Manual Medicine that Dr. Ertha Does Do
Misalignment of spine and extremities can often occur because of spasms and/or contractions of muscle, tendon, ligament, or fascial tissue pulling the affected part out of its normal position. Relaxation of these tissues can be achieved by gentle, effective treatments that may or may not require the active cooperation of the patient. The techniques that Dr. Ertha uses are:

  • Balanced Ligamentous Techniques
  • Craniosacral therapy
  • Facilitaed Positional Release
  • Integrated Neurmusculoskeletal Techniques
  • Lymphatic  Pumping
  • Matrix Repatterning
  • Muscle Energy
  • Myofascial Release
  • Sinus Drainage Techniques
  • Strain/Counterstrain
  • Visceral Manipulation.

Each of these will be described in a section of its own.
