“I’d been suffering with wrist, elbow, and neck pain for about a year-and-a-half. I’d seen various sports medicine doctors and physiotherapists, but, unfortunately, without any luck in pain management. Dr. Notley introduced himself via Twitter, after I made a comment about wrist pain I was experiencing.
The day after my first appointment, I already felt 30% improvement in my wrist, and I had full range of motion in my neck. After only a couple of months of first weekly and then bi-weekly treatment, I feel better and more pain-free than I have before!
Dr. Notley is a very professional, friendly, and down-to-earth individual. I appreciate that he really took the time to sit with me at my first appointment to see what would be the best course of treatment for me. I had a referral for acupuncture, but it turns out Active Release Techniques (A.R.T.) is what was best for my body.
Dr. Notley’s level of experience is definitely what sets him apart in the field, and I’d recommend him to anyone seeking relief from pain!”

Tackling Localized Pain: Wrist, Elbow, and Neck Relief
Cindy’s case shows how localized problems in areas like the wrist and elbow can significantly impact daily life. For over a year, she dealt with pain that limited her ability to function, despite trying various treatments. It wasn’t until we combined chiropractic care for wrist pain and Active Release Techniques (A.R.T.) that she finally found relief.
What made the difference for Cindy wasn’t just addressing her neck pain, but tackling the specific local dysfunctions in her wrist and elbow. In her case, there was no nerve referral pain from the neck. Instead, the pain in each area was linked to restricted movement and tight, dysfunctional soft tissues.
How Chiropractic Care and A.R.T. Made the Difference
At the clinic, I always strive to find the root cause of the pain, which in Cindy’s case was more localized. The wrist and elbow pain were likely caused by tight and damaged muscles and tendons in the area. By applying Active Release Techniques, we were able to reduce these tissue restrictions, improving her range of motion and relieving the pain.
This approach is highly effective for localized musculoskeletal issues because it helps to free up tight structures that are interfering with movement, while chiropractic adjustments help restore proper joint function.
In Cindy’s case, combining soft tissue work with chiropractic adjustments was key to addressing her long-standing pain. After just one session, she felt noticeable improvement in both her wrist and neck, and continued care provided long-lasting relief.
Comprehensive Care for Long-Term Results
Many people who experience pain in areas like the wrist, elbow, and neck have localized issues that benefit from a combination of soft tissue therapies and chiropractic care. What sets my practice apart is the focus on integrating these treatments to deliver comprehensive care. It’s not just about making an adjustment—it’s about addressing the muscles, tendons, and ligaments that could be contributing to pain.
If you’re dealing with chronic pain in your wrist, elbow, or other joints, my practice offers a personalized approach that combines soft tissue techniques like A.R.T. with chiropractic care, designed to address your specific issues and get you back to feeling your best.
