MIDLINE has been very effective in working with many overuse injuries and chronic pain syndromes. Medical massage, in supporting Orthopedic Treatment has been successful when the pain/dysfunction has a substantial muscular or scar tissue component. As is readily apparent, muscle and joint dysfunction are intertwined. Often, muscle contracture and trigger points need to be addressed so that effective treatment of joint stress and of the underlying postural and structural imbalances can proceed effectively. This is where MIDLINE can complement medical or chiropractic treatment and physical therapy, especially if progress has plateaued below the fully functional level. When there is clear nerve involvement, there is generally muscular contracture which responds to deep tissue work, making the patient more comfortable and more able to progress in strengthening and stretching regimens.
