These physical
medicine services compliment our chiropractic care: Active Release Technique
(ART)
ART is a patented,
state of the art soft tissue system/movement based manual
technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments,
fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome,
shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee
problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions
that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These
conditions all have one important thing in common: they are
often a result of overused muscles. For more information

Active Release website. |

Dry Needling
Myofascial Trigger Point/Tender Point Dry Needling is a physical
medicine / adjunctive / physiologic therapeutic and diagnostic
technique/procedure whose purpose is to neutralize dysfunctional
soft tissue and restore or improve muscle and fascial function.
This treatment acts to mechanically disrupt physiologically
locked soft tissue. This is accomplished by inserting by hand
monofilament, sterile, thin gauge needles. These soft tissue
entities in the periphery are influenced by and influence the
central and peripheral nervous systems. |

Kinesio Taping
The Kinesio Taping Method is designed to
facilitate the body’s natural healing process while allowing
support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting
the body’s range of motion. It is used to successfully treat a
variety of orthopedic, neuromuscular, neurological and medical
conditions. Both Kinesio® Tex Tape and the training protocol
have shown results that would have been unheard of using older
methods and materials. |

Postural
Training
This may be one of the
most important aspects of our care for quality of life.
The majority of our daily activities such as working on the
computer places us in poor posture. Our postural
assessment will determine which muscle groups are weak and which
are tight contributing to muscle imbalances resulting in poor
posture. |
