What Is It?

Spinal manipulation, is a manual treatment approach to treat musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those that impact the spine. During spinal manipulation, DR. LA uses his hands to provide a controlled, high velocity low amplitude to a particular joint in the spine. The force is meant to increase joint mobility within spinal segments. Gas bubbles released from the joint during the procedure are what cause the “popping” or “cracking” sound that is frequently heard. The goal of spinal/joint manipulation is to restore normal joint function and mobility while reducing pain and inflammation within spinal segments to allow for increased nerve function. Back pain, neck discomfort, and headaches are among the conditions that are frequently treated using spinal manipulation.

It's crucial to remember that not everyone should undergo spinal manipulation. Those who have specific medical disorders, such as osteoporosis, spinal cord compression, or inflammatory arthritis, may not be a good candidate for spinal manipulation.
