Injury to soft tissues such as tendons, ligaments, muscles, and fascia from an auto accident may lead to the formation of scar tissue, adhesions, and restrictions. These tissue abnormalities cause pain, stiffness, reduced range of motion, and muscle weakness.
Developed and patented by Dr. P. Michael Leahy, DC, CCSP, Active Release Technique (ART) aims to identify and address soft tissue injuries through precise manual manipulation. This technique may help a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries, including:
Active Release Technique is not like a massage. It can be uncomfortable as it works to release the tension of scarred tissue. The purpose is to eliminate the discomfort, pain, inflammation, or other problems caused by scarred tissue.
During the procedure, our chiropractor will feel the area with their hands and identify the tightness or any unusual muscle movement in the area that is bothering you. Once the problem is identified, our chiropractor focuses on the target area using a combination of manipulation and appropriate movements. This releases and stretches the soft tissue to break up any adhesions (dense collections of scar tissue formed when muscles and connective tissues are injured) contributing to your pain.

Truly doesn't get better than this. Hands down best staff all around. These folks helped me from absolute step 1 after being involved in a car accident. Dr. Edge made me feel at ease with the entire process when no one else seemed to want to answer questions. I could not recommend this place enough!

I have struggled with TMJ pain for a long time. After my first session with Dr. Edge, my pain was reduced. After the second session, my pain was completely gone!

Began working with the Elevation team after my vehicle was struck by another. I had both back and neck pain that they helped to improve. Due to the nature of the injury, pain persists, but between the chiropractic adjustments, deep tissue massage, physical therapy, and accupuncture they were able to bring my pain from a 9/10 all of the time down to a 3-4/10 most of the time. Truly wonderful folks, I'm glad I was able to work with them. It has been 6 months and I'll continue to work with them because they're so great! Thanks Elevation, you are amazing!

Dr. Edge is a great doctor. He was very thorough and got to the root of my issues unlike other docs in the past. Haven’t experienced relief of pain like this before, he simply goes above and beyond. 10/10!
