What is manual therapy?

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach used by chiropractors to treat musculoskeletal pain, tension, and mobility issues. By using various techniques to manipulate muscles, joints, and soft tissues, we help restore function, reduce pain, and support your body's natural healing process.

Techniques We Use.

 

  • Trigger Point Therapy
    Applies focused pressure to tight, tender muscle areas (trigger points) to relieve referred pain and stiffness.

  • Stretching & Muscle Energy Techniques
    Active, patient-involved techniques used to lengthen tight muscles and improve flexibility.

  • Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) or Graston 
    Utilizes specialized tools to detect and treat chronic soft tissue restrictions and improve movement.

  • Cupping Therapy
    An ancient therapeutic technique that uses suction cups to lift soft tissue, enhance blood circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing. Cupping can be used alone or in combination with other manual therapy techniques to treat issues like back pain, inflammation, and tight muscles.
