0 Active Release Chiropractor Helps Patients Enjoy Better Health

By Kathryn Neal


Like other kinds of chiropractors, the active release chiropractor provides noninvasive help that allows patients to experience healthier living. The therapy provided with this kind of therapy is new in the field of chiropractic and helps to deal with injuries of the soft tissues. It brings relief from problems affecting the nerves, muscles tendons and ligaments. Many using this treatment have found they are able to experience relief from conditions including headaches, shin splints, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and many other conditions as well. Although traditional chiropractic is more focused on adjustments of the spine, ART is used when the soft tissues are the source of an individual's problems.

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 body encounters these factors, dense, tough scar tissue can be formed in the area affected. Such scar tissue can build up making muscles weaker and shorter. This increases the tension on the tendons, resulting in tendonitis. Nerves can become trapped leading to weakness, numbness and tingling. The condition can reduce one's range of motion, affect strength and cause 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 the ART session, the doctor provides an exam and offers treatment. Chiropractors look for signs of tightness, changes in texture and evaluate muscle movement, tendons, ligaments and nerves. When abnormal tissues are located, the doctor offers treatment by directing tension to the tissue and instructing the patient to make specific moves.

These types of therapy are unique to those who offer ART. However, chiropractors may also use other chiropractic techniques with certain problems. Both types of therapy can be used in addressing specific underlying causes of pain. If relief is not found from normal chiropractic, this type of advanced therapy may help to bring one pain relief.

As with any other type of chiropractic care, the doctors do not rely on medication or surgery when using ART. If patients have specific needs that require these types of treatment, they will be referred to other kinds of medical care providers for the treatment. However, many have found the help of traditional chiropractic and ART are all that are needed. This helps them to avoid the side effects that can result from other kinds of treatments.

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.
