How CMT Therapy Works

​

Chiropractic manipulative therapy works through several interconnected mechanisms that promote healing and restore normal function:

​

1.  Restoring Joint Mechanics

When joints become restricted or misaligned, they lose their normal range of motion. Through gentle, precise movements, we help restore proper joint positioning and movement patterns. This mechanical correction allows your joints to move freely and function as they were designed to.

​

2.  Neurological Reset

Your spine houses your nervous system, and when joints aren't moving properly, they can interfere with nerve function. The gentle adjustments help normalize nerve signals by:

• Reducing pressure on compressed nerves

• Improving communication between your brain and body

• Resetting pain receptors that may be overactive

• Enhancing your body's natural pain-blocking mechanisms

​

3.  Muscle Tension Relief

Restricted joints often cause surrounding muscles to tighten and spasm as they try to protect the area. By restoring normal joint movement, the therapy:

• Allows muscles to relax naturally

• Reduces protective muscle guarding

• Improves blood flow to tense muscle tissue

• Breaks the cycle of pain and muscle tension

​

4.  Inflammation Reduction

The gentle movements help reduce inflammation through:

• Improved circulation that carries away inflammatory substances

• Enhanced lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling

• Stimulation of anti-inflammatory responses in your body

• Reduced mechanical irritation of inflamed tissues

​

5.  Enhanced Natural Healing

Your body has remarkable healing abilities, and chiropractic manipulative therapy supports this process by:

• Improving blood flow to injured tissues

• Optimizing nutrient delivery to healing areas

• Removing metabolic waste products more efficiently

• Creating an environment where natural healing can occur more effectively
