Active Release Techniques® (ART®)
Enhancing care through Active Release Techniques® (ART®), a patented soft tissue technique; treating problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves, sets Edge Chiropractic & Sport Therapy at the forefront of providing quality care.
A series of detailed protocols serve as the foundation for ART® through the manual application of tension along various muscle fibres throughout the body.
ART® has improved the standard of manual care. We are now able to effectively eliminate conditions at a much faster and more predictable rate than previously possible. ART® works to strengthen and refine all elements of the body system. It works to prevent muscle strains and injuries from developing as a result of excess muscle-joint tension and/or underlying structural weakness.
ART® can also aid in the recovery of injuries or long-standing chronic conditions, and assist in preventing a reoccurrence. It has enabled our patients to resume their daily activities and excel in their athletic pursuits, pain free.
The practice of ART® as a therapeutic approach to pain management; as well as, injury reduction and prevention, facilitates a healthy lifestyle and supports the achievement of long-term health benefits for our patients.
Active Release Techniques® (ART®) serves as a complimentary approach to Chiropractic adjustment and Exercise Rehabilitation in the restoration and rehabilitation process in managing pain and achieving optimum health.

Chiropractic Care
Doctors of Edge Chiropractic & Sport Therapy are registered practitioners of the Alberta College and Association of Chiropractors.
Through extensive training in the sciences of musculoskeletal and nervous systems of the body, Doctors of Chiropractic care are qualified in the practices of assessment, diagnostic and treatment procedures. The assessment process involves taking a medical history and performing a physical examination to establish a diagnosis from which a course of care is prescribed. Chiropractic treatment involves manual care, which includes spinal manipulative (adjustment) therapy, soft tissue therapies and physical rehabilitation.
The goal of Chiropractic care is to provide pain relief, re-establish and sustain a sense of strength and well-being by working to eliminate pain associated disorders. These include, yet are not limited to, headaches, nerve impingements, neck and back pain; as well as, a variety of other mechanical dysfunctions associated with the musculoskeletal and nervous systems of the body.
Equally as important are preventative measures that Chiropractic care offers against future acute and chronic pain disorders, resulting from work or sports related injuries; this serves as a fundamental element in providing first-class Chiropractic care.
Moreover, Doctors of Chiropractic understand the significance of evaluating key aspects; namely, lifestyle, nutrition, health history and environmental surroundings to best implement a tailored care plan for each respective patient.
Chiropractic adjustment serves as a complimentary approach to Active Release Techniques® (ART®) and Exercise Rehabilitation in the restoration and rehabilitation process in managing pain and achieving optimum health.

Deep Tissue Laser Therapy
Edge Chiropractic & Sport Therapy is among the first in the area to invest in a Deep Tissue Therapy Laser from LiteCure Medical.
We are now offering you a non-surgical option that truly has the power to eliminate or significantly reduce your pain. Five to ten brief treatments with this powerful laser is all it takes to realize life changing results. The Deep Tissue Therapy Lasers work by flooding the tissues with photons, energizing the damaged cells and increasing circulation to the painful area. This produces a cascade of healing responses in your body, reducing inflammation, thereby reducing or even eliminating your pain. Treatments take just a few minutes, however the therapeutic effect continues to soothe and heal long after you leave the office.
Cleared by the FDA in 2007, the Class IV therapy laser delivers light energy into the patient’s body. When this light interacts with damaged cells, cell respiration is improved, inflammation reduced, and nerve conduction slowed for immediate relief from pain. Patients suffering from migraines, musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries, neck and back pain or conditions, now have an alternative to surgery and drugs.
