Discover How Long Island Headache Sufferers Find Relief Through Chiropractic Care

By Matt Chaderia


Chiropractors have been seeing patients for headache relief for many years. Recently a method called Active Release Technique, ART, has been developed to enhance the already effective chiropractic techniques. Headache sufferers will be glad to hear about Long Island Active Release Technique, a new way to find safe, natural relief from pain.

ART is an advanced chiropractic method for treating soft tissue, which includes the tendons, ligaments, muscles, nerves and blood vessels. Doctors of chiropractic have observed that these soft tissues developed scar tissue when subject to repetitive motion or trauma. The scar tissue affects the surrounding muscles, tendons, etc., and alters movement. In time the surrounding soft tissue can become shortened or weakened. This in turn may result in decreased range of motion or pain.

The chiropractor uses ART massage movements to break up the scars so the tendons and ligaments, etc., can function normally. There will also be relief from pain. ART has been used effectively on any body part affected by internal scarring.

This is an oversimplification as there are over five hundred movements in the active release technique protocols. There is nothing generic about ART. The practitioner uses specific movements to locate the affected areas on a specific patient.

The Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health conducted a study which showed that twelve percent of absences in the workplace were due to headaches. The study also showed that ART significantly improved the condition of headache sufferers and relieve pain.

From a purely logical standpoint it makes sense. The effects of scar tissue can be seen on the outside of the body when there is an injury. The healing skin thickens and tightens. Since skin replaces itself, the scar and its effects fade with time. Inside the body the thickness and the tightness of the scar tissue continue to have adverse effects on the surrounding soft tissue. ART effectively breaks up the scar tissue, thus freeing the other soft tissue. Headache sufferers are not the only patients who will find relief with Active Release Technique.
