Manual medicine (chiropractic treatment) is one of the oldest therapeutic approaches for treating musculoskeletal disorders. The physician’s primary “tools” are their hands (Latin: manus = hand), which are used in a targeted manner to release tension and resolve functional blockages.
In cases of restricted joint mobility or blocked vertebrae, the physician manually and gently restores proper alignment. The procedure is performed professionally and without excessive force, aiming both to relieve pain and to address the underlying cause of the dysfunction.
The costs of manual medicine treatment are generally covered by health insurance.
