Active Release Technique

Injuries resulting from over-used muscles often respond best to Active Release Technique therapy, a treatment method that offers immediate and dramatic results. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fascitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with this type of treatment. It is a patented, state-of-the-art soft tissue (muscles, ligaments, fascia, nerves) system.

How Does Active Release Technique Work?

Dr. Donath uses his hands to evaluate the injured soft tissue. Then, precisely applied tension is combined with specific patient movements. Treatment is an interactive process involving both doctor and patient, and every Active Release Technique session is actually a unique combination of examination and treatment. Patients will often notice improvement in their levels of pain, flexibility and strength within seconds following the treatment.

Chiropractic Care

Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Donath has years of training and experience in spinal adjustments.

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.
