Who Will Benefit?
Patients with any musculoskeletal or somatic complaint will potentially benefit from manual medicine. The most common problems treated are back and neck pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, sacroiliac pain, thoracic outlet syndrome, and headaches related to trauma or tension.
Benefits are more varied for patients with chronic pain syndromes such as fibromyalgia, chronic headaches, back, or neck pain, possibly due to the psychosomatic component of these illnesses.
