Manual Therapy in League City

Are you ready to experience the healing power of touch? Let’s dive into the world of Manual Therapy at Pharaoh Health and Rehab, where our skilled hands work wonders to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance your overall well-being.

What is Manual Therapy?

Manual therapy is the art and science of hands-on healing. It’s a cornerstone of chiropractic care, and for good reason – the word “chiropractic” itself comes from the Greek words for “hand” (cheiro) and “to do” (praxis). At Pharaoh Health and Rehab, we use a variety of manual therapy techniques to address a wide range of musculoskeletal issues.

Our Manual Therapy Toolbox

 

Chiropractic Manipulation

Chiropractic manipulation is the technique most people associate with chiropractic care. Here’s what you need to know:

  • What it is: A controlled, sudden force applied to a joint at the end of its range of motion.
  • How it works: It helps correct structural misalignments, improve joint function, and reduce pain.
  • What to expect: You might hear a popping sound – don’t worry, that’s just gas being released from the joint!

 

Soft Tissue Manual Therapy

Sometimes, the root of your pain lies not in your bones, but in the soft tissues surrounding them.

Our soft tissue techniques include:

 

Strain-Counterstrain

  • What it is: A gentle technique that involves holding specific positions to relax tense tissues.
  • Benefits: Alleviates muscle and joint tightness, reduces pain, and improves flexibility.
  • What to expect: You’ll be guided into a position of comfort and held there briefly.

 

Manual Traction

  • What it is: Gentle stretching of the spine to create space between vertebrae.
  • Benefits: Relieves pressure on spinal discs, eases sciatica, and helps with bulging or herniated discs.
  • What to expect: You’ll feel a gentle stretching sensation in your spine.

 

Trigger Point Therapy/Myofascial Release

  • What it is: Targeted pressure on specific points in muscles or fascia (connective tissue).
  • Benefits: Relieves chronic muscle pain, improves mobility, and eases tension.
  • What to expect: You might feel temporary discomfort followed by significant relief.

 

The Science Behind Manual Therapy

You might be wondering, “How does manual therapy actually work?” Here’s a quick breakdown:

  1. Improves circulation: Manual therapy techniques increase blood flow to treated areas, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
  2. Releases endorphins: The body’s natural pain-killers are released during manual therapy, providing relief and a sense of well-being.
  3. Breaks up adhesions: Manual techniques can break down scar tissue and adhesions that restrict movement and cause pain.
  4. Resets muscle memory: By working on soft tissues, we can help your body remember proper movement patterns.
  5. Stimulates the nervous system: Manual therapy can help calm an overactive nervous system, reducing pain signals.
