What is Manual Therapy?
Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Our chiropractors use their hands to manipulate muscles, joints, and soft tissues to improve function, reduce pain, and enhance mobility. This therapy is a core component of our chiropractic care, focusing on physical manipulation to achieve therapeutic results.
Types of Manual Therapy
Our chiropractors employ various types of manual therapy, including:
Joint Manipulation:
This involves applying controlled force to a joint to improve its movement and function.
Soft Tissue Mobilization:
Techniques like massage and myofascial release relax muscles and improve blood flow.
ART:
Active Release Technique (ART) is a manual therapy that involves precise movements and targeted pressure to break down scar tissue and adhesions in muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
IASTM:
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a therapy that uses specialized tools to detect and treat soft tissue restrictions and injuries.
