Manual therapy
A method of treating diseases of the musculoskeletal system based on manual action on joints, spine, muscles and ligaments.
The musculoskeletal system often suffers from stress, sedentary lifestyle or injuries, which leads to limited mobility, pain syndromes and even chronic diseases.
Manual therapy restores the natural mobility of the spine and joints, improves tissue nutrition by increasing blood flow and lymph circulation. The technique is effective in the treatment of back and joint pain (osteochondrosis, arthrosis, arthritis, hernia, protrusion, etc.), as well as neurological complications, including radicular syndromes (radiculopathy, sciatica, sciatica, etc.). The procedure is aimed at eliminating symptoms and restoring the function of the motor segment. Manual therapy differs from massage: it affects not only soft tissues, but also directly on joints and related tendon-ligamentous structures (including intervertebral discs). This makes it an effective treatment method for patients with functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
A complete diagnosis is performed before the start of the manual therapy session: Collection of anamnesis and assessment of patient complaints. X-ray, MRI or CT scan. Inspection and functional tests to identify problem areas. The patient is recommended to wear comfortable clothes and avoid heavy physical exertion the day before the session.
The patient is placed on a massage couch in a comfortable position. The specialist manually corrects pathological changes by affecting joints, spine or muscles using special techniques: Manipulations: short jerky movements that restore joint mobility. Mobilizations: gentle stretches, tilts and rotations to eliminate tension and improve blood circulation. Soft techniques: relieving spasms, improving the elasticity of muscles and ligaments, eliminating pain.
Couches with height and tilt adjustment. Orthopedic pillows and cushions. Vibrating massagers or applicators for preparing tissues for exposure.
After manual therapy, the patient is recommended to rest for 15-20 minutes, avoid sudden movements and heavy physical exertion during the day. You should also warm the problem area to enhance the therapeutic effect.
Multifaceted impact— Improves the functioning of joints, muscles and nervous system. Without medicines— It helps to avoid side effects of medications. Personalization— The methodology is selected individually, which ensures high efficiency. Minimum of contraindications— It is suitable for patients of different ages and health conditions.
