Terry, personal experience is not heresay. Heresay is when someone told you about their experiences. But yes, mobilization is different from an adjustment. But the goals of each are often similar, I was merely stating the latter gain faster results.
Brajesh Kumar yes that is correct when applying a unilateral PA you would apply it on the affected side, if you were to do a transverse mobilisation you would apply the pressure from the non-painful side towards the painful side
anyone from the UK? why cant NHS physios ever do any maitland mobilization? v. frustrating. my partner has to do this on me with no qualifications for me to get any relief as so called medical experts are useless. ive been to osteos and chiros but hes the only one who puts his hands right on the L5 spot
The most important is always the diagnostic. where to apply the treatment is essential. A correct treatment applied in a wrong place will cause more damage or no effect
@brucenash many recent researchs postulate that they have the same result and efectiveness as the manipulation techniques for muscle skeletal treatment and they are safer to perform, specially in the cervical spine.
I have a displaced C4 that is causing compression of my cervical artery (mostly on the left), and jacking up my heart rate (amongst other issues) 24/7. My chiropractor has not done what I see in this video, he only will tap it with an "activator" and an arthorstem (sp?). I've been in therapy for 2 months, and have seen little or no improvement. Am I being impatient, or are there more aggressive therapies available? I have a neck traction unit at home, and do 5-6 stretches every other day, as well as a TENS unit. My concern is for the stress on my heart if this continues months longer. Thanks for any advice.
muchas veces las vertebras cervicales que dan problemas son las hipermóviles (C4-C5-C6) pero no son las que hay que manipular. Hay que tratar normalmente las hipomoviles que se encuentran por debajo o por encima de estas
If your artery is being compressed then these techniques are likely contraindicated; and "more aggressive" techniques are certainly contraindicated. This was some years though; how have you been since then?
yes I agree. in fact, this method works better for my low back compared with manipulation. manipulation doesn't seem to get right into the spot for me. however, if I lay across a pillow to take out the lordosis in my spine, and get my partner to push on my L4 and L5, he mobilises it better than a chiro or osteo!
This is just vertebral joint mobilization in 3 dimension. Great for very elderly or arthritic patients. Helps, gently, but very slow results. Getting a proper and skilled chiropractic adjustment works much better and faster.
Proof? If it's only from personal experience it's nothing more than hearsay. What you're comparing are completely different modalities. He is showing mobilisations. A chiropractic "adjustment" is the same as a "manipulation" in different fields. Both consist of a high velocity low amplitude thrust.
absolutely wrong, the bones and joints are nothing more then slaves to the pulling forces of the muscles. it is the 4th layer intervertebral muscles that go into spasm which creates the facet joint dysfunction. By working with the sot tissues we can much more effectively treat the dysfunction WE NEED SOFT TISSUE WORK. THE HIGH VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT IS ONLY USED FOR FINANCIAL REASONS TO TURN OUT AS MANY CLIENTS AS POSSIBLE TO MAKE THE MOST MONEY. IT IS DANGEROUS, RISKY, AND HIGHLY INEFFECTIVE COMPARED TO WORKING WITH THE MUSCLES AND FASCIA OF THE NECK.
correct... I am a massage guy.. clients with pain in ANY JOINTS dont come back to me in years... I expend 1 1/2 or 2 hours with them... muscles have to be work it out a lot... and then i do the proper adjustments... I got a OMNI chiropractic table 5 drops... also I apply PT techniques on them... I charge $ 200 for session.. and I do 1 client a Day PERIOD.... I dont have energy for another patient same day..
