Learn 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 method that chiropractors use to treat soft tissue adversely affected by internal scarring. Nerves, muscles, ligaments, tendons and blood vessels are all soft tissue. When scars form around the soft tissue due to trauma or repetitive motions the surrounding tissue can shorten and become weak. The affected soft tissue results in pain and may impact range of motion.

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 explanation oversimplifies the therapy. ART has more than five hundred unique movements in its protocols. This is not one size fits all therapy. Your practitioner will use the movements appropriate for your body and your condition.

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.
