Active Release Technique

Active Release Techniques is a new non-invasive treatment, designed to restore proper muscle function and movement to enable the body to perform at its most efficient level. Whether you’re playing golf, running, sitting at your desk or caring for your children, improved heath equals enhanced performance and less pain.

What is the Active Release Techniques(ART)?

The Active Release Techniques (ART) is a soft tissue management system created in 1984 by Michael Leahy, Doctor of Chiropractic and Aeronautical Engineer. The system is based on scientific evidence that following injury sustained by trauma, exercise or repetitive stress, muscles, nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue develop adhesions. These adhesions cause the motion of muscles or joints to be altered resulting in a wide variety of symptoms including pain, weakness, numbness, tingling and reduced range of motion.

Flexion Distraction Technique

For patients who have had back surgery and are still in pain because of it, or are just looking to speed their recovery, the Cox Flexion Distraction Technique provides a safe method for their improved rehabilitation.

The aim of this technique is to realign the vertebra and restore the body’s proper nerve functioning. The chiropractors at Wang Family Chiropractic does this by applying gentle pressure to specific areas of the back and stretching the lower spine, which decompresses the discs and decreases inflammation.
