Osteopathic manual treatment increases joint mobility by producing a concentrated stream of impulses in the muscle and its components which relaxes them on a neurological level. Patients with lower back pain have an altered input from the muscles and its components.
Osteopathic manual treatment opens the space between two spinal vertebrae. This increases mobility by reducing pressure in the spine. This also improves function in muscles, nerves, arteries, veins and other structures which connect one part of the body to another.
Injuries can disturb and irritate nerve circuits in the spine. Osteopathic manual treatment works by applying safe and unobjectionable mechanical signals to these circuits which can reduce chronic pain and increase your tolerance to pain.
