The McKenzie Method® of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy™ is
an active patient treatment philosophy that emphasizes prevention
and intervention, and encourages patients to
be in control of their own treatment.
It is a logical, cost-effective process that evaluates the
patient's problem quickly. The assessment process is always
effective because a McKenzie practitioner will identify
both responders and non-responders.
Since most spinal pain is believed to be mechanical in nature,
most responders will show patterns of response to pain and
function, and then be classified accordingly. This classification
is unique to the McKenzie Method and provides a benefit
to the patient and practitioner by eliminating the need
for expensive and/or invasive procedures, because patients
will be treated based on their individual spinal syndrome.
