When you overload a muscle or push it too much to the point it cannot perform anymore, it usually tears or inhibits neurologically. It needs time and therapy to help it heal when it tears. But if it inhibits neurologically, it causes constant pain and imbalances. Until two decades ago, athletes had to deal with these imbalances and pain independently. At this time, Dr. Craig Buhler, a renowned chiropractor, developed AMIT.

AMIT is a revolutionary therapy in sports medicine that helps athletes reintegrate inhibited muscles. AMIT not only restores muscular function but also helps improve performance. 

So, what is AMIT? What does it treat? How does it improve performance? Read on to learn more.

What Is AMIT?

AMIT stands for Advanced Muscle Integration Technique. It is popular with highly active people who experience muscle and joint conditions. Because of the fantastic results from the systematic treatment, it has made its way to the mainstream. 

Dr. Craig Buhler and his team discovered the leading cause of joint and muscle pains. They understood that it was neurological inhibition of the specific muscle groups. Despite the pain fading over time, the imbalances never corrected themselves. AMIT helps restore the neurological networks of the body to restore balance and eliminate pain.

What Does AMIT Treat?

Some of the injury areas that can usually experience inhibition and imbalance and can benefit from AMIT are:

 

• Ankle sprains
   

• Neck and cervical spine injuries
   

• Back and spinal injuries
   

• Hip pain

AMIT also helps in situations like:

 

• Limited joint range
   

• Chronic muscle pain
   

• Chronic muscle tightness
   

• Poor performance

How Does AMIT Improve Performance?

Identifying Inhibited Muscles

The first way AMIT helps is by helping the practitioner identify inhibited muscles. In an exam, practitioners—usually chiropractors—test about 300 muscles in the body. They typically focus on muscles that fire unnaturally and incorrectly. From the data they collect, they can define unstable body parts and places of possible future injury.


 

Pain Reduction

As mentioned earlier, AMIT helps eliminate chronic muscle pain from overuse and overexertion. Many athletes push through the pain to perform, which means they are not at their best. By eliminating any hidden pains, athletes can perform much better.

They can also know which muscles have had previous injuries and how they affect you. A full breakdown of your muscle and joint health helps them create a treatment plan.


 

Reactivation of Muscles and Joints

Chiropractors use osteopathy, physical therapy, acupuncture, and nutrition knowledge to start muscle, joint, and nerve reactivation. The treatment plan they design will help reactivate your inhibited muscles and joints. They restore functionality and balance throughout the treatment and help you heal from injuries much faster. 


 

Range of Motion

The reactivation process returns your movement and range. Your range of motion after an AMIT treatment will increase significantly. You can push your body to the limit and not incur injuries as you would have before. Improved range of motion means you prevent future injuries. 

Improvement and Enhancement

After the treatment, you will notice that your body can move much more fluidly and fast. Most people report seeing results from the first day of treatment. The restored nerve function improves your strength in the affected muscles. Top athletes and active people have proven the technique works for the past two decades.
