Colville, WashingtonThis entire team of people ROCK! Every single person in the office is super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I was in a car accident over 12 years ago and have degenerating disks and vertebrae that are trying to fuse together due to the whiplash from the accident. I am on week 5 of a 12 week treatment cycle and I am already feeling a noticeable difference in my neck and back. My headaches are rare and my back and neck are not even close to being as stiff and achy as they were when I first started treatment. If you are looking for a chiropractor who cares to find a solution to end your neck and back problems look no further! Monumental chiropractic is the place for you!! *

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 chiropractors 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 chiropractors focus 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.
