Spinal Manipulation In Ferndale and Detroit

Spinal manipulation can relieve pressure on the joints, reduce inflammation and improve nerve function. This gentle form of manual therapy focuses on improving and optimizing the function of the spine.

Your spine is an important part of your body. It protects your spinal cord, allows you to breathe properly, and allows you to move. Your spine’s health is linked to almost all functions in your body. Spinal manipulation can be used to treat pain even if it seems unrelated.

Spinal Manipulation is also known as High-Velocity Low Amplitude Thrust or Spinal Manipulative Therapy. It has a long and distinguished history. It is primarily used by chiropractors, osteopathic, medical doctors, and physical therapists. A clinician may use a quick impulse or thrust to perform spinal manipulation. Although this may sound harsh, these movements are gentle and should not be considered aggressive. They can often be described as a gentle stretch to create a gap and then cavitation at the target joint. This can also be described as resetting the target joint, similar to hitting the control/alt/delete key on your computer. The sound of joint cavitation can be described as either a popping or crackling sound. Physical therapists use spinal manipulation to achieve clear results.

What is the importance of spinal manipulation?

Your spine is complex. It contains many parts: vertebrae, discs and joints, ligaments, muscles, nerves, tendons, and ligaments. It is therefore necessary to maintain a delicate balance in order for the spine to function at its best. This is why spinal manipulation has become such an important treatment. You know how frustrating it can be to live with pain.

To ensure your spine is in its best health, the following are some things you can do:

  • Good posture and spine curves
  • Strong core and abdominal muscles
  • Strong glutes and spinal muscles
  • Excellent flexibility and balance, with side-bending or rotation

You can get there with our spinal manipulation services. Our team should be contacted immediately if you’re experiencing pain. We will evaluate your condition and determine whether spinal manipulation is the best treatment option.

The client can move on to strengthening exercises much faster and easier after achieving the above-mentioned goals with spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation is not used to maintain pain but as a tool for reducing it quickly. Research has shown that manual therapy and manipulative therapy can be combined with therapeutic exercises to improve patient outcomes. It is also quicker than the activities taken alone.

Common misconception: Chiropractic adjustment is often mistakenly equated with spinal manipulation by physical therapy. The question is: What’s the difference? What is the difference between manual physical therapy and chiropractic? Although the techniques and applications of both professions may be similar, they operate under different treatment models and philosophies.

Spinal manipulation–sometimes called “spinal manipulative therapy”–is utilized by physical therapists here at our practice. Spinal manipulation is performed using either our hands or a device that applies controlled force to a spinal joint. The type of manipulation performed will determine the force that is applied. The treatment’s goal is to reduce pain and improve physical functioning.

Side Effects and Risks

Studies have shown that low back pain can be managed with spinal manipulation by licensed and trained practitioners. Most side effects are minor and include temporary soreness or tiredness.

Inform your doctors about any complementary practices that you may use. You should give them a complete picture of how you manage your health. This will ensure safe and coordinated care.

“I was referred to this Physical Therapy office by my chiropractor. After having back surgery for sciatic pain and months later starting to feel the same symptoms, I wanted to have it checked out so I can continue lifting. Once coming to the office and meeting with Dr. Tony, I knew I was in the right place. He took the time to learn about my symptoms, have me try different exercises and then reassess me. I appreciated the one on one experience (and not being handed off to an assistant like most other PT places). Within a month, I was able to deadlift pain free and continue on my way. I highly recommend Dr Tony and Peak Performance, especially if you are an athlete trying to get back to doing what you love!”

Rob A

“I fell while running and hurt my shoulder. Tony worked with me several months to get about 70% of my mobility back. I had surgery to free up my frozen shoulder from a past injury and work with Tony to get 90% of my range of motion back. Very pleased with the results, their schedule time available and overall professionalism.”
