About Active Release Technique®

Every session is a combination of an examination and an adjustment.

The Examination

I'll use my hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons and ligaments. If scar tissue is present, I'll be able to feel it because it will be preventing soft tissues from moving properly. This can cause reduced range of motion, loss of strength and even pain. If nerve tissue is trapped, there may be tingling, numbness and weakness as well.

The Adjustment

Runners and athletes of all types often suffer from injuries that respond to our approach.

When problems are detected, I choose from over 500 specific protocols. I’ll apply precise amounts of pressure while you move or bend in specific ways that aid in the correction of your condition.

These manual maneuvers are normally applied at the site of your injury. Excellent results have been reported with the neuromuscular system:

  • Muscles
  • Tendons
  • Ligaments
  • Fascia

This work will often resolve a number of common health complaints:

  • Headaches
  • Back pain
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Shin splints
  • Shoulder pain
  • Sciatica
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Knee problems
  • Tennis elbow

Most of these conditions share one important common denominator: overused muscles. We use this technique because it’s a proven, state-of-the-art soft tissue system that helps many muscle-related conditions resolved quickly and permanently.

Dr. Hoffart Asks some important questions of interest to Rocklin residents - Chiropractor Rocklin Dr. Hoffart Asks...

Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
What is the purpose of pain?
Pain prompts many Rocklin folks to begin chiropractic care. But pain isn't the problem! Pain is just how your body alerts you that a limit has been reached (or exceeded), that something isn't working right and that some type of change is needed. As a chiropractor, my job is finding the underlying cause and recommending the changes needed to bring your body back into balance.
