Adverse Neural Tension Treatment

Relieve Nerve Pain at the Source with Adverse Neural Tension Treatment in The Great Lakes Bay Region

If you’re dealing with radiating pain, numbness, or tingling that won’t go away, the issue may not be in your muscles or joints—but in your nerves. At Body Mechanics Rehab & Wellness LLC in The Great Lakes Bay Region, we use Adverse Neural Tension Testing & Treatment (ANTT) to identify and release nerve restrictions that contribute to pain and dysfunction.

Nerves need to glide and stretch freely as you move. When they’re compressed or restricted by surrounding tissues, it can lead to sharp pain, burning, or a pins-and-needles sensation. ANTT helps restore normal nerve mobility so your entire body can move without irritation or discomfort.

What Is Adverse Neural Tension Testing & Treatment?

ANTT is a diagnostic and therapeutic approach used to assess and treat mechanical restrictions along the nervous system. It identifies areas where nerves are being compressed, irritated, or tethered—and uses gentle, targeted techniques to restore their natural movement.

At Body Mechanics Rehab & Wellness LLC, we use ANTT to guide treatment for conditions that involve nerve entrapment or poor neural mobility, addressing the problem at its root rather than masking symptoms.

Who Can Benefit from ANTT in The Great Lakes Bay Region?

This treatment is especially effective for those experiencing:

• Sciatica or nerve-related low back and leg pain
• Carpal tunnel syndrome or hand numbness
• Cervical radiculopathy (neck-related arm pain)
• Thoracic outlet syndrome
• Numbness, tingling, or burning in limbs
• Nerve tension after surgery, trauma, or repetitive strain

If your symptoms follow a nerve path or change with specific movements, ANTT may provide the clarity and relief you’ve been looking for.

How ANTT Works

Our therapists begin with gentle, controlled testing to evaluate nerve mobility, identify areas of restriction, and determine which nerves are contributing to your symptoms. Treatment may include:

Neural gliding exercises – improve the nerve’s ability to slide and move freely

Tensioner techniques – restore elasticity and mobility in irritated nerves

Manual therapy – to release soft tissue or joint restrictions impacting the nerve

Postural correction – to reduce nerve compression from poor alignment

Patient education – to avoid aggravating movements and promote healing

Each plan is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring a safe and effective path to recovery.

The Risks of Delaying Treatment

Nerve dysfunction doesn’t just go away with time. Without treatment, you may experience:

• Worsening numbness, tingling, or burning sensations
• Chronic nerve inflammation or compression
• Reduced coordination and muscle strength
• Permanent nerve damage in severe cases
• Increased risk of falls or functional limitations

Early testing and intervention with ANTT can stop these complications before they start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ANTT painful?
Testing is performed gently and within your comfort range. Treatments are designed to be therapeutic, not aggravating.

How is this different from regular physical therapy?
ANTT focuses specifically on the health and mobility of the nervous system, rather than just muscles and joints. It addresses pain at a deeper, more systemic level.

Will I need special equipment at home?
No. Most nerve gliding exercises and postural corrections can be done with minimal or no equipment, making it easy to continue care outside the clinic.
