Relieve Pain and Restore Function with Active Release Therapy
We proudly offer Active Release Therapy (ART), a state-of-the-art treatment designed to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall function.
What is Active Release Therapy (ART)?
Active Release Therapy (ART) is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment for soft tissue injuries. It is designed to address issues related to muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. This therapy works by relieving tension that can form after injuries, overuse, or repetitive strain, which can limit movement and cause pain.
How Does ART Work?
ART involves a combination of precise, hands-on manipulation and targeted movement to:
Identify and isolate the affected areas.
Restore normal tissue function and mobility.
Reduce pain and discomfort.
Our certified ART specialists at Chicago Spine and Sports will conduct a thorough evaluation to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
