Active Release Chiropractic therapy is the way to go.  It keeps your body moving and relieves the gnarliness we all get from the everyday push/pull, sit/stand and injuries of life.
I was thrilled to find Contemporary Alternative Care in Sarasota when we moved here six years ago.  The Doctors of Chiropractic and all of the staff with whom I have had contact are superb.  Without fail, they are not only good practitioners and office staff, but really kind people on a mission to help.
I have recommended two other people who have had exactly the same experience.
These are my people.  Life is better because of them.  😎

After a car accident, I was experiencing pain throughout my spine. BreAnna was able to get my discs back in place and my neck is doing great - no more headaches!

While waiting for my first appointment, a woman came in, raised both her arms and said to the receptionist "Look! A miracle!" Then it was my turn. My lifelong neck pain was relieved in one treatment, stabilized in two. I'm a big fan!

I was experiencing terrible pain in my mid back area and it was greatly affecting my work. A few visits later and I’m feeling wonderful! The women at the front desk was very welcoming each time and the atmosphere is very nice.

I was recommended to your office as I have a frozen shoulder.  Although a cortisone shot helped the pain, I still could not raise my arm.  I had trouble dressing, drying my hair and sleeping. The only thing that helped move my arm was ART. It has improved 100%.

​My last experience was years ago when dealing with serious sciatic nerve pain.  I had tried EVERYTHING, except for what my wife suggested first - a visit to your office. Catherine did her best to make me cry (those were not tears), but more importantly, she healed me in three visits.  
I’ve recommended your office to anyone who mentions an issue with pain. Everyone who has followed my advice (or my wife’s) has been happy.
This visit was the result of “saving” my lawnmower as it fell out of the back of my truck.  Nowhere near as bad as the sciatic pain, but irritating enough to ruin almost every day.  BreAnna didn’t mention trying to make me cry, but there were moments…  It seems weird to say I enjoyed my time with her, but the conversations were great (even at 7:30) and the treatment was exceptional.

I always feel great after a visit and I am educated on ways to be healthy between visits. The office is pleasant and clean. Happy atmosphere. I feel like my personal wellbeing is important to them.

I suffered from plantar fasciitis for 5 years. I tried everything - from stretching to splints at night, orthotics, and cortisone injections. Nothing worked! I was 35 years old and using a cane to get out of bed at night.  Within three ART sessions I was considerably improved. By the fifth visit I was cured after years of pain.

Catherine was recommended to me three years ago through a friend, and it was the best recommendation I have ever received. Catherine helped me deal with shoulder and neck injuries when conventional doctors were suggesting surgery. She has continued to help me with my sports related injuries with my regular visits. Her success with my injuries encouraged me to bring my son and he is much better as well."

Please send love and thankfulness to everyone at CAC. My body and soul have been given such gifts from your beautiful practice. I am finding folks up here to help keep me cracked and oiled, but quite often think, "Sure would love to have Cat work on me!" I'll make a trip back from the mountains and will schedule a tune up!

Since my treatment last week I have had no pain at all so do not feel I need further attention. Please cancel my appointment and  pass on my thanks and let BreAnna know that she’s done a fantastic job.  
If and when I need any further treatment in the future I shall certainly get in touch. 
Many thanks
Andi

After virtually no improvement icing and resting for 2+ weeks, my foot is already feeling better after just one day of your suggested treatment.
So my ART specialist is better via text than "one of the best" podiatrists in this general area of CT with an in-person visit and 9 years being my doc.

After 5 years and thousands of dollars, you diagnosed the root of my neck pain  and excruciating headaches. Words can't begin to express my appreciation  to you and for you. You've been a miracle in my life.

After one treatment I was limp-free for the first time in over a year. I'm in my 50s and thought my active lifestyle was behind me. Now I am back to biking, hiking, blading and tennis. Thanks to A.R.T. I am looking forward to the future instead of dreading my next injured body part.

Contemporary Alternative Care was recommended to me in 2014 when I was dealing with a sciatic nerve issue. I had tried EVERYTHING else - cupping, acupuncture, massage... After the first visit, I was 70% better, by the third visit, I was healed. I injured my back recently and still had their card in my wallet. I'm two visits in and already at 85%. In addition to delivering results, they have an exceptional staff. Customer service is awesome. And they open at 7:30!

Best thing I ever found for dealing with my plantar fasciitis (and other aches and pains)! Highly recommend this place .

After top orthopedists insisted my knee pain was arthritis, ART treatment alleviated the pain. Whenever I have a flare-up, ART gets my knees back in shape.

I am an avid tennis player and was suffering from a painful calf. A fellow tennis friend highly recommended treatment from Cat Martin at Contemporary Alternative Care. After just 3 visits, I was healed. I continue to see Cat every other week to help prevent injuries. I have also referred 80% of my tennis friends to her and they have all received the same relief for their areas of concern. If you have a stubborn reoccuring injury, I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Cat.

I had a severe accident 3 years ago, including shoulder replacement, neurological damage in my right hand, knee pain and neck pain. Catherine is a warrior healer - couldn't be better. Range of motion improved dramatically with less pain. Knee pain just about gone, neck pain is so far drastically reduced."

What a blessing Contemporary AlternativeCare has been to me. I had been going to chiropractors for years but never getting to the place where I felt I had been healed. After just two times I knew I had found the right place. Now I feel wonderful and it is so good to be free from pain!

I was suffering from left leg, left knee, and left hip pain and was not able to run. With the help of Dr. Cat I was not only able to run again, but I completed the Chicago Marathon! Thank you Dr. Cat.

Excellent care from my visit. The doctor was great with the adjustments and ART for scar tissue - felt great.

I can walk! After surgery on my foot several years ago I had many associated problems with my foot, leg, hip and back. Dr. Martin saved the day. I had a much faster recovery as a result of her powerful thumbs! Thank you Dr. Martin.
