Spinal manipulation, also known as spinal adjustment, is a therapeutic technique that involves the application of controlled force to specific joints of the spine. Typically, with the aim of restoring mobility, relieving pain, and improving overall function.
During a spinal manipulation, the practitioner uses their hands or sometimes specialized instruments to apply a sudden, controlled force to a joint in the spine. The force may be a quick thrust, a slow, sustained pressure, or a combination of both. The manipulation is usually accompanied by a popping or cracking sound, which is caused by the release of gas bubbles from the joint.
