What is Spinal Manipulation?
Spinal manipulation is using a specific force in precise direction, applied to a joint that is fixated, ‘locked up’ or not moving properly. A spinal manipulation adds motion to the joint, helping the bones gradually return to a normal position and motion. The purpose of this safe and natural procedure is improved spinal function, improved nervous system function, and improved health. There are hundreds of ways to manipulate the spine. Usually the doctor’s hands or a specialty designed instrument delivers a brief and highly accurate thrust. Some adjusting methods are quick, whereas others require a slow constant pressure.
