      Over 13 years of chiropractic practice, I've seen a lot of patients who suffer from migraines.  They can be incredibly difficult to get rid of with conventional medical treatments, which basically amount to medications to either prevent them from occurring or reducing them when they appear.  Both of these options are only covering up the symptom of pain, instead of actually getting to the root of the problem.  Unfortunately, these medications have such a long list of side effects it would take me a full page to list them.

How is A.R.T. different than regular chiropractic?
(1) Comments
By Dr. Jeff Schneider

I've heard people tell me many times that they've already tried chiropractic, so I won't be able to help them anymore than anyone else.  Well, let me tell you that isn't necessarily the truth.  At Hillside Chiropractic, not only do you get adjusted like at other chiropractic offices, but you receive focused Active Release Technique (A.R.T.) treatments to help alleviate the scar tissue that has formed around the problematic area. 

See, when there is an injured area the body creates scar tissue to repair the injury.  This scar tissue not only repairs the injury, but it glues all the tissues together and causes dysfunction and loss of proper range of motion.  When this occurs, your problem area becomes bigger and more severe as the muscles and adjacent joints don't move properly.  Regular adjustments free up these affected joints, but the scar tissue remains and continues to affect the joints until the problem returns.  That is why combining chiropractic adjustments along with an A.R.T. treatment gets such phenomonal results.  So if you or someone you know thinks that every chiropractor is the same, let us prove to you how much different this treatment is.

I've seen chiropractors regularly for more than 30 years, and am a strong supporter of chiropractic care. I was a little skeptical about the A.R.T. treatment at first, but after several treatments with Dr. Jeff, I'm a believer now! My adjustments hold longer, and I have fewer headaches and less back pain. Love it!
