WHAT ARE SPINAL MANIPULATIONS?

Chiropractic and Osteopathic care are hands on therapy utilizing manipulation to treat disorders of the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. Manipulations are performed by using high-velocity, short lever arm thrusts to mobilize an otherwise immobile joint. Mobilization increases movement and stretching of the muscles and joints providing almost immediate relief and comfort.

This non-surgical treatment has been shown to be effective in treating low back, neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle pain, as well as, headaches and whiplash injuries. The goal is to decrease pain, increase range of motion, and aid in restoration. Manipulations also promote the body’s innate healing properties by drawing in natural restorative fluids to the affected joints.
