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 results in many of these problems. Muscles suffer pulls and tears, known as micro trauma during exercise. Muscles may become starved for oxygen with continued use. Sometimes it is difficult for the individual to avoid these types of injuries.

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.

The ART session involves both exams and treatments. Chiropractors discover changes in muscle texture, signs of tightness and evaluate tendons, ligaments and nerves. When problems are discovered, the doctor provides treatment by applying tension to the damaged tissue and instructing patients to make specific moves.

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 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 takes a holistic view of the health of each individual patient. These doctors understand how problems in one part of the body can affect another part. Just as inflamed nerves in one's spine can lead to headache, soft tissue problems may bring patients debilitating health problems. Patients who receive health care from an active release chiropractor may benefit form both chiropractic therapy and ART the doctor has to provide.
