Active Release Techniques
Dr. Layman is the only chiropractor in Salem, that is certified in all three areas of Active Release Techniques (ART): spine, upper extremities & lower extremities.
ART attempt to address problems in individual tissues, since one tissue or structure can affect another structure both directly and biomechanically. With this method, the chiropractor identifies problems with movement, pressure and stiffness between the nearby tissues, and then addresses them. While scar tissue and muscle tension can be addressed with massage, electrical modalities and applying pressure to trigger points, ART seek to take a different approach. It is not just about treatment; it’s also about understanding the muscles and how they have been affected.

Part of healing the entire body is monitoring what goes into it. The body uses food as fuel, and what fuel we choose has a significant effect on how our body functions. That is why nutritional counseling is one of the most important services we can provide for people. By teaching people about what types of foods allow their bodies to function optimally, we empower people to make positive choices that benefit their health.
