Muscle Work
Nerve pressure can happen at the spine interrupting proper function, and it can also happen as the nerve communicates with muscles far away from the spine. Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) can improve nerve function with muscles quickly and can often be seen during the visit. When people struggle with pain, effective muscle work may be the missing piece of the puzzle.
The nerve needs to work properly as it leaves the spine, (the adjustment). In addition, it also needs to communicate on the other end as it arrives at the muscle (MAT). We address the body’s ability to function both centrally (chiropractic) and peripherally (MAT).
MAT is outstanding for pain relief. In addition, it is also good for flexibility, stability, and strength. This is especially true for athletes looking for accelerated injury recovery. We also use this analysis to recommend personalized exercises.
