The primary goal of chiropractic manipulation is to restore normal joint motion, particularly to areas of the spine and extremities. When a joint is unable to move freely, pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms can result.
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.
Dry needling is a therapy involving the insertion of a fine filiform needle into soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, or ligaments for the purpose of reducing pain, decreasing muscle spasms/trigger points, and inflammation.
Core stability is necessary for optimal performance and it is not achieved purely by adequate strength of abdominals, spinal extensors, gluteals, or any other musculature; rather, core stabilization is accomplished through precise coordination of these muscles and intra‐abdominal pressure regulation by the central nervous system (CNS).
The science tells us to “function better to feel better”. When the body has been injured because of trauma, overuse, or chronic poor postures, we change how we move to avoid pain; a detour if you will.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a process in which the clinician uses a set of hand-held instruments to break down the scar tissue and fascial restrictions in soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia, and nerves).
