Our unique method to assess and treat the spine is widely recommended as the first choice for common back and neck problems worldwide.
The total system of patient care known as the McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy is an approach that is trusted and used by practitioners and patients all over the world for common back and neck problems.
Most low back pain is "mechanical" in origin, meaning that an applied force caused the pain. A basic philosophy of McKenzie's theory is that the reverse force can probably abolish the pain and restore function.
McKenzie credits the patient's ability to learn the principles and empowers them to be in control of their own symptom management, which can reduce dependency on medical intervention. The McKenzie Method promotes the body's potential to heal itself without medication, heat, cold, ultrasound, needles, surgery or a force dependent on the practitioner. It also addresses a growing demand from patients and third party payers for professional rehabilitation services that develop the patient's self-treatment skills in a cost-effective and time-effective manner. |
