Neural mobilization helps a very important system of the human body…the nervous system. This complex, sophisticated system comprises of a network of nerves that carries messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to regulate the body.
This nervous system is a continuous structure that slides and moves as we move too. Any reason, such as a spinal bulging disk; swollen joints; muscle spasm; and swollen compartments, that interrupts the normal movement of the neural tissue will cause pain, decrease blood supply in the nerve and displace the protection cover of the nerve, the myelin sheath.
Neural mobilization techniques help bring back mobility to the neural tissue by utilizing a gentle flossing-like technique. It aims to free up a specific compromised nerve by its surrounding structures.
Neural mobilization techniques are completely painless and are applied by a Manual Physical Therapist with a specialty to treat such problems.
Common syndromes benefited by neural mobilization physical therapy:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Tennis elbow
- Nerve root disorders
- Spinal pain
- Plantar fasciitis
