Our Treatment Philosophy
Our treatment philosophy is based on the pelvis, the base of the spine. We believe the pelvis is the foundation of the body. This foundation must be level for the head and neck to sit properly and for the legs to hit the ground evenly. When a client comes to us with “low back pain”, we begin by assessing the pelvis for symmetry. If the pelvis is rotated or if the trunk is shortened on one side, the surrounding soft tissues will attempt to stabilize the system. This may lead to muscle spasms, pain, or tension of the nerves and the discs which sit atop the pelvis. Additionally, the spine may rotate and side bend in response to the un-level base below. Consequently, the head which sits atop the spine will be un-level. Our bodies are smart. If our spine is rotated, we naturally adjust our head to have our eyes level. This may lead to issues of muscle spasms, muscle tension, TMJ/jaw disorders and headaches. So, for a person who comes to NTPT complaining of TMJ, headache or neck pain, our treatment starts at the pelvis. Like a house if the foundation is not level, the roof will crack and the windows won’t easily slide open or close. Therefore, it only makes sense to balance the pelvis, which is the foundation of the body. Self empowerment Get well Stay Well Address the Symptoms, look elsewhere for the Cause |
