Spinal manipulation is a technique used by chiropractors that involves applying controlled force to the spine joints. The practitioner uses their hands or specialized instruments to apply precise pressure to specific vertebral segments, often resulting in an audible “pop” or “crack” sound from the joint, without causing pain. This manual therapy aims to improve spinal motion and physical function of the entire body by addressing joint restrictions or misalignments. Spinal manipulation is one of the oldest healing practices in human history, dating back thousands of years across various cultures. The technique has evolved significantly, incorporating modern scientific understanding of biomechanics and neurophysiology with traditional approaches.
Dr. Suzi utilizes the following manipulative techniques:
Complete recovery varies by condition, with some patients experiencing full relief after one session, while others with chronic conditions may require several treatments over weeks to achieve optimal results. Hydration and gentle stretching often support the recovery process, helping to maintain the mobility gained through the manipulation. Dr. Suzi provides specific post-treatment instructions that include home exercises designed to complement and extend the benefits of the in-office procedure.
