Some Movements In Manipulation Under Anesthesia Procedure
1
Gentle axial traction is used in several places in the cervical spine(neck) before manipulation of the vertebral segments.
2
Straight leg raises using progressive linear force allows for gentle stretching of tight hamstring muscles.
3
Single knee/hip stretches single out tightened pelvic muscles that help with return of lower back flexibility.
4
Lower back stretches
help alter accumulated adhesions around the discs, joints, joint
capsules and surrounding soft tissues (muscles).
5
Manipulative therapy
is much easier to perform when adhesions that cause chronic joint
fixations are altered using stretching while the patient is in restful
twilight sleep (conscious sedation).
