What is Spinal Manipulation

​

Spinal manipulation, also known as spinal adjustment, is a manual therapy technique often performed by chiropractors, osteopathic physicians, or physical therapists. 

It involves applying controlled force to specific joints of the spine, usually with the practitioner’s hands or specialized instruments. The goal of spinal manipulation is to improve spinal function, and promote the body’s natural ability to heal itself. 

This treatment is commonly used for conditions like back pain, neck pain, and certain musculoskeletal issues. It aims to restore joint mobility, reduce inflammation, and address issues related to the nervous system.
