Spinal manipulation is a skilled technique where a licensed physical therapists applies a specifically directed thrust near the end of the physiological range of motion. This is often accompanied by an audible ‘crack’ called a cavitation. Spinal manipulation is an intervention that physical therapists have been employing since the beginning of physical therapy practice.
Spinal manipulation has been proven to relieve back pain and headaches by taking pressure off sensitive nerves or tissue, increase range of motion, restoring blood flow, reducing muscle tension, and promote the release of endorphins within the body to act as natural painkillers.
