ABOUT THE DEMKO METHOD
Dr. Jeff Demko has applied his extensive studies in biomechanics and rehabilitation to move beyond traditional chiropractic manipulation and develop a method of resolving mechanical joint and muscle pain with no manipulation or extensive exercise.
Dr. Demko’s method evaluates muscle function in different planes of motion considering all synergistic and antagonistic muscle groups. Muscle function can be returned to normal by stimulation of proprioceptive mechanisms. Once normal muscle function has been regained, a brief stretching/strengthening regiment is utilized.
The method consistently shows greater than 75% percent success rate in spinal and joint function in an average of six to ten visits, with no manipulation. It is particularly useful for patients who have chronic pain of unknown etiology, and failed physical therapy response
Patients are more involved in their treatment than conventional methods, which improves the speed and completion of the corrective timeframe. The technique is based on a combination of anatomy and physics. The evaluation of muscle, its innervation and relationships with other muscles based on muscular and neuro-anatomy, the physics of lever arm mechanics and the transfer of forces in various planes of motion are involved. Small, incremental movements create a neurological connection between the central nervous system and the muscle. Patients are given simple, quick exercises to perform that maintain the corrective action. As a result, patients receive true resolution to their issues.
Dr. Demko’s practice method has proven beneficial to both the patients and their medical practitioners. He works with patients referred by local family physicians, pain management specialists, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, gynecologists and physical therapists.
