The Method
The McKenzie Method® is a philosophy of active patient involvement and education for back, neck, and extremity problems. Most pain is "mechanical" in nature, meaning it is caused by a force applied to the system. The theory is that mechanical pain is decreased or abolished by reversing forces. This mechanical diagnosis and patient management system applies to acute, subacute, and chronic pain of the spine and extremities. Mckenzie exercises offer a reliable and practical approach focusing on "what patients need" and not "what a physical therapist wants to do."
Why Choose the McKenzie Chiropractic Method in Nashville?
There is usually immediate feedback when using the McKenzie Method® so that physical therapists and patients know immediately if they are on the right track to healing.
The key distinction is in the initial assessment component – a safe and reliable means to reach a diagnosis and make an appropriate treatment plan accurately.
McKenzie is a comprehensive approach to mechanical problems based on sound principles and fundamentals that are very successful when understood and followed.
