What is ART?
ART is a specific, non- invasive soft tissue treatment that is designed to treat musculoskeletal disorders. ART was designed to address muscles, ligaments, nerves and tendons. The technique focuses on breaking up adhesions. Adhesions can be caused by overuse, injuries, trauma or poor posture. Addressing the problem will help to increase blood flow and range of motion; reduce pain and dysfunction.
Here are some examples of conditions that we have treated using Active Release Techniques:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Tennis and golfer’s elbow
- Headaches
- Strain and sprains
- Plantar fasciitis
What does a treatment look like?
At every treatment, the chiropractors use their hands to evaluate texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, nerves and ligaments. Specific tension is applied to the abnormal tissue with specific patient movements.
Our approach:
At Santa Clara Custom Chiropractic, we have treated many different types of conditions using ART and other myofascial release techniques. Our chiropractors have a hands- on approach to treatment which looks like a combination of soft tissue work, using modalities such as cupping or IASTM, manual adjustments and an at home stretch/ exercise program.
