About Dorn Spinal Therapy

​

Dorn Spinal therapy is a gentle spinal and joint treatment to work with back problems, joint problems, organ problems and headaches caused by wrongly placed vertebrae or different leg lengths. It is a non manipulative treatment as joints and vertebra slip back to their right and natural position through self determined movements of the patients. With the alignment of just a single vertebra and the balancing of leg lengths the patient will get relief from back, neck, or headache pain and related discomforts.

​

How does Dorn Spinal Therapy work? 

​

It is a gentle, simple, effective, and harmless treatment. There have been no injuries to the spine in treatments history (30 years in Germany). Movement is a fundamental element in the treatment, all corrections happen in dynamics. The patient is swinging either their leg, arms, or moving their head, depending on the area the therapist is working on. The movement distracts the muscles so they can’t resist the correction.  This specialty makes the treatment a gentle therapy.  By aligning the structural body, muscle tension is released as well as muscles are moved to their correct, relaxed position. 

​

For Example: an upper or lower trapezius can be relieved by aligning the upper and lower cervical spine. Lower back pain or sciatica can be relieved by balancing different leg lengths. The treatment starts the body’s own healing process, so it is not about the practitioner fixing the problem, but the body starting to work with the new information set through the treatment.
