Overuse, strain, sprain, or injury to soft tissues such as tendons, ligaments, muscles, and fascia may lead to the formation of scar tissue, adhesions, and restrictions. These tissue abnormalities cause pain, stiffness, reduced range of motion, and muscle weakness.
Developed and patented by Dr. P. Michael Leahy, DC, CCSP, Active Release Technique (ART) aims to identify and address soft tissue injuries through precise manual manipulation. This technique may help a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
Active Release Technique is not like a massage. It can be uncomfortable as it works to release the tension of scarred tissue. The purpose is to eliminate the discomfort, pain, inflammation, or other problems caused by scarred tissue.
During the procedure, our chiropractor will feel the area with their hands and identify the tightness or any unusual muscle movement in the area that is bothering you. Once the problem is identified, our chiropractor focuses on the target area using a combination of manipulation and appropriate movements. This releases and stretches the soft tissue to break up any adhesions (dense collections of scar tissue formed when muscles and connective tissues are injured) contributing to your pain.

llyaCharlotte, North CarolinaDr Alec was amazing doctor. He took good care of me. When I first started the program I was in major pain. Wasn't sleeping at night for weeks. Started the program and he made an amazing turn around on my pain that I was having in my neck, back and knee. I highly recommend him if you are having trouble with pain anywhere in your body. And the two young ladies that work under Dr Alec are amazing as well. The best customer service I have ever seen working with the public of different types of people coming through those doors. Ladies keep up the good work. Thanks Mrs Potts,

Angelia S.Charlotte, North CarolinaI recently experienced a car accident that resulted in both lower and upper back pain. I am incredibly grateful to have been referred to Mr. Alec, who did an outstanding job in helping me recover. His expertise, along with the support of his dedicated team, played a crucial role in my recovery. Thanks to their efforts, I am now feeling significantly better and have successfully returned to work. I truly appreciate all of their care and attention throughout this process.
Elijah R.Charlotte, North CarolinaI was in recovering from the major surgery stage when I was injured in a car accident while being a passenger. The chiropractor Dr. Alec Khlebopros was very compassionate and knowledgeable. My health condition had tremendously improved, and if I can walk and run it's all because of the amazing Dr. Alec Khlepobros. His ability to understand the core of the problem and his skills exceeded all my expectations. I'm eternally grateful and would recommend Proactive Chiropractor and Rehab Center to everyone who needs that. *
