ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.
The chiropractor assesses the joints of the spine and the extremities for motion through a technique called palpation. Joints, whether in the spine or in an extremity can become fixated or “stuck”. We call these areas subluxations or fixations. Once identified, these areas are corrected with chiropractic adjustments. Adjustments are highly accurate manipulations performed with the correct speed, timing and direction. Keep in mind that there are many different chiropractic techniques. We will chose the one that is right for you and that you are most comfortable with.
Orthotics are customized insoles worn in any type of shoe and they correct the way a patient walks. If a patient is walking incorrectly, their entire body can be out of alignment causing all types of problems including foot, ankle, leg, hip, and lower back pain. A 5-minute gait and pressure analysis test will tell you if you are a candidate for orthotics. Orthotics are covered by most insurance plans because insurance companies know the value of orthotic therapy in the prevention and treatment of many conditions that can lead to short-term or even long-term disability claims.

This revolutionary technology allows chiropractors to better identify the affected areas of the spine.
The sEMG (Surface Electromyogram) measures the muscles tension at various vertebral levels by detecting the electrical current going through the muscles on each side of the spine. An analysis is then done to measure the difference in muscle tension from the left to the right of the spine for various vertebral levels. This is helpful in identifying how much strain is being applied on the vertebrae by the muscles that could potentially pull them out of alignment.
