination of soft-tissue and joint problems. The Back to Health Chiropractic & Acupuncture Wellness Center quickly returns such patients to their active lifestyle.
Each treatment session is a combination of both examination and treatment. The doctor uses his hands to evaluate the texture, tension, and movement pattern of the soft tissues involved. By combining precise tension with specific patient movements, problematic tissue is improved.
There are over 500 specific treatment protocols unique to A.R.T.® Combining the specificity of the protocols, the properly applied tension, and the precise patient movements set A.R.T.® apart from other soft tissue treatments.
