Discover How Long Island Headache Sufferers Find Relief Through Chiropractic Care

By Matt Chaderia


Patients with chronic headaches seeking chiropractic care is nothing new. However the development of Active Release Technique, referred to as ART, occurred somewhat recently. The therapy has been shown to effectively reduce pain associated with headaches. Long Island patients have been very pleased with Long Island Active Release Technique as a safe way to relieve their 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 description oversimplifies ART, which has greater than five hundred specific massage movements. Each patient receives individualized care based on their health and the location of the affected area.

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.
