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 relation to other muscles since no muscle ever works alone.  Muscle function can be returned to normal by stimulation of nerve impulses which we achieve with small movement patterns.  Once normal function has been regained, a brief stretching/strengthening regiment is used to calm the compensatory muscles (usually the pain producers). 
 

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 muscles.  Patients are given simple, quick exercises to perform that maintain the corrective neuro-muscular action.  

 

As a result, patients receive a true resolution to their pain issues. 

​

The method consistently shows a greater than 85% 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 and/or a failed response to physical therapy.
 

Patients are more involved in their treatment than conventional methods, which improves the speed and completion of the corrective timeframe.

Dr. Demko’s practice method has proven beneficial to both the patients and their medical practitioners.  Dr. Demko and Nurse Practitioner, Robyn work with patients referred by friends and family, local physicians, pain management specialists, and physical therapists.
