Long Island Headache Sufferers Find Relief Through Chiropractic Care Active Release Technique

By Katy Parfait


Headaches, especially if they occur frequently, can impede a persons ability to concentrate on whatever he or she is doing. It can be difficult to maintain a job when they are chronic. Many individuals have found pain alleviation in a chiropractors office using the Long Island Active Release Technique.

In order to qualify to use this technique a chiropractor must learn more than 500 protocols. According to ART theory tension, pressure and motion are combined to force tissue and muscle to work properly. The first task is to identify the cause of headaches if possible.

No headache is as intense as the migraine. They are excruciatingly painful plus cause nausea and vomiting. They can last for days and it is not possible for the sufferer to go to work.

The migraines occur on no predictable schedule. They may be frequent for awhile and then not happen for months. Here is never a time when they happen regularly. Research still has not discovered exactly what causes them.

Tension headaches may respond to manual adjustments. They are usually applied to the vertebrae in the neck and upper back. Massage applied to the neck and shoulders may work to relax tightened muscles. A series of office visits are scheduled to administer the adjustments and massage.

Attention is given to the entire body rather than just the head and neck. ART sees the body as a whole unit rather than individual parts.

The individual who selects chiropractic care for pain relief wants non-invasive and medication free care. That way there is no danger of addiction. Some large corporations provide ART for their employees. It is practical to provide this chiropractic care. Workmans compensation costs may be significantly reduced when headache pain is alleviated and no longer causes employees to miss work.
