Spinal Manipulation Therapy in NYC

If you’ve been prescribed physical therapy with spinal and joints manipulation, you might be wondering why you’re not being sent to a chiropractor. At our clinic, we have access to chiropractors in our facility and you can be seen by one if that’s what you’d like (is this true?), but it’s not necessary if your prescription is for physical therapy manipulations and not chiropractic ones. There is a difference, and we’ll explain that further below.

For now, let’s look at what joint and spinal manipulation therapy are in the context of a physical therapy treatment plan. Overall, these are hands-on therapeutic techniques used to treat back pain, neck pain, and other musculoskeletal conditions throughout the body. Be assured, that spinal manipulation performed by a trained physical therapist is effective and safe.

Physical Therapy Spinal Manipulation & Joint Manipulation
Many people think of this as a “pop” but there may or may not be a sound associated with the small, rapid force applied to the joint. For many, the manipulation is a bit sudden and surprising but not painful. To get the best results, physical therapists take it a step further and pair the manipulation with manual therapy treatments to reinforce the manipulation, reduce pain and stiffness, and open the possibility of pain-free exercise. If the patient is feeling significant relief, then gentle exercise will also be introduced to enhance the treatment.
