Functional Rehab

At Cherry Creek Spine and Sport Clinic we understand the long term benefits of functional rehab.  As we address your biomechanical and soft tissue conditions, we must also pay extremely close attention to rehabilitating the injured or dysfunctional tissues.  Rehabilitation therapy's focus is to retrain, retone, and recondition weakened, injured, or overworked structures, addressing fucntional deficits.  This help to prevent or reduce the chance of re-injury! 

Too often we see patients that have gone to other clinics, been treated for months, yet still are having the same symptoms or problems.  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!

Our clinic uses a variety of rehab protocols specific to each individual patient's needs.  We use a variety of equipment that most people already have in their homes such as swiss exercise balls, therabands, dumb bells, yoga mats, etc.  We try to integrate rehab recommendations with activities throughout your day at home, work, or even in the car.  Change your actions, change your results.  By implementing a combination of eccentric, concentric, and isometric exercises, proper muscular function and endurance can be restored!

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.
