New Jersey Chiropractor Treats Muscle Pain and Sports Injuries with Active Release Technique

Most of us are unaware of the hundreds of muscles constantly working throughout our bodies to pump blood and convert energy into motion, among other functions. They go unnoticed until an unexpected movement causes pain that can restrict or stop normal functioning.  Whether you're an avid runner or just like to take a walk every day, you shouldn't have to compromise your active lifestyle because of pain. If this is the case for you, Active Release Technique (ART) can be your solution.

ART is a new and highly effective treatment for most types of soft tissue injury, whether from trauma, repetitive motion or athletics. This highly advanced medically patented soft tissue system identifies specific structures (i.e. muscles, ligaments, nerves) that might have accumulated scar tissue. At first glance, active release might seem similar to a simple massage. But during this rigorous and interactive form of massage therapy, we apply pressure to the affected area while moving the surrounding muscles through a full range of motion. ART returns tissue to its correct tension, texture, movement and function, thus eliminating pain and associated symptoms.

Whether you require simple muscle pain treatment, sports injury treatment or nerve entrapment treatment, ART is effective for treating the symptoms of pain, decreased range of motion, numbness, tingling and weakness.
