R

A.R.T is a successful approach for diagnosing and treating muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and fascia, collectively known as soft tissue.

Typical injuries that can be alleviated by A.R.T are caused by repetitive stresses such as clicking a mouse, poor posture at the desk, lifting and improper walking/running mechanics.

A.R.T is often used on athletes and those who have conditions related to athletic injury. A.R.T can also be used to enhance performance by improving range of motion

When injuries occur, the healing process involves the creation of scar tissue. The healing scar tissue adheres to the surrounding structures. It is difficult for a muscle or other structure to perform optimally if not able to manenuver properly.

The goal of A.R.T is to find the exact location and exact problem of the tissue involved and apply a specific, hands-on technique to release and resolve the area.

Headaches, back pain. carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems and tennis elbow are just a few conditions that can be resolved with A.R.T.

Chiropractic Care

We understand that our patients may have questions or concerns upon receiving chiropractic care for the first time, and it is our goal to ensure a positive, relaxing experience at New Path. With that in mind, please find some common questions and answers about what to expect during your first visit. What is Chiropractic?Contrary to popular belief, chiropractic encompasses much more than just "adjusting the back". Chiropractic focuses on leading an overall healthy life. Because the nervous system is responsible for controlling and coordinating all of the body's other systems that help us to live (respiratory, digestive, muscular, and immune), chiropractors believe that keeping the nervous system healthy by gently and painlessly adjusting the vertebral column, many other conditions, illnesses, and physical problems can be avoided and aided. What is a chiropractic adjustment?A chiropractic adjustment consists of locating a subluxation (a disruption or distortion of energy flow caused by spinal misalignment), and gently adjusting using a variety of techniques depending upon the patient's needs. Adjustments may be given manually or using harmless tools that assist the chiropractor in realigning the spine. Adjustments are not painful, but may cause a patient to feel slight soreness or discomfort in the days following an adjustment.Do I have to have a pain or health problem in order to visit a Chiropractor?Not at all! In fact, chiropractic is great preventative care for many health related issues. Many people do not seek chiropractic care until there is pain or injury involved, and while we can surely assist you in such cases, it is recommended that chiropractic care is begun early on (as young as infancy!) and in good health. We believe that helping our patients live truly healthy lives means treating the patient as a whole, not just the part that is diseased.We are dedicated to educating our patients and the public about the many wonderful reasons why chiropractic can be beneficial to everyone, and we often receive looks of surprise when we mention some of the little-known conditions that chiropractic may be able to assist with such as: earaches in infants and children, colic, reducing blood pressure, infertility issues, sleep disorders... the list goes on and on. Our patients come in all shapes and sizes, from infant to elderly, and our passion is helping you live your best life!

Cold Light Laser Therapy

Cold Light Laser Therapy

What is it?

Form of phototherapy(light therapy) producing a beam of light which is applied over injured areas.

How does it work?

It is postulated that the laser light is absorbed by living tissues and may trigger biological reactions in the cells.

Why is it called a "Cold" Light Laser

The term "cold" is used because the light beam is pulsated. In other words, it is not a continuous stream of light. A continuous stream of light will produce heat in which the cold light laser does not.

How will it help?

Helps reduce pain by stimulating the production of natural pain killers called endorphins

May help to reduce inflammation by suppressing inflammatory enzymes that create swelling, redness, pain and heat.

Can help to enhance lymphatic drainage to increase circulation and speed healing.

Research?

There are more than 2,500 scientific research studies on cold light laser therapy

Is there pain or discomfort with laser therapy?

No there is not!

Headaches

The shoulder is made up of three bones; collar bone (clavicle), shoulder blades (scapula) and arm bone(humerus). Also included in the shoulder anatomy are the muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue.The Rotator Cuff: Four muscles make up the rotator cuff (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis) Overuse of the rotator cuff muscles can lead to shoulder discomforts. Volleyball, baseball and softball players are prone to these types of injuries.Shoulder Joint Capsule: The cartilage surrounding the main shoulder joint(glenohumeral joint). Poor posture (rolled in shoulder and head protruding forward) while sitting at the computer may cause the back part(posterior) of the capsule to become overstretched and irriatated. This may be reason for non traumatic or non sports related shoulder discomforts It is important to make a correct diagnosis of all shoulder complaints to render the proper treatment. Shoulder x-ray and/or MRI may be necessary tools to determine a diagnosis.Possible causes: traumas, repetitive stresses, sports, sleeping positions, holding a baby and computer useTreatment:Active Release Technique:Microtears (tiny tears) in the muscles are healed by scar tissues which may be a cause of symptoms. A.R.T helps to manually break down the scar tissue.Muscles, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue and cartilage will be assessed and treated with A.R.T Exercise Rehabilitation: Protocol of various shoulder, neck and back exercises to strengthen and support shoulder joint.

Functional Medicine

By using an evaluation to assess an individual's metabolic function, we are able to target the areas of imbalancesig and begin to restore functionality. The process used includes a complete physical examination, blood chemistry analysis, health questionnaires and depending on the individual, more specific diagnostic tests.

Once the area of imbalances is determined, a customized treatment plan can be created for the individuals.

A treatment plan consists of a tailored nutritional program, detoxification regimen, personalized supplementation and a suggested exercise program. Co-treatment with a medical doctor may be recommended.

Many health conditions exist as a result of imbalances in the function of one or more of the body's main systmens. The science of functional medicine classifies the areas of imbalance into six broad categories.

Nutritional Imbalances

Immune/Inflammatory

Intestinal Dysfunction

Impaired Detoxification

Oxidative Stress

Endocrine Imbalances

Often times, individual experiencing these issues will exhibit symptoms such as weight gain, fatigue, thyroid imbalances, cardiovascular risks and blood sugar imbalances.

What They Have Been Saying

"Being a professional fighter requires a lot out of my body. As we prepare for fights we push our bodies to extremes. Sometimes to the point where injuries will occur. I contacted Dr. Steve Muscari because I started having numbness and severe pains in both of my arms to such a degree that I was unable to open my car door. I also suffered a torn quad in training which left me with a swollen leg. With my fight just 4 weeks away I was very worried that I would have to pull out due to injury. When I walked in the door Dr. Muscari greeted me with a large smile knowing that his knowledge of the human body would get me healthy and back in the cage. He promised and kept reassuring me that he would do whatever it takes to get me healthy for my fight, and he was a man of his word. At times Dr. Muscari even opened his office for me before it opened and after it closed just to accommodate my schedule. Dr. Muscari began using a procedure called Active Release Technique. I was completely blown away on how fast my body responded to the treatment. I had been to many chiropractors previously and had not once heard of Active Release Technique. After my very first treatment the numbness and pain started going away in my arms and my leg started having more function. As the treatments continued and my body got stronger my self-confidence began to grow. I am happy to say that I won my fight in the second round by Knock Out. If it was not for Dr. Steve Muscari I know for certain that I would have had to pull out of my fight. I now recommend Dr. Muscari to my family, friends, and teammates. It was an absolute pleasure to have him as my doctor and I thank God for him!!"

- Hayder H. , Professional Fighter

"Dr. Steve really does care about his patients. It's apparent in the way he approaches patient care and how he lives his life outside of work. He's very dedicated to healing and nutrition, and his techniques really work. I'm grateful for all the help Dr. Steve provided to me after I suffered severe whiplash in a car accident. The Active Release Technique that he uses is amazing, and not many chiropractors seem to know about it. I'm a big fan!"
