A Chiropractic Manipulation is the controlled movement of a joint, by a licensed Chiropractic Physician, that allows a restricted joint to move with greater ease. This specialized technique is used by Chiropractic Physicians at Spinal Rehab and Wellness Center to mobilize the restricted joint and reduce pain by relieving irritation on the nerve. Blood flow to the surrounding area is improved allowing a greater rate of healing. The cavitation or popping sound you might hear during a manipulation is the exchange of gas from the fluid joint, similar to opening a bottle of soda.
 

The benefits of a Chiropractic Manipulation are: the return of normal movement to the joint allowing the body to move with less effort; lower pain level due to relief of the irritation on nerves; a calming sensation and the relaxation of muscles surrounding the manipulated joint. A Chiropractic Manipulation restores balance to the musculoskeletal system and allows the body to heal itself naturally at a faster rate.
