Naturopathic Manipulative Therapy (NMT), a form of physical medicine, incorporates the art of massage, touch, physical therapy, applied kinesiology and spinal manipulation. Naturopathic Spinal Manipulative Therapy is similar to Chiropractic Therapy. Through spinal manipulation, your naturopathic doctor alleviates problems caused by the misalignment of the vertebrae. Treatment with NMT produces a physical ‘release’ which can encourage metabolic function, stimulate vital energies, restore range of motion and postural balance as well as relieve pain through positive effects of the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems.
