TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE (TCM)
Overused muscles can cause micro tears of the soft tissue and the buildup of scar tissue. As time passes, this scar tissue becomes quite hard and dense. This scar tissue presses down on soft tissue and nerves, restricting movement and occluding the flow of nutritious oxygenated blood to that particular spot and the surrounding tissue. The result? Pain….lots and lots of pain; sometimes coupled by numbness and tingling and weakness of a distal point.
What To Expect During an ART Treatment
First and foremost, you will be examined before treatment. The affected area will palpated and evaluated for range of motion, tenderness, tightness, weakness, and turgor. The added benefit of being examined by a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine means that distally related points of the body will also be examined and evaluated (ever notice how a left sided shoulder injury precedes a right sided knee pain after some time?). Based on this examination and evaluation, the dis-eased tissues are treated manually with the use of precise tension and movement of the affected soft tissue.
After the soft tissue has been released, the additional modality of Acupuncture can greatly speed up the healing process by releasing even more endorphins bringing great relief of pain.
SO……. If your neck hurts because you’ve been leaning over a computer screen all day or your shoulders hurt from swimming and cycling for hours at a spell, or you’ve been experiencing lower back and hip pain…and you just don’t know why---make an appointment for a full evaluation and treatment.
