McKenzie Method (MDT)

Precision in Diagnosis, Personalization in Treatment

At M3 Chiropractic & Sports Medicine, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the most effective, evidence-based treatment options available. Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), also known as the McKenzie Method, is a globally recognized method for diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those affecting the spine and extremities. Our skilled practitioners use MDT to deliver targeted, personalized treatment plans that address the root cause of your pain and discomfort.

When I first came to see Dr. Drew, I could hardly turn my head and was in a lot of pain. He listened to my concerns and was very thorough with his treatment plan. I am no longer in pain and can turn my head in any direction.

What is the McKenzie Method (MDT)?

What is Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT)?
MDT is a comprehensive approach that combines thorough assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for back, neck, and limb problems. Developed by physiotherapist Robin McKenzie in the 1950s, MDT focuses on the patient’s “mechanical” movement and behavior to understand the underlying cause of pain. This method emphasizes active patient involvement and education, empowering individuals to take an active role in their recovery.
