Our Services
A combination of the most effective techniques, tailored to your condition.
What we offer
Services at our centre
Every session combines 2–3 techniques from the list below, depending on your condition. The therapist determines the optimal approach for each patient based on the initial examination — which is free of charge.
Spinal Decompression
Non-invasive technique that reduces pressure on spinal discs and nerve roots. Effective for disc herniation, degenerative changes, and sciatica.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is a non-invasive therapeutic technique that creates negative pressure within the intervertebral disc. This achieves:
- Retraction of herniated disc material — the nucleus pulposus is drawn back into place
- Improved circulation — oxygen and nutrients reach the disc more effectively
- Reduced pressure on nerve roots — relief from pain and symptoms
- Disc hydration — restoration of disc height
Indications
- Disc herniation (protrusion and extrusion)
- Degenerative disc disease
- Sciatica (lumbar radiculopathy)
- Cervical radiculopathy (tingling in arms)
- Facet syndrome
What does the treatment look like?
The patient lies on a specialized table that rhythmically and controllably stretches the spine. The treatment lasts 30–45 minutes and is completely painless. A series of 15–20 treatments is recommended for optimal results.
Manual Manipulation
A specific technique using a rapid, controlled thrust on spinal and peripheral joints to release blockages and restore normal mobility.
Manual Manipulation
Manual manipulation (HVLA — High Velocity Low Amplitude technique) is one of the most powerful techniques in manual therapy. The therapist applies a fast, precisely directed thrust to a joint with restricted mobility.
Effects of manipulation
- Mechanical release — removal of joint blockage
- Neurological effect — pain inhibition through the Gate Control mechanism
- Muscle relaxation — reflex reduction of muscle spasms
- Improved mobility — immediate increase in range of motion
The characteristic “cracking” sound (cavitation) that accompanies manipulation is the result of a sudden release of gas from the synovial fluid — a completely benign and harmless phenomenon.
Applications
- Acute and chronic back pain
- Neck pain and cervical vertebral blockages
- Thoracic spine pain
- Sacroiliac joint blockages
- Limb pain (knee, elbow, wrist)
Safety
Manipulation is a safe technique when performed by a trained therapist who has first ruled out contraindications (osteoporosis, fractures, tumors, arterial pathology, etc.).
Manual Mobilization
Slow, rhythmic joint and soft tissue movement techniques that gradually increase range of motion and reduce pain without sudden thrusts.
Manual Mobilization
Manual mobilization is a technique in which the therapist applies slow, rhythmic oscillations or sustained pressure to a joint — unlike manipulation, without sudden movements. It is particularly suitable for patients who are uncomfortable with manipulation or when mild contraindications are present.
Principles of mobilization
The Maitland grading system (I–IV) is used:
- Grade I–II: Gentle oscillations for pain relief (neurological effect)
- Grade III–IV: Larger amplitudes to improve range of motion
Advantages of mobilization
- Painless or minimally painful technique
- Ideal for elderly patients and patients with osteoporosis
- Gradually increases mobility without stressing the tissue
- Combines excellently with therapeutic exercises
Soft tissue techniques
Alongside joint mobilization, we also apply soft tissue mobilization:
- Myofascial release — fascial stretching technique
- Trigger point therapy — manual pressure on painful points
- Transverse friction — Cyriax technique for tendon injuries
Indications
- Osteoarthritis of all joints
- Post-operative rehabilitation
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Chronic spinal pain
- Pediatric and geriatric patients
Dry Needling
A technique using thin needles inserted into muscle trigger points to reduce pain, release muscle knots, and improve mobility.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a minimally invasive technique in which a thin, sterile needle is inserted directly into a trigger point — a hyperactive pain point within a muscle. The “dry” needle introduces no medication — the effect is purely mechanical and neurological.
How does it work?
- The needle is inserted into the trigger point
- A local “twitch response” occurs
- The muscle fibers deactivate and relax
- Local circulation and metabolism improve
- Pain is reduced and mobility improves
Conditions we treat
- Neck, shoulder, and back pain
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Hip pain and piriformis syndrome
- IT band syndrome
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Plantar fasciitis
- Cervicogenic headache
- Temporomandibular disorders
What to expect?
Mild muscle soreness for 24–48 hours after treatment is normal (similar to after intense exercise). Pain typically decreases significantly after just 1–3 treatments.
Safety
We use exclusively sterile, single-use needles. The technique is safe when performed by a trained therapist. Contraindications (fear of needles, clotting disorders, local infection) are checked before every treatment.
