San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 02, 2011

Many Americans live with chronic pain in one or more parts of their body and consider it normal wear-and-tear. This pain can be cause by an adhesion in the fibrous tissue that develops from a small tear in the muscle, tendon or ligament. Adhesions form from acute injury (trauma), overuse (repetitive motion) and constant pressure/tension for extended periods of time (poor posture). The truth is constant pain is not normal and there is a way to reverse this pain: Active Release Technique.

Active Release Technique is a patented soft-tissue therapeutic technique that uses targeted muscle movements to release and smooth out scar tissue and muscular adhesions cause by overuse and misuse. Active Release Technique is patented in order to maintain a high standard of doctors who practice, and to insure the public the best possible care. Dr. Adam Jacobs attended workshops to learn 500 protocols to treat every muscle, tendon, ligament, fascia and nerve in the body and become full body certified in Active Release Technique. This means he is able to single out a specific muscle or tissue in the body and use the technique to reduce inflammation and smooth muscle tissue in that area allowing for proper and pain-free use.

Each treatment takes only a few passes over the structure and accomplishes greater results in a shorter amount of time than other soft tissue therapies. Although Active Release Technique has been proven extremely effective with professional athletes and dancers, it is actually very beneficial to everyone. Whether you work in front of a computer most of the day and have tightness and pain in the upper back, neck and wrists, or you are a runner who has shin splints, tight calf muscles and IT band problems a trip to SF Custom Chiropractic for an Active Release Technique treatment can help you return to a pain-free and productive lifestyle.

Active Release Technique is extremely effective on its own to clear up stringy muscle lesions, lumpy tissues, leathery tissues and inflammation in the soft tissues of the body. To complement the Active Release Technique and maintain the health of the tissue, Dr. Adam Jacobs also combines chiropractic adjustments. The combination of Active Release Technique and chiropractic adjustments allows for maximum healing and injury prevention. The chiropractic adjustments assure the joints and spine are in proper alignment while the Active Release Technique maintains the health of the soft tissue surrounding the joints. It is a perfect combination.

Being one of few doctors in San Francisco who is full body certified in Active Release Technique, Dr. Jacobs hopes to spread the word about this great technique. During the month of August Dr. Jacobs will offer a free initial Active Release Technique treatment to patients' area of primary complaint. If you've never had Active Release Technique before (or even if you have), this is a great opportunity to get some work done on that nagging pain you've been dealing with!
