About Active Release Technique

Every Active Release session is a combination of an examination and adjustment.

The Examination
Runners and athletes of all types often suffer from injuries that respond to our Active Release approach.

First, I use my hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons and ligaments. Scar tissue is often present, which prevents these soft tissues from moving properly. This can cause reduced range of motion, loss of strength and pain. If nerve tissue is trapped, there may be tingling, numbness and weakness as well.

The Adjustment

When problems are detected, I choose from over 500 specific protocols. I’ll apply precise amounts of pressure while you move or bend in specific ways that aid in the correction of your condition.

These manual maneuvers are normally applied at the site of your injury. Excellent results have been reported with the neuromuscular system:

  • Muscles
  • Tendons
  • Ligaments
  • Fascia

This work will often resolve a number of common health complaints:

  • Headaches
  • Back pain
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Shin splints
  • Shoulder pain
  • Sciatica
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Knee problems
  • Tennis elbow

Most of these conditions share one important common denominator: overused muscles. We use Active Release because it’s a proven, state-of-the-art soft tissue system that helps many muscle-related conditions resolved quickly and permanently.

Dr. David and Dr. Jerry Asks some important questions of interest to Gregory or Winner residents - Chiropractor Gregory or Winner Dr. David and Dr. Jerry Asks...

Can subluxations clear up on their own?
Sometimes. Today's hectic lifestyles can be a constant source of subluxations. Fortunately, our bodies have the ability to self-correct many of these minor problems as we bend and stretch, or when we sleep at night. When subluxations don't resolve, you need to see our Gregory or Winner office for chiropractic care!
What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of many drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The effects of chiropractic are largely positive effects. If you're a Gregory or Winner parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.
