Active Release Technique
Report
Active Release Technique or A.R.T is an increasingly popular treatment alternative to conventional remedial massage. A.R.T is a patented, state of the art soft tissue release technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. This is achieved by placing the tissues through the ranges of movement and applying tension to break up any scar tissue or adhesions within the tissues.
Dry Needling
Report
At Macarthur Natural Health Clinic our practitioners are certified to provide a form of Western Acupuncture known as Musculoskeletal Dry Needling. It is a treatment modality that can be provided in conjunction with your Chiropractic treatments. Dry Needling targets myofascial trigger points - sore tight spots in a muscle that can be tender to touch.
Drop/Activator Techniques
Report
The Thompson Drop Technique utilizes specific tables that drop or give way to provide a mechanical advantage, enabling the movement of one joint to pass another. It is a reassuring process, not an uncomfortable procedure and prevents accidental over manipulation.
The Thompson Drop technique is safe and effective on discs and arthritic joints as it does not provide any rotation to the joint put instead keeps them in a neutral position throughout the adjustment.The Activator Technique utilizes a spring-loaded device to tap or nudge a joint, gently and very accurately.
