Spinal adjustments are the major care method used to relieve pain among injured clients. This care aligns the spinal vertebrae when they are subluxated, meaning they are out of place. A subluxation causes pressure against the small, semi-liquid discs that lie between the vertebrae. These are not the only injuries that occur. For soft tissue damage, Long Island Active Release Techniques Therapy is appropriate.

This is a patented protocol that requires training beyond what the licensed chiropractor completes to achieve certification. Soft tissue damage is the intended purview of these professionals. Texture and function are restored to the soft tissues. ART releases blood vessels and nerves that may be trapped in adhesions.

Adhesions can develop after a serious injury, repetitive motion, such as what occurs to cause carpal tunnel syndrome, or ongoing pressure. Tension is relaxed. Active Release Technique alleviates or eliminates the associated pain.

In preparation for being certified in ART, the licensed chiropractor learns more than five-hundred care protocols. These use pressure, tension and motion. The technique enables the muscle and tissue layers to function together in the correct way.

If traditional methods are not able to eliminate the root cause of adhesions and other features of a soft tissue abnormality, ART will often be able to do so. This advanced training prepares for this capability. Usually the individual will require six to ten applications.

The human body is viewed as one single unit by this practitioner. Care is applied to soft tissue beyond the area where the injury is located. ART practitioners are prepared to use these tactics because they are trained in biomedical analysis. ART is used to return the body to its original functioning.

This is a non-invasive method of chiropractic care without side effects. One unusual factor is that there can be a mild feeling of pain as the adhesions are being broken down. This discomfort does not extend beyond a brief moment. It is gone before the session has ended. Clients report a feeling of release that accompanies the mild and temporary pain.
