Spinal Manipulation (High-Velocity, Low-Amplitude Technique)

---

Spinal manipulation is a precise manual therapy technique used to address restricted spinal joints and relieve associated discomfort. When a joint becomes limited in its normal movement, the surrounding tissues can become irritated, leading to back pain, neck pain, or reduced mobility.

During manipulation, the practitioner places the joint at a point of tension and delivers a quick, controlled movement. This often results in an audible release and a rapid improvement in joint motion. Although the technique is quick, it is performed with accuracy and respect for the patient’s comfort, making it a safe and effective option for many people experiencing mechanical spinal pain.

Spinal manipulation can restore joint mobility, reduce local inflammation, and help rebalance muscular patterns. It is commonly used for conditions such as facet joint restrictions, acute low back pain, neck stiffness, and general spinal tightness brought on by stress or poor posture.
