What Is Chiropractic Care—and How We Enhance It With ART®

Chiropractic care is a hands-on healthcare approach focused on improving how your body moves, feels, and functions—without drugs or surgery. At Contemporary Alternative Care, we use evidence-informed chiropractic techniques to restore proper joint motion, reduce pain, and help your nervous system communicate more effectively with the rest of your body.

  • At its core, chiropractic care addresses joint restrictions (often called subluxations) that can interfere with movement and contribute to pain, stiffness, or nerve irritation. Through precise adjustments, we help:
    • Improve joint mobility and alignment
    • Decrease muscle tension and inflammation
    • Support nervous system function
    • Promote faster healing and better overall movement
  • Many patients seek chiropractic care for neck pain, low back pain, headaches, sciatica, sports injuries, and general stiffness—but it’s also a powerful tool for maintaining long-term musculoskeletal health.

While chiropractic adjustments restore motion to joints, muscles and soft tissues often play a major role in why those joints became restricted in the first place. That’s where Active Release Technique (ART®) comes in.
ART is a highly specific soft-tissue technique that targets:

  • Muscles
  • Tendons
  • Ligaments
  • Fascia
  • Nerves

Over time, repetitive motion, poor posture, injury, or overuse can cause scar tissue and adhesions to form. These adhesions limit movement, reduce circulation, and can trap nerves—leading to pain and dysfunction.

When we combine chiropractic care with ART, we’re addressing both sides of the problem:

  • Chiropractic adjustments restore proper joint motion and alignment
  • ART removes soft-tissue restrictions that pull joints out of place

This integrated approach often leads to:

  • Faster pain relief
  • Longer-lasting results
  • Improved flexibility and strength
  • Better performance and injury prevention

Patients who have “tried everything” elsewhere often find that this combination finally gets them past stubborn, chronic issues.

We also understand that sometimes you just need a quick, effective adjustment—without scheduling ahead or adding soft-tissue work.
That’s why we proudly offer:

  • Walk-in chiropractic adjustments
  • No appointment required
  • $45 per visit
  • Chiropractic adjustment only (no ART)

This option is perfect for:

  • Acute flare-ups
  • Maintenance care
  • Busy schedules
