About the Treatment Method
Spinal Manipulation and Safety
It is extremely safe when done by university-educated, licensed chiropractors or doctors who know anatomy very well; with the correct diagnosis, appropriate pressure, speed, and angles. The "crack" sound heard is not the breaking or rubbing of bones, but the release of gas bubbles in the compressed joint space, and it creates instant relief.
It gives highly successful results in acute and mechanical low back and neck pain, posture (postural) disorders, tension and neck-related headaches, sciatic pain, and mild hernia beginnings that do not require surgery, by relieving the pressure of the spine on the nerves.
Massage therapists only aim to increase blood circulation and provide temporary relaxation by rubbing muscles and soft tissues. A chiropractor, on the other hand, focuses on the skeletal system rather than the muscles; they perform a medical intervention that corrects the communication of the nervous system by opening locked joints and slipped vertebrae with high-speed, short-pressure techniques.
