Orthopedic Manipulative Therapy
Scientific evidence makes clear the role of manipulative therapy in the management of musculoskeletal pain. It is essential to perform a neurological and musculoskeletal examination and to identify contraindications to adjustment or manipulative techniques.
The Spine Institute uses a multimodal treatment, associating several therapeutic strategies.Different parts of the body can be helped by manipulating the spine and joints. An adjustment can relieve pain, correct your body's alignment, and improve your overall function.
Manipulative therapy can treat pain anywhere in the body: in the head and jaws, shoulders, elbows and wrists, hips and pelvis, knees and ankles. Health problems of different ages are treated. Depending on the patient, the intensity and strength of the treatments vary. All patients are screened to ensure they are good candidates for treatment.
