Can you explain what exactly is done with spine manipulation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Moving bones: Similar to popping your knuckles, spinal manipulation involves moving the bones to re-align them to a normal architecture. It helps to relieve pressure on nerves, tension on muscles, and can help relieve pain. Restoration of normal curvature and function is the goal.
