Services we offer at the Chiropractic Release and Acupuncture Center - CRAC San Diego

Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic treatment is effective for muscle spasms of the back and neck, many different types of headaches, and issues involving the joints and tissues of the upper and lower extremities.
Chiropractic treatment includes manipulation and adjustment of body structures, such as the spinal column, so that correct movement can be restored. The doctor will usually make use of other modalities such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, moist heat or ice packs to aid in the manipulation. Finally, a program of therapeutic exercise will be prescribed to maintain optimal performance.
Active Release
Active Release, or ART, is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. Dr. Sanicki is a certified Active Release Technique practitioner.
