Cherry Creek Spine & Sport Clinic Chiropractic Techniques

Your doctors at Cherry Creek Spine and Sport Clinic understand the relationship between the musculoskeletal system and our unique ability for the body to move and function!  Bones provide the structural framework for the body.  Muscles provide the physiological mechanism to allow motion of thebody.  Muscles contract and relax to move bones at the joints.  This allows us to run, lift, bend, twist, etc.  A skeletal misalignment (bone or joint) often relates to a functional problem for the soft-tissues (muscle, tendon, or ligament), requiring a combination of treatments.  An accurate understanding of dysfunction allows for an accurate recommendation for correction.

Complete resolution of these musculoskeletal conditions often requires integrating different types of therapies, depending on the source of tissue dysfunction.  The integration of Active Release Technique (A.R.T.) for soft tissue conditions along with specific chiropractic adjustments for bone and joint structural mis-alignments, allows for a more quick and complete healing process.  Long term corrections of these common conditions often require implementing physical rehabilitation to retrain, retone, and recondition injured or overworked musculoskeletal structures.  You must change your actions to change your results!

Cherry Creek Spine and Sport Clinic only implements modern, research based chiropractic techniques.  Only the safest and up to date techniques will be used to treat your healthcare condition.  Our doctors regularly take continuing educational classes, read current, up to date healthcare articles, and only implement research based treatment protocols.  Our clinical focus is improving tissue functionality, educating on cause of dysfunction, and focusing on preventing re-injury.

Why does Soft Tissue pain linger?

Doesn't your body have the ability to heal itself? When you cut yourself, or break a bone, the body will mend it. So what about the injured area that is affecting you now? Why hasn't it healed and why does your pain still linger? Read more about the most common reasons.

Active Release

ART has been developed, refined, and patented by P. Michael Leahy, DC, CCSP. Dr. Leahy noticed that his patients' symptoms seemed to be related to changes in their soft tissue that could be felt by hand. By observing how muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves responded to different types of work, Dr. Leahy was able to consistently resolve over 90% of his patients' problems. He now teaches and certifies health care providers all over the world to use ART. See the ART page for more details.
