Bates Chiropractic and Sports Therapy

Bates Chiropractic and Sports Therapy Bates Chiropractic and Sports Therapy Bates Chiropractic and Sports Therapy is not like any other clinic in Northern Louisiana. How do overuse conditions occur?

Here you will receive the same innovative treatments as professional athletes. Bates Chiro offers traditional chiropractic, nutrition, keniso tape, and rehab. However, Dr. Bates is bringing active release technique (ART) to Northern Louisiana. ART is the gold standard in soft tissue treatment. Dr. Bates has found his formula of treatment to work very fast unlike most standard treatments. Most patients see dramatic results from just one treatment! Even if you are not an athlete Dr. Bates has helped children, elderly and regular everyday people. Dr. Bates has already worked with numerous professional athletes, college athletes, and normal everyday people while completing his internship at one of the best sports chiropractic clinics in Texas. What is Active Release Techniques (ART) to Individuals, Athletes, and Patients? 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. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles. Over-used muscles (and other soft tissues) change in three important ways:
acute conditions (pulls, tears, collisions, etc),
accumulation of small tears (micro-trauma)
not getting enough oxygen (hypoxia). Each of these factors can cause your body to produce tough, dense scar tissue in the affected area. This scar tissue binds up and ties down tissues that need to move freely. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become shorter and weaker, tension on tendons causes tendonitis, and nerves can become trapped. This can cause reduced range of motion, loss of strength, and pain. If a nerve is trapped you may also feel tingling, numbness, and weakness. What is an ART treatment like? Every ART session is actually a combination of examination and treatment. The ART provider uses his or her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements. These treatment protocols - over 500 specific moves - are unique to ART. They allow providers to identify and correct the specific problems that are affecting each individual patient. ART is not a cookie-cutter approach.

When the last patient leaves and the clinic doors close…

Dr. Bates doesn’t clock out.

He heads out a lot to help the kids of our community

After clinic hours, he volunteers to help young athletes:
How to respond when they’re tired
How to lead when they’re frustrated
How to stay composed when things don’t go their way
How to carry themselves with confidence

“The greatest return on investment isn’t money. It’s a young mind that believes in itself.”……..Dr. Bates.
