Manual therapy  is a complex of special soft treatment methods, which is carried out exclusively by professional and sensitive hands   of a specialist without any surgical intervention. The greatest efficiency is achieved when undergoing a course of manual therapy, however, the first effect appears very quickly - after 1-2 sessions.

Currently, manual therapy has become widespread and recognized due to a number of features:

  1. High efficiency;

  2. Rapid appearance of results;

  3. Treatment without surgery and medication;

  4. A small list of contraindications.

Procedures and principle of operation of manual therapy

​

  During a manual therapy session, a real specialist does not use a standard set of actions, but an individual one that is most suitable in each case. The complex of actions is a synthesis of techniques that include: segmental massage, post-isometric relaxation, myofascial release, traction techniques, mobilization and manipulation techniques, cranio-sacral and visceral techniques.

  By exerting a physical impact on nearby organs (muscles, ligaments, blood vessels, etc.), a chiropractor restores their functions and, thereby, relieves pain in the spine and joints, internal organs. Under the influence of manual therapy, blood microcirculation improves, thereby stimulating tissue nutrition, metabolism, and changing muscle tone. In the case of a hernia, manual therapy can be used as an adjunct to those treatments that are aimed at reducing or eliminating the spinal hernia itself.

  Manual therapy is great not only for treatment, but also for the prevention of diseases (especially the musculoskeletal system). Its use allows preventing the appearance and exacerbation of diseases of the spine and joints, such as osteochondrosis, scoliosis, radiculitis, intervertebral hernia, etc., or preventing them at an early stage.

As we said above, manual therapy techniques have a small list of contraindications, the list of which also depends on the qualifications of the specialist. So, for a specialist of the highest category, absolute contraindications for the use of manual therapy are:

  1. Tumors, as well as acute inflammatory processes in the joints, brain and spinal cord;
