NeuroTracker
The best athletes are physically in shape and are great at paying attention. Paying attention to the most important targets, paying attention to fast-moving targets, and paying attention to multiple targets at once- all for long periods of time. NeuroTracker improves the 4 major focuses of awareness: selective, dynamic, distributed, and sustained attention. Open up your peripheral vision and see the playing field better, make better decisions, and with less effort. Come try the NeuroTracker at Pro-Action Sports Injury Clinic.
Active Release Technique
Active Release Techniques is a patented, soft tissue system 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 with ART.
These problems have all one important thing in common: they are all result from overused muscles that accumulate excessive scar tissue that restricts normal movement and function of soft tissue structures involved.

Kinesio Taping
Kinesio taping is a specialized method for therapeutic and rehabilitative support. Kinesio is a specialized elastic, latex-free tape that is resilient (lasts up to 3-5 days), water resistant and suitable for patients of all ages. Kinesio taping is designed to reduce pain and swelling, enhance performance, re-educate the neuromuscular system, prevent injury, and promote lymphatic flow.

Medical Acupuncture
Medical acupuncture is used to relieve neurogenic inflammation that inhibits muscle contraction and causes various types of pain. Using motor points where nerve enters the muscle, and acupuncture stimulation, this nerve interference is decreased while increasing ones ability to move.

Shockwave Therapy
CONDITIONS THAT CAN BE TREATED BY SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Shockwave therapy is a multidisciplinary device used in orthopaedics, physiotherapy, sports medicine, urology and veterinary medicine. Its main assets are fast pain relief and mobility restoration. Together with being a non-surgical therapy with no need for painkillers makes it an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various indications causing acute or chronic pain.
MECHANISM OF ACTION:
Shockwave is an acoustic wave which carries high energy to painful spots and myoskeletal tissues with subacute, subchronic and chronic conditions. The energy promotes regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues.

Together with being a non-surgical therapy with no need for painkillers makes it an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various indications causing acute or chronic pain.
MECHANISM OF ACTION:
Shockwave is an acoustic wave which carries high energy to painful spots and myoskeletal tissues with subacute, subchronic and chronic conditions. The energy promotes regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons and other soft tissues.
- New blood vessel formation:
Nutrient blood flow is necessary to start and maintain the repair processes of damaged tissue structure. The application of acoustic waves creates capillary micro ruptures in tendon and bone. Due to micro ruptures the expression of growth factors such as eNOS, VEGF, PCNS and BMP is significantly increased. As a result of these processes arterioles are remodelled, stimulated to grow and new ones are formed. The new blood vessels improve blood supply and oxygenation of the treated area and support faster healing of both the tendon and the bone.
- Reversal of chronic inflammation:
Chronic inflammation occurs when the inflammatory response is not completely halted. It can damage healthy tissue and results in chronic pain. Mast cells are one of the key components of the inflammatory process. Their activity may be increased by using pervasive acoustic waves.
Mast cell activation is followed by the production of chemokine and cytokines. These pro-inflammatory compounds first enhance the inflammatory process and in the next step help restore normal healing and regenerative processes. - Stimulation of collagen formation:
The production of a sufficient amount of collagen is a necessary precondition for the repair processes of the damaged myoskeletal and ligamentous structures. Shockwave therapy accelerates pro collagen synthesis. The therapy forces the newly created collagen fibers into a longitudinal structure which makes the newly formed tendon fibers more dense and stiff and creates a firmer structure. - Dissolution of calcified fibroblasts:
Calcium build-up is most often a result of micro-tears or other trauma to a tendon. Acoustic waves break up the existing calcifications. Shockwave therapy starts the biochemical decalcification of the calcium build-up of a toothpaste-like consistency and treats the tendon. The granular particles of calcium are then removed by the lymphatic system. - Disperasion of pain mediator "Substance P":
Substance P is a neurotransmitter that mediates pain information through C-fibers. This neuropeptide is generally associated with intense, persistent and chronic pain. It relays pain messages to the central nervous system. Lowering the concentration of Substance P reduces the stimulation of afferent nociceptive fibers and thus reduces the pain. Decreasing Substance P, histamines and other nociceptive metabolites also helps inhibit development of inflammatory oedema. Acoustic waves generated by Shockwave therapy.

Functional Range Conditioning
FRC utilizes scientific research to improve mobility. Mobility, in an FRC sense, is defined as STRENGTH + CONTROL in order to expand upon usable ranges of motion, articular resilience (i.e. load bearing capacity), and overall joint health.
Funtional Range Release
The treatment system focuses on the assessment, localization, and systematic treatment of soft-tissue lesions (adhesions) and areas of fibrosis (scar tissue) which develop as a result of injury, repetitive strain, and cumulative trauma.
By utilizing specific Tissue Tension Techniques & Progressive Angular Isometric Loading, Functional Range Release expands on the basic tenets of myofascial-release treatments by simultaneously assessing, expanding, and strengthening the patient's functional range of motion.
