Spinal manipulation is a therapeutic technique used primarily by chiropractors, osteopaths, and some physical therapists to treat musculoskeletal pain, particularly in the spine. This hands-on treatment aims to improve spinal function, reduce pain, and enhance mobility. It is commonly associated with the practice of chiropractic care, but it can also be part of a broader physical therapy regimen.
Spinal manipulation involves applying controlled force to a specific joint in the spine. The goal is to restore normal movement and function, alleviate pain, and promote overall health.
The precise mechanism by which spinal manipulation works is not fully understood. However, it is believed to involve:
Improved Joint Function: By restoring proper alignment and movement to the spinal joints, manipulation may enhance function and decrease stiffness.
Pain Relief: Manipulation can stimulate the release of endorphins and other neurotransmitters that help reduce pain perception.
Neurological Effects: Spinal manipulation may influence the nervous system, altering pain signals and improving overall neurological function.
