New treatment methods are being incorporated into chiropractic care. These methods include muscular relaxation techniques which have their origins in physical medicine and osteopathic approaches developed in the late 1940s. They involve active participation by the patient and are, therefore, ideal introductions into self-care and rehabilitation. These active muscular relaxation techniques are complimentary to chiropractic adjustments. This article describes three different methods used to relax hypertonic musculature. The different types of muscle hypertonicity are described. These active procedures are compared to other passive methods such as spray and stretch and massage.
新的治疗方法正在被纳入整脊治疗中。这些方法包括源于物理医学的肌肉放松技术以及20世纪40年代末发展起来的整骨疗法。它们需要患者积极参与，因此是自我护理和康复的理想入门方法。这些主动肌肉放松技术是对整脊调整的补充。本文介绍了三种用于放松高张力肌肉组织的不同方法。描述了不同类型的肌肉高张力。将这些主动方法与其他被动方法如喷雾拉伸和按摩进行了比较。
