Pain Relief & Treatments

Unlike the high velocity low amplitude settings of a spinal manipulation, a spinal or joint mobilization is a gentle, often oscillatory, passive movement applied to a spinal region or joint so as gently to increase the passive range of motion of that segment or region. This treatment is an alternative option to when spinal or joint manipulation is contraindicated in conditions like osteoporosis, spinal or joint fusion, post-surgical recovery, pre-existing spinal damage, severe arthritis and etc

Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation
Dr-Maryam-Performing-Adjustment

Manual spinal manipulations performed by chiropractors target specific inflamed joint capsules of the spine by improving segmental vertebral mobility. Joints can be inflamed due to poor posture, scoliosis, arthritis, sports injuries, pregnancy and etc. A spinal manipulation increases pain tolerance by affecting primary afferent neurons from surrounding spinal tissues, the motor control system and pain processing. It leaves you feeling lighter, more flexible and feeling better. The “popping sound” is medically called “cavitation”. It is harmless and is a result of a gas escaping from an adjusted joint, improving its mobility and reducing its irritation through normalizing the joint capsule’s internal pressure.
