Spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) is defined as a high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) thrust intended to increase the mobility of a specific joint in the spine, improve function, and decrease pain.
Peripheral joint manipulation is defined as a high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) thrust intended to increase the mobility of a specific peripheral joint(hip, knee, ankle…) to improve function, and decrease pain.
Break down difficult to reach knots in muscle that produce a pain referral pattern. During dry needling, a practitioner inserts several filiform needles into your skin. Filiform needles are fine, short, stainless steel needles that don’t inject fluid into the body. That’s why the term “dry” is used.
Practitioners place the needles in “trigger points” in your muscle or tissue. Dry needling is also sometimes called intramuscular stimulation. The trigger points are areas of knotted or hard muscle.
Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a skilled myofascial intervention used for soft-tissue treatment. Breaking down muscle spasms by increasing the blood flow via reducing the tension of the fascia surrounding the muscle.
Shock wave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to treat musculoskeletal conditions. The therapy can help relieve pain and promote healing in injured tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues by releasing growth factors in the injured area.
Ischemic compression is a therapy technique used in manual therapy, where blockage of blood in an area of the body is deliberately made, so that a resurgence of local blood flow will occur upon release
Active Release Techniques (ART) are a soft tissue method that focuses on relieving tissue tension via the removal of fibrosis/adhesions which can develop in tissues as a result of overload due to repetitive use. These disorders may lead to muscular weakness, numbness, aching, tingling and burning sensations.
Lumbar traction is a chiropractic technique that uses mechanical force to separate the lumbar vertebrae along the spine's axis. It can involve applying stretching force to the vertebrae using body weight, weights, or pulleys to distract the joints. This technique is a very easy and glentle way to separate joint surfaces without causing a pain response.
This taping technique is to help people with muscle stimulation and correct joint dyskinesia disorders
