What does a chiropractor do?
If you haven’t been to a chiropractor before you might be wondering what they do. Basically chiropractors are doctors who have the ability to perform chiropractic adjustments or manipulations. The main goal of an adjustment is increase the range of motion of the injured joint. Some chiropractors may tell you other reasons for an adjustment but these “ideas” will not be addressed in this article.
If you have been to a chiropractor, you probably know that different chiropractors vary in the types of treatments they give. The on-going joke is “if you see a chiropractor once you will have to go back forever,” however, this depends on the chiropractor.
Many good ones can relieve your pain within a few treatments. Keep reading to learn more….

What does an Active Release Techniques® (ART®) provider do?
An Active Release Techniques® provider is someone who has the abilities to address any soft tissue injury, in regards to the muscular component. Often this is a critical, yet overlooked aspect of an injury.
In most all injuries, a fair amount of scar tissue can be built up in the muscles and ligaments, causing tightness and pain within the muscles. In many cases of neurological symptoms (like numbness and tingling into the arms or leg) this increase in muscle tightness can also cause entrapments of nerves. This is what happens with carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica and thoracic outlet syndrome.
ART® is the main thing that differentiates the chiropractors at P2 Sports Care from the rest of the pack. Fact is you can literally find a chiropractor on any street corner; there are only about 40 or 50 ART® doctors in Southern California.
Most people have not heard about ART®, but it is rather popular in the world of professional sports. Nearly all NFL, NHL, and NBA teams have an ART provider for their players. Many Olympic Medalists and Mixed Martial Artists have also used ART® to enhance performance, as well as decrease pain from previous injuries and overtraining. If it works for the people who put their bodies to the test everyday, it will most likely work for you.

Why chiropractic and ART® TOGETHER are more effective than just chiropractic manipulation alone?
With every injury there are 2 equally important aspects of the injury: the joint and the surrounding soft tissues. As described before, chiropractors address the boney/ joint aspects of an injury very well and an Active Release Techniques® provider is the best when it comes to the soft tissue component. Together chiropractic and Active Release Techniques® are able to fix both aspects of an injury. This is what you really need.
Any ART® chiropractor can significantly decrease your pain in about 3-4 treatments.
This is what we do at P2 Sports Care. If you have not reached a significant improvement within 3-4 treatments, there is a chance your injury is something that we cannot fix and you will be referred out to someone who can help. We don’t want to waste your time or money. We only want to help you as fast as we can.

Why is Active Release Techniques® (ART®) considered an alternative to surgery?
ART® has saved many people from having surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome, spinal disc herniation, sciatica, shoulder problems and knee pain mainly because patients with ongoing pain are given the surgery option as a last resort. This is not to say there are not people who really do need surgery, but many patients have unnecessary surgeries. ART® doctors can correctly identify the problem and correct it in a short amount of time. As stated before, if you do not feel a significant change in your pain within 3-4 treatments, we will refer you elsewhere.
Why not give ART® a try and save yourself the months of rehab and disability after surgery?
If you’re tired of living in pain and different forms of care haven’t worked, why not give an ART® doctor a try. Many times it’s a last resort for patients just before having a surgery, but why not fix the problem before it gets that far. You’ll be glad you did!
