ACTIVE RELEASE TECHNIQUE
Dr. Michael Nelson and Dr. Kelsey Nelson are certified in Active Release Techniques (ART). ART is a patented, state-of-the-art soft tissue system/movement-based massage 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 conditions that can be resolved with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: overused muscles.
A COMBINATION APPROACH
We incorporate Active Release Techniques into our treatment at Carolina Active Health Chiropractic because we believe that treating soft-tissue injuries in combination with chiropractic manipulative therapy provides patients with the best overall outcome.
HOW DO OVERUSE CONDITIONS OCCUR?
Overused muscles (and other soft tissues) change in three important ways:
- Acute conditions (pulls, tears, collisions, etc)
- Accumulation of small tears (micro-trauma)
- Not getting enough oxygen (hypoxia)
Each of these factors can cause your body to produce tough, dense scar tissue in the affected area. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become shorter and weaker, tension on tendons causes tendonitis, and nerves can become trapped. This can cause a reduced range of motion, loss of strength, and pain.
