Local Chiropractor Offers Active Release Services
Finding relief for chronic issues can be difficult, especially if your job, hobbies or sport you participate in causes you to use the affected area over and over again. For people who experience pain due to repeated use of a certain body part or as a result of a repeated motion, there is help available through partnering with an experienced chiropractor.
Our practice is happy to provide proven results for athletes, weekend warriors, people who work in the labor field or those who want to live an active lifestyle in Fountain Hills, Scottsdale and the entire Phoenix area. Our team has experience dealing with the most common causes of chronic pain as well as helping those with unique conditions find relief through natural healing methods.
One way we help people who experience chronic pain as a result of overuse is through a practice known as active release therapy. This technique, along with other professional care, can help people live pain free and excel in their professional or personal activities.
Effective for Many People
The main goal of active release therapy is to help people who have suffered multiple injuries in the same area of the body. Whether you’re a pitcher or quarterback, an assembly line worker or anyone who performs an action hundreds or thousands of times, this repeated strain on the area causes injuries. Even if these injuries are very minor, when they heal they usually leave behind scar tissue.
Scar tissue causes pain when it becomes entangled with other scar tissue, creating something known as adhesions. These adhesions push and pull against one another, causing pain and inflammation, which only worsens over time. Active release breaks apart these adhesions, allowing the body to function as intended, and can be beneficial for anyone who has experienced overuse injuries.
Get Relief Naturally
One major perk of active release therapy is the lack of side effects, complications or other issues. Since this process is done through precise body movement and the application of pressure, you feel relief naturally and not via medication or surgical intervention. Active release is a great choice for people looking to live pain free and avoid major medical intervention.
Avoid Long Term Issues
In the short term, adhesions of scar tissue can cause a great deal of pain and swelling in the affected area. If left untreated for a long time, these adhesions can have negative effects on the pain points and the entire body. When swelling is left to increase unchecked, pain can spread and you’re at risk of tendonitis. Also, you might try to lessen the pain you’re experiencing by moving in an unnatural way, which could add more strain on other body parts and only make the issue worse. Not to mention, the pain will only increase if you’re still performing the action which caused the injury. Get relief now and in the future with the active release technique, which can be performed by our local chiropractic professionals.
