McKenzie Mechanical Therapy
Are you tired of enduring the debilitating effects of back pain? Look no further than the McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT). This unique approach to treating spine and extremity pain offers a comprehensive assessment, diagnosis, and treatment process that has undergone extensive research and validation over the years.
The research surrounding the McKenzie Method demonstrates its exceptional reliability in identifying pain of a mechanical origin. Mechanical pain arises from biomechanical dysfunctions in the movement of bones, joints, or associated muscles. The majority of musculoskeletal pain, including neck and low back pain, falls under this category.
According to the McKenzie Institute, the treatment principles of the McKenzie Method prioritize the body's innate potential to heal itself, without relying on medication, heat, cold, ultrasound, needles, or surgery. This approach empowers patients to learn and apply the principles of self-management, reducing dependency on medical interventions.
At ASR Sports Medicine, we embrace the McKenzie Method as one of our primary techniques for effectively treating low back and neck pain. During the assessment phase, our highly skilled Doctors of Physical Therapy will work closely with you to pinpoint the precise cause of your symptoms. By understanding the underlying mechanical dysfunction, we can develop a personalized treatment plan aimed at rapidly resolving your pain and restoring optimal function.
One of the most remarkable aspects of the McKenzie Method is that it places you, the patient, in control of your symptoms and empowers you to manage them even beyond the confines of our clinic. Through tailored exercises and self-care techniques, you'll gain valuable knowledge and skills to alleviate and prevent future episodes of pain. This self-empowering aspect of the McKenzie Method ensures that you can actively participate in your own recovery journey, fostering long-term success and reducing reliance on ongoing medical interventions.
Per the McKenzie Institute’s website: “The treatment principles of the McKenzie Method promote the body’s potential to repair itself and do not involve the use of medication, heat, cold, ultrasound, needles, or surgery. McKenzie allows patients to learn the principles and empowers them to be in control of their own symptom management, which can reduce dependency on medical intervention.”
