Discover How Long Island Headache Sufferers Find Relief Through Chiropractic Care

By Matt Chaderia


Patients with chronic headaches seeking chiropractic care is nothing new. However the development of Active Release Technique, referred to as ART, occurred somewhat recently. The therapy has been shown to effectively reduce pain associated with headaches. Long Island patients have been very pleased with Long Island Active Release Technique as a safe way to relieve their pain.

ART is an advanced chiropractic method for treating soft tissue, which includes the tendons, ligaments, muscles, nerves and blood vessels. Doctors of chiropractic have observed that these soft tissues developed scar tissue when subject to repetitive motion or trauma. The scar tissue affects the surrounding muscles, tendons, etc., and alters movement. In time the surrounding soft tissue can become shortened or weakened. This in turn may result in decreased range of motion or pain.

The ART practitioner, your chiropractor, uses his or her hands to massage the affected soft tissues. This breaks up the scarring and the soft tissues can return to normal function. Chiropractors have found that ART is effective on any body part.

This is an oversimplification as there are over five hundred movements in the active release technique protocols. There is nothing generic about ART. The practitioner uses specific movements to locate the affected areas on a specific patient.

A study done by the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health reported that twelve percent of all workplace absences were due to tension headaches. The same study showed that researchers were able to make significant improvements in tension headaches with ART, supporting the veracity of the therapy.

Everyone has seen the effects of scar tissue when it occurs on the outside of the body. As scars form the skin around the wound thickens and tightens. Since the body sheds skin cells constantly the effects are reduced with time. When scarring occurs inside the body the thickening and the tightening do not diminish over time and continue to affect the surrounding areas of the body. ART will break up the scar tissue, which frees up the surrounding tissues and relieves pain. Active Release Technique effectively relieves the adverse affects of internal scarring.
