Active Release Techniques at Lake View Chiropractic: Unlock Your Movement in Chicago, IL
At Lake View Chiropractic, nestled in the vibrant city of Chicago, we are excited to offer Active Release Techniques (ART) as a core component of our chiropractic services. ART is a state-of-the-art soft tissue system/movement-based technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves.
What are Active Release Techniques (ART)?
Active Release Techniques is a cutting-edge approach to healing and pain relief, uniquely designed to identify, isolate, and target affected areas, thereby reducing pain and improving function. Through a combination of precise pressure and specific patient movements, ART treats your body’s soft tissue by breaking up adhesions, which can cause pain, inflammation, and restricted movement.
