Chiropractic / Active Release Technique (A.R.T)
Dr. Ann provides a unique combination of traditional chiropractic and advanced muscle treatment techniques (Active Release Technique) to help you overcome your back, neck and sports injuries. Exercises and lifestyle recommendations may also be suggested to improve your overall outcome.
Traditional Chiropractic
Chiropractors focus on the health of the joints of the body, particularly the spine. Through a variety of hands on tests, Dr. Ann determines which areas are not moving as well as they should, how this is affecting the overall function of the body, and if an irritation of the nerves is involved.
The main tool chiropractors use to correct this is the adjustment, or spinal manipulation. Dr. Ann will determine which type of chiropractic adjustment is suitable for you based on your condition, your age, your bone health, and your personal preference.
The goal of the adjustment is to decrease pain, increase function, and get you moving and feeling your best.
Active Release Technique (A.R.T)®
In additional to her chiropractic training, Dr. Ann is a certified provider of Active Release Technique® (A.R.T). This hands-on therapy, a form of myofascial release, addresses the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues. Scar tissue can form in muscles over time from a sudden injury, or from repetitive strain. Repetitive strain includes repeating motions (such as clicking a computer mouse, or pedaling a bicycle) or by maintaining one posture for a time (such as sitting).
A.R.T.® uses motion to lengthen the muscles, while the scarred tissue is held in place, thus gradually breaking down the scar tissue to be absorbed into the body’s blood stream. The body will then lay down new muscle fibres, in the proper alignment for the body’s health.
A.R.T.® enables Dr. Ann to treat a variety of conditions beyond the spine, allowing her to take a full body approach to your health.
