What Can Spinal Manipulation Do For Me?

 

When it comes to chiropractic care, one popular treatment technique that can provide patients with instant pain relief is spinal manipulation. Chiropractic adjustments” and “spinal manipulation therapy” are alternative names for spinal manipulation. This procedure is a safe and effective option for alleviating pain for a wide range of different injuries and conditions. Chiropractors and physical therapists are the primary doctors who perform spinal manipulations. Spinal manipulations are just one of the many different services that our chiropractor near Mt. Sinai, NY can use to treat your pain and to help your back return to normal.

During spinal manipulation, our chiropractor will use their hands to administer sudden but controlled bursts of force to any affected joints in your spine. This force ends up releasing the buildup of gas within the joint, which will produce a popping sound. This popping sound is called cavitation, but most people refer to it as “cracking” your spine. Releasing the gas bubbles from the joints relieves pressure on the spine and produces a soothing sensation.

You should avoid spinal manipulation if you have any of the following:

  • Increased risk of stroke
  • Extreme osteoporosis
  • Spinal cancer
  • Spinal Instability

The benefits of spinal manipulation include the following:

  • Alternative to drugs: Spinal manipulation is a fantastic alternative to using pain medication to alleviate discomfort. This is because many pain medications run the risk of causing adverse side effects and even addiction. With spinal manipulation, pain relief is created naturally with few risks involved.
  • Quick and Natural pain relief: The primary benefit of spinal manipulation is pain relief. Spinal manipulation can naturally relieve pain affecting the lower back, neck, and head. Most patients will experience pain relief in the period immediately following the procedure.
  • Increases range of motion: Another benefit of spinal manipulation is its ability to increase the body’s flexibility and range of motion. When combined with exercise, spinal manipulation can strengthen your muscles and help with movement.
