Spinal manipulation is a key technique in chiropractic care, used to address musculoskeletal issues, especially those linked to the spine. This hands-on approach, also called spinal adjustment, involves chiropractors applying a controlled force to specific spinal joints using their hands or special instruments.
By correcting misalignments, spinal manipulation aims to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve overall function, supporting better health and well-being.

Yes, when performed by a trained and licensed chiropractor, spinal manipulation is generally safe and effective. Chiropractors undergo extensive education and training to ensure safe practice and minimize risks. They also evaluate each patient’s health history and condition to determine the suitability of spinal manipulation.
While rare, some patients may experience mild side effects such as temporary soreness, stiffness, or discomfort after spinal manipulation. These effects typically resolve within 24-48 hours. Serious complications are extremely rare when performed by a qualified chiropractor.
Spinal manipulation is usually painless or may cause mild discomfort during the procedure. Patients often experience relief from pain and improved mobility shortly after treatment.
Spinal manipulation works by applying controlled force to specific vertebrae or joints of the spine that are misaligned or restricted in movement. This helps restore proper alignment, reduce inflammation around the joint, improve nerve function, and promote natural healing.
Spinal manipulation is generally safe for most people, but it may not be suitable for everyone. Chiropractors perform thorough assessments to ensure the technique is appropriate for each patient. Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as severe osteoporosis, spinal instability, or recent spinal surgery, may need alternative treatments or modifications.
