SPINAL MANIPULATION at Montrose Physiotherapy & Massage in Abbotsford
Sometimes things just don’t line up right. You might even describe it as your back or neck “is out.” When that happens, spinal manipulation can be an effective treatment for several issues as part of your comprehensive rehabilitative or preventative treatment plan.
Physiotherapists use many different techniques for spinal manipulation. Three of the primary techniques involve:
- Sudden, controlled force on a joint. This often causes the (harmless) “popping” or “cracking” sound.
- Less sudden movements to stretch and gently manipulate muscles, joints, and ligaments.
Spinal manipulation is used as part of the treatment for:
- Headaches
- Back pain
- Shoulder pain
- Chronic migraines
- Chronic pain
- Back pain
- Neck pain
With spinal manipulation therapy, patients benefit with:
- Increased range of motion and more flexibility.
- Less pain without pharmaceutical medications.
- Non-invasive treatments that often help avoid surgery.
The physiotherapists at Montrose Physiotherapy & Massage in Abbotsford are highly qualified and trained to perform spinal manipulations. They will assess your condition and determine if spinal manipulation would benefit you. If so, they will explain the procedure before they begin.
Does Spinal Manipulation Hurt?
There is little to no pain in spinal manipulation adjustments. You may feel or hear pops and cracks, but you shouldn’t feel any intense pain. Any pain is generally associated with your condition itself, so if you aren’t in pain beforehand, you won’t likely have any discomfort afterward. Sometimes you may find some mild soreness or minor aches after spinal manipulation as your muscles readjust to the new position of your spine.
