Discover the Power of Active Release Technique (ART) at Buffalo Family Chiropractic Wellness
Are you dealing with pain, stiffness, or limited mobility from an injury or overuse? Active Release Technique (ART) could be the answer. At Buffalo Family Chiropractic Wellness in Buffalo, NY, we specialize in this advanced soft tissue therapy to treat conditions like headaches, back pain, sports injuries, and more. Led by Dr. Kathleen Henneberger, our certified ART expert, we help patients recover faster and regain their full range of motion.
What is Active Release Technique (ART)?
ART is a patented, hands-on therapy designed to address issues in muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. It targets scar tissue (adhesions)—the body’s natural response to injury or overuse—that can cause pain, weakness, and restricted movement. Think of adhesions like dried paint on a paintbrush: healthy muscle fibers should glide smoothly, but adhesions make them stick together, leading to stiffness and discomfort. ART breaks up these adhesions to restore normal function.
How Does ART Work?
During an ART session at our Buffalo, NY clinic, Dr. Henneberger combines examination and treatment:
- Evaluation: She uses her hands to assess the texture, tightness, and movement of your soft tissues.
- Treatment: She applies precise pressure while guiding you through specific movements to break up adhesions, release tension, and improve circulation.
With over 500 unique protocols, ART is personalized to your needs—never a one-size-fits-all approach. The result is faster pain relief, better mobility, and enhanced recovery.
Conditions Treated with ART
ART effectively treats a wide range of conditions, including:
- Headaches and migraines
- Back pain and neck pain
- Carpal tunnel syndrome

From acute injuries (like sprains) to chronic conditions (like tendonitis), ART tackles the root cause—adhesions—to deliver lasting results.
