Board certification shows a level of devotion and proven abilities that cannot be matched by a simple chiropractic degree. When a chiropractor becomes board-certified in their sports medicine specialty, they have proven to a panel of their peers that they are capable of performing various therapies and providing a level of service that exceeds their patient’s expectations.
What is Granston technique?
The Graston Technique incorporates a pateneted form of instrument-assisted soft tissure mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively detect and treat scar tissue and restrictions that affect normal function.
How does the technique work?
- Separated and breaks down collagen cross-links, and splays and streches connective tissue and muscle fibers.
-
Increase skin temperature. -
Facilitates reflex changes in the chronic muscle holding pattern. -
Alters spinal reflux acytivity ( facilitated segment). -
Increases the rate and amount of blood flow to and from the area. -
Increases celluar activity in the region, including fibroblasts and mast cells. -
Increase histamine response secondary to mast cell activity.

What is Active Release Techniques (ART) to individuals, athletes, and patients?
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 fascists, 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 result of overuse muscles.
What is an ART treatment like?
Every ART session is actually a conbination of examination and treatment. The ART provider uses his or her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement if muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tendon with very specific patient movements. (by ART)
How do overuse conditions occur?
Over-use muscles (and other soft tissues) change in three important ways:
-
acute conditions (pulls, tears, collisions, etc) -
accumulation of small tears (micro-trauma) -
not getting enough oxyen (hypoxia)
