What is Chiropractic Manipulation?
Chiropractic manipulation, or hands-on spinal manipulation, involves the application of pressure to a patient’s spine or other body parts by a chiropractor. Using this pressure, a chiropractor adjusts and corrects the alignment of the body’s musculoskeletal structure.
Patients with musculoskeletal problems may also consider physical therapy and exercise therapy. Chiropractic manipulation is rooted in the philosophy that proper alignment of a body’s musculoskeletal structure, especially the spine, will allow the body to heal itself without the use of any surgery or medication.
Chiropractic manipulation helps to reduce pain and improve the way a person moves. Manipulation also helps restore mobility to joints affected by tissue injury.
