What is Manual Therapy?
Conservative approaches to treatment plans are often the best place to
start when it comes to initially addressing a patient’s condition. Manual Therapy is a hands-on treatment technique by our clinicians that is used to treat a variety of conditions — aches, joint pain, and limited mobility to name a few. The process is minimally invasive and typically involves manipulation, mobilization and massaging of your joints, soft tissues, and muscles to facilitate the healing process.
How can Manual Therapy help with Pinched Nerves?
Pinched nerves happen when pressure is applied to a nerve by tissues, bones, muscles or cartilage that surround the nerve. This can occur as a result of a traumatic injury, or it can develop over time from constant use of the same joint. (Common pinched nerves in the wrist are often the cause of carpal tunnel syndrome) For more information on Pinched Nerves.
Through the process of manual therapy, the clinician will use their hands to manipulate the joint or area where your pinched nerve is located. By repetitive, slow and controlled mobilization of the area, the pinched nerve can be alleviated as the muscles, tendons and nerves in the area are stimulated. Massaging of the area is also a key element of Manual Therapy, consisting of repetitive rubbing, kneading and relieving of muscle systems surrounding the area of discomfort.
