Active Release Technique (ART)
Dr. Flattery is a certified full body ART practitioner, having completed all modules, including the spine, upper extremity, and lower extremity. In his chiropractic practice at the Center for Integrated Medicine, he uses ART to effectively treat common overuse injuries of the muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia and nerves, including:
- Headaches
- Shoulder pain
- Back pain
- Sciatica
- Knee problems
- Shin splints
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis elbow
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
These conditions, and many others, are the result of scar tissue building up in the area of overuse. As the scar tissue grows with repeated overuse, it binds and impedes tissue that needs to have freedom of movement. Over time, muscles, tendons and nerves are adversely affected, causing pain, reduced motion and even muscle weakness.
The good news: If you’re suffering from these conditions, it’s not too late. Your pain and related issues can be effectively and permanently resolved with ART. Call the Center for Integrated Medicine today to make your appointment.
