McKenzie Approach to Spinal Care

The McKenzie approach to spinal care is a specialized mechanical and diagnostic therapy system clinicians utilize to treat pain and injuries of the spine. Following a thorough assessment, patients are assigned a treatment classification based on their responses to movement. The three classifications are derangement (i.e. disc pathology), dysfunction (i.e. tight tissues), and postural syndrome. Once the patient's pain source is determined, specific exercises and treatment techniques are performed to assist in alleviating a patient's symptoms. This includes patient generated exercises and if need be, hands on specialized care by one of our trained PT Plus therapists.
