A noninvasive treatment developed for soft-tissue disorders, Active Release Techniques (ART) is helping countless patients to get relief from pain without medications or surgery! ART helps to relieve tissue tension cased by adhesions and scar tissue. It may be a good treatment option for you if you’re dealing with a tissue injury or disorder that is causing your muscles, ligaments, tendons or nerves to experience:

• Pain.
• Weakness.
• Numbness.
• Aching.
• Tingling.
• Burning.

Here at Barnes Chiropractic, we’re proud to offer Active Release Techniques (ART) therapy to help our patients get on the road to healing quickly! The first step is coming in for an evaluation to decide if ART is the appropriate treatment for your injury or condition. We can also use ART as part of a larger plan for healing and wellness.

What to Expect When You Schedule an Appointment for Active Release Techniques (ART) at Our Office in Centennial, Colorado

During your ART treatment, we’ll manually apply compression in the areas of your body that are experiencing pain due to trauma, repetitive strain or pressure-tension lesions. As we perform manual compression techniques, you will be asked to use shortening and lengthening movements. Treatment also includes using a contact point that stimulates the movement of your soft tissues.
