CHIROPRACTIC MANIPULATION
Chiropractic manipulation helps restore and improve joint mobility and alignment. A chiropractic adjustment can be applied to any joint in the body, including those in the upper and lower extremities. Following an adjustment, the body releases endorphins, promoting pain relief and relaxation. Maintaining healthy joint mobility and alignment is essential not only for athletic performance but also for supporting overall bone and soft tissue health.
ACTIVE RELEASE TECHNIQUEโข
ART™ (Active Release Technique) is a patented, cutting-edge soft tissue treatment that addresses issues with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. It is highly effective for conditions such as headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, tennis elbow, and more. These issues often stem from overused muscles, which can result from traumatic events, athletic activities, work-related injuries, or improper posture and gait patterns. ART™ is designed to resolve these conditions quickly and permanently by targeting the root cause.
KINESIOLOGY TAPING
The Kinesio Taping® Method is a specialized rehabilitative taping technique that supports the body’s natural healing process by providing stability to muscles and joints without limiting range of motion. It also extends the benefits of manual therapy beyond the clinical setting through prolonged soft tissue manipulation. Kinesio® Tex Tape is latex-free, can be worn for several days, and is safe for all ages, from pediatric to geriatric patients. This versatile method effectively treats a wide range of orthopedic, neuromuscular, neurological, and other medical conditions.
