Combining Active Release Techniques (ART) and Chiropractic Care for Injury Healing
For Bay Area athletes-whether you play tennis, pickleball, golf, basketball, volleyball, or soccer-the combination of Active Release Techniques (ART) and chiropractic care offers a powerful, proven solution for both acute and chronic sports injuries.
Common Injuries Treated with ART and Chiropractic:
Comprehensive Healing: Chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment and joint function, while ART targets the surrounding soft tissues-muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves-to break down scar tissue, release adhesions, and restore normal movement.
Addresses Root Causes: Many sports injuries involve both joint dysfunction and soft tissue restrictions. Using both ART and chiropractic ensures that pain, limited mobility, and recurring injuries are resolved at the source, not just masked.
Faster, Lasting Results: ART prepares the muscles and soft tissues for more effective chiropractic adjustments, making realignment easier and more lasting. This synergy leads to quicker pain relief, better range of motion, and reduced risk of future injuries.
Upper Back Pain (Common in Tennis, Volleyball, Basketball, Golf):
Chiropractic adjustments correct spinal misalignments, while ART releases tension and scar tissue in the upper back muscles, restoring healthy posture and movement.
Shoulder Injuries (Rotator Cuff, Bursitis – Tennis, Pickleball, Volleyball, Golf):
ART breaks down adhesions in the rotator cuff muscles and tendons, reducing inflammation and restoring full mobility. Chiropractic care ensures the shoulder and upper back are properly aligned, supporting long-term healing.
Lower Back Pain (Golf, Basketball, Soccer, Tennis):
Chiropractic adjustments realign the spine, while ART releases tightness and scar tissue in the lower back and hip muscles, speeding recovery and preventing recurrence.
Hip Pain (Sciatica, Piriformis Syndrome – Soccer, Tennis, Basketball):
ART targets tight hip rotators and releases entrapped nerves, while chiropractic care restores pelvic and spinal alignment for lasting relief.
Rib Pain (Golf, Tennis, Basketball):
Chiropractic adjustments mobilize rib and thoracic joints, while ART relieves muscle strains and restores normal breathing mechanics.
Ankle Sprains (Basketball, Soccer, Volleyball):
ART breaks down scar tissue and restores mobility in the ankle’s soft tissues, while chiropractic adjustments ensure proper joint alignment for optimal healing and stability.
Foot Injuries (Plantar Fasciitis – Soccer, Basketball, Tennis):
ART targets the plantar fascia and calf muscles, reducing tension and pain, while chiropractic care addresses foot and ankle alignment to support a full recovery.
Forearm & Wrist Injuries (Tendinitis, Carpal Tunnel – Tennis, Pickleball, Golf):
ART releases tight forearm muscles and tendons, freeing entrapped nerves, while chiropractic adjustments restore wrist and elbow joint function.
If you’re an athlete seeking lasting recovery from sports injuries, the combination of ART and chiropractic care is a proven, non-invasive, and drug-free solution to get you back in the game-stronger and healthier than before
