Spinal Manipulation
An excellent way to keep the body functioning at its highest level
Gentle spinal pressure or a quick thrust to restore normal motion to joints.
Spinal manipulation, also called spinal adjustment, is a treatment that uses pressure on a joint of the spine. It is used to improve pain and function. Manipulation can be done with the hands or a special device. The careful, controlled force used on the joint can range from gentle to strong, and from slow to rapid. Sometimes other joints of the body are also worked on to help treat the spine.
While Spinal Manipulation is safe, like most back pain treatments, spinal manipulation works for some people, but not for others. After your treatment you may feel tired and week. We encourage all patients to rest and not to perform strenuous movements or any sports activities for at least a day after treatment.
If you have tight muscles or muscles that spasm, our therapists may first use heat, ultrasound, or electrical current. This helps relax your muscles before you receive spinal manipulation.
