Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a natural and non-invasive form of health care that is based on the principle that the body has the inherent ability to heal without the use of drugs or surgery. This fundamental approach to wellness mirrors a new and changing attitude towards health care. An individual's health is either directly or indirectly controlled by the nervous system and interference within the nervous system, due to trauma or biomechanical instability, impairs normal function and lowers resistance to disease. Through specific chiropractic adjustments, the nervous system interferences due to misalignments in the spine (subluxations) can be corrected. Thus allowing the nervous system to function properly and optimally. This enables the body to self-regulate and self-heal through its own natural recuperative powers. Adjustments are gentle and specific maneuvers that can be applied safely to people of all ages.
MRT- Myofascial Release Therapy/ART - Active Release Techniques
MRT/ART is a breakthrough in the treatment of injury. A revolutionary form of manual therapy, it's the first program specifically designed to evaluate and treat damaged soft tissue. ART can address and resolve many injuries previously considered untreatable, often in a few visits. When soft tissue is injured, it literally "gets stuck": Filaments of the tissue get bound together, forming dense scar tissue or adhesions. These adhesions impede movement, and often entrap nerves. Using a series of hands-on techniques while the affected muscles are in motion, the ART practitioner assesses the damaged tissue and releases the adhesions, separating bound tissue and restoring function. It sounds simple, yet the results can be dramatic and immediate. Unlike traditional therapies for soft-tissue injury that offer only symptomatic relief, ART goes to the root of the problem to resolve injury and facilitate healing. Properly employed, its success rate is over 90%, even with such chronic problems as carpal tunnel syndromes and rotator cuff tendonitis. Combined with chiropractic care and functional training, the results can be even more comprehensive, restoring optimal mobility, strength and performance.
