SPINAL MANIPULATIVE THERAPY

One of the most frequent treatments a chiropractor uses is manual manipulation of the vertebrae of your spine or other joints, which is called an ‘adjustment.’ To perform an adjustment, your chiropractor will use their hands to apply controlled force to your joint and guide it through a range of motion. This action restores your joint’s natural movement and improves its function.

When applied to your spine, this treatment is called spinal manipulative therapy (SMT). Manipulation is also used on other joints, such as those in your wrist, ankle or foot, as an effective treatment.

INSTRUMENT BASED ADJUSTMENT

Instrument based adjustment is gentle and reproduces what the hands were intended to do with much more specificity and less force. This is an alternative method of adjusting which does not involve any cracking of joints.
