Visceral Manipulation is a treatment option that deals with how the structures in our body interact. Organs, muscles, ligaments, etc. are all packaged in fascia. This fascia allows for things to glide and slide on each other. Strains in the connective tissues of this system can result from surgical scars, adhesions, illness, posture, or injury. These strains can cause the body to have to compensate in its movements, resulting in functional or structural problems that can be far from the site of restriction.

Visceral manipulation is a very gentle technique that can have wide-ranging effects on the body. It works by encouraging your own natural mechanisms to improve movement at the connective tissue attachments of the fascia surrounding the organs and dissipate the negative effects of stress. It is especially helpful in those suffering from trauma, postural strain, and chronic stress or pain. Dr. Jessica and Dr. Shandi have taken training in this modality.

Please be aware that we do not have a manual osteopath on staff at this time and so visceral treatment at our clinic is from the lens and scope of a typical chiropractic visit. We will update this page if that changes.
