Ask Yourself:
Do you experience pain and stiffness in your neck and shoulder?
Does neck pain commonly interfere with your productivity, concentration, or daily activities?
Do you ever feel a pull or a pinch when turning your neck?
If you answered YES to one or more of the above questions you may be suffering from one of the many common conditions that affect the muscles and joints of the neck. Unfortunately, results using traditional treatments for these types of problems can be limited and often provide only temporary relief. But now, thanks to a new soft tissue treatment technique known as Active Release Techniques® (ART®), many neck pain sufferers are finally finding relief for their recurrent symptoms.
The neck and shoulder region is a complex area that consists of many joints, muscles, and nerves. Continued health of these regions requires a complex balance and interaction of these structures to ensure proper movement and to protect the areas from injury. Unfortunately, as a result of poor posture, prolonged sitting, muscle tightness, muscle imbalance, or previous injury, the muscles, joints, and nerves can become strained and irritated. As a result inflammation develops within the tissues and in an attempt to stabilize the area the body will lay down scar tissue. Eventually this scar tissue builds-up and forms “adhesions” between and within the muscles, joints, and nerves of the neck. Once formed, these adhesions can lead to pain, tightness, stiffness, weakness, and a lack of blood flow to the area. The main reason that many traditional approaches are often ineffective is that they fail to address the underlying scar tissue adhesions that develop within the muscles and surrounding soft tissues.
ART® stands for Active Release Techniques®. It is a new and highly successful hands-on treatment method to address problems in the soft tissues of the body. ART® treatment is highly successful in dealing with many types of neck pain because it is specifically designed to locate and treat scar tissue adhesions that accumulate in and around the muscles, joints, and nerves of the head and shoulder. At Fall River Chiropractic we commonly use ART® to treat many different types of neck pain. We find that with using ART®, especially when combined with simple home stretches and exercises, we are able to quickly and effectively help relieve many common neck conditions.

A New Treatment for Headaches
Ask Yourself:
Do you experience headaches accompanied by stiffness and tightness in your neck and shoulders?
Do recurrent headaches interfere with your productivity and concentration?
Do you commonly experience tightness and pressure at the back of your head or along your temples?
If you answered YES to one or more of the above questions you may be suffering from one of the many headache conditions caused by excessive tightness of neck and shoulders. Unfortunately, results using traditional treatments for these types of headaches can be limited and often provide only temporary relief. But now, thanks to a new soft tissue treatment technique known as Active Release Techniques® (ART®), many headache sufferers are finally finding relief for their recurrent symptoms.

A New Treatment Approach to Foot or Heel Pain
Ask Yourself:
Do you feel pain in your heel with the first few steps in the morning?
Do you experience a dull, achy, or sharp pain in your heel when you put weight on your foot?
Do you feel a pulling or tightness into your arch or heel?
If you answered YES to one or more of the above questions you may be suffering from a common foot condition known as Plantar Fasciitis. Unfortunately, results using traditional treatments for Plantar Fasciitis have been limited and often slow to produce relief. But now, thanks to a new soft tissue treatment technique know as Active Release Techniques (ART), many Plantar Fasciitis sufferers are finally finding relief for their aching feet.
Since we are on our feet a great deal the muscles and joints of the foot are under a considerable amount of strain. Over time this strain can accumulate and result in damage and inflammation, and in an attempt to repair and stabilize the area the body will lay down scar tissue. Once formed, scar tissue can make the muscles of the foot very tight, and will interfere with normal muscle contraction and movement of the muscles and joints of the foot, which can eventually lead to pain in the foot and heel.
Many of the more traditional approaches require a long period of time before they provide any significant relief, and in many cases provide only temporary relief from symptoms instead of fixing the underlying cause of the problem. The main reason that traditional approaches are often ineffective is that they fail to address the underlying scar tissue adhesions that develop within the muscles and surrounding soft tissues. It is this scar tissue that is at the root of the problem and is interfering with the health of the muscles and fascia.
ART stands for Active Release Techniques. It is a new and highly successful hands-on treatment method to address problems in the soft tissues of the body. ART treatment is highly successful in dealing with foot problems because it is specifically designed to locate and treat scar tissue adhesions that accumulate in the muscles, fascia, and surrounding soft tissues. By locating and treating the scar tissue adhesions with ART, it restores the normal tension to the muscles and allows the muscles of the foot to function properly. At Fall River Chiropractic we use ART to treat many common foot conditions, including Plantar Fasciitis. We find that by using ART we are able to address the accumulation of scar tissue and help restore the normal flexibility, strength, and function of the muscles and joints of the foot.
