Manual Therapy For Thoracic Region by Prof.Mohanty of mtfi.net

This manipulation technique is useful for treatment of mechanical pain at the thoracic region. This opens up the zygapophyseal joints and also releases the periarticular structures. This is also useful as an additional treatment in case of shoulder pain as shoulder pain is also associated with mechanical dysfunction of the thoracic region.

that is hilarious - first of all the patient is too high to be manipulated, secondly the clinician looks up to signal the manipulation noise which sounds like it is coming from someone farting. completely fake

Hi.. Ali here. I m suffering frm Damaged Long Thoracic nerve as I realised by watching videos over this site. So plz help me out coz I have craze of body building but due to this disablity i can't concentrate on my muscles at the left side of my body. They don't get the required/desired tension and stretch... so that results in no muscle growth and the difference is v clear . Thats annoying. Plz help out. Reply or comment back.. Thanks

Whether it has an influence or not depends on the region you want to manipulate. Rotation happens especially in the first 2 cervical vertebrae and in the 5 underlying vertebrae. If you rotate your head to the left or right as far as you can (90 degrees), 45 degrees come from C1 and C2 and the other 45 come from C3 to C7. Rotation barely happens in the underying 12 thoracic vertebrae so it doesn't really matter for a thoracic adjustment

Does it matter if the patient's head is turned rather than facing down (straight) while doing manipulations? From the outside (complete stranger to chiropractic) looking in, would that make it more difficult in realigning the spine? Just curious, thanks!
