Dynamic Spine Health Through Movement

McKenzie Method

The McKenzie method, also known as Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) is a classification and treatment protocol for problems of the spine. It helps to treat conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, herniated discs, radiating leg pain, arm pain/numbness, and sciatica. One of the key components of this method is patient education. This method utilizes education to train the patient on proper posture and ergonomics and provides the patient with exercises to treat their own pain. It is directed toward patient self-treatment methods, therefore making the patient less reliant on the doctor for relief of their symptoms. For more information visit www.mckenziemdt.org
