Spinal manipulation is a technique where physical therapists apply a controlled thrust, either manually or with a device, to a joint of the spine. The amount of force varies depending on the type of manipulation being used. Our therapists utilize a low amplitude, high-velocity approach.
Spinal manipulation can reduce pain and improve joint mobility. It can be used as a treatment for headaches and other spine-related conditions, such as neck or low back pain. When your neck and back joints start moving better, you start feeling better.
