Manual therapy is a conservative non-drug treatment method. A doctor – a chiropractor – directly, with the help of his hands (hence the name: manus in Latin means “hand, hand”) acts on muscle tissues, spine, joints, ligamentous apparatus. Indirectly, the effect affects the blood vessels and nerve endings. The techniques used by the chiropractor are aimed at restoring the configuration of the articular surfaces, removing “clamps,” and normalizing muscle tone. As a result, tissues relax, tissue nutrition is normalized, and metabolism improves. The body’s own capabilities are stimulated.

Things to look out for when choosing a chiropractor

An incompetent specialist can cause irreparable harm to your health, which is why you need to pay attention to the factors that signal unprofessionalism. Namely:

●       An abundance of marketing gimmicks. If you are invited to a free promotional “therapeutic massage with elements of manual therapy,” – be wary. Pseudo-specialists often have success from a financial point of view but do not take responsibility for a possible negative result.

●       Lack of diagnostics. If you are ready to prescribe the treatment without a diagnosis, do not agree, the consequences can be severe.

●       Unwillingness to confirm expertise. A doctor’s experience is essential – the more practice, the more sensitive the doctor’s hands are. Of course, theoretical knowledge is also important, and higher medical education is a necessary base.

We only work with certified professionals who can confirm their education and practice. All conditions for comprehensive diagnostics are provided, and sessions are held in well-equipped manual therapy rooms.
