Manual Therapy
Manual Therapy Center in Schaumburg, Oakbrook Terrace, Orland Park
Manual Therapy, similar to clinical massage, is the part of the treatment plan that involves hands-on techniques used by healthcare providers in order to reduce pain, increase range of motion (mobility), improve circulation, decrease soft tissue inflammation, recover from injury, facilitate movement, elongate shortened muscles and return to functional activities. It is distinct from massage therapy due to the specific techniques that are implemented and due to the clinical and anatomical focus that it entails.
In addition to manual therapy, our chiropractors also integrate spinal manipulations, exercise rehabilitation, nutrition counseling and ergonomic counseling into their treatment plans in order to help you get pain free, get moving and get well again
