Find Relief With ART
Our bodies go through a lot. Over time, injuries, stress, and other things can result in large amounts of scar tissue in our bodies. Scar tissue build-up can cause pain, discomfort, and loss of range of motion.
At Glenwood Sport & Spine, our doctors will identify the source of your pain. We’ll work with you to create a treatment plan, including Active Release and chiropractic, that gets you on the path to recovery.
What Is Active Release?
Active Release Technique is a hands-on therapy that targets soft tissue and muscle problems, including:
- Connective tissue
- Ligaments
- Tendons
- Nerves
- Muscles
There are several ways these tissues can get injured or damaged, such as:
- Not getting enough oxygen
- Injuries from playing sports or a car accident
- Micro-trauma
- Repetitive use
As these things can build up, causing dense and tough scar tissue to accumulate in your body. The scar tissue makes it difficult for your tissues to move freely, causing pain, loss of strength, and decreased range of motion.
Active Release Technique is particularly effective at treating extremity issues including shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, and ankles. It also gets excellent results treating headaches.
