What is Spinal Manipulation Physio?
Spinal manipulation is a regulated, hands-on technique used by licensed chiropractors and physiotherapists to support the health of the spine, joints, and nervous system. It involves the application of controlled, precise movements — sometimes called a spinal adjustment or manual spinal therapy — with the aim of restoring normal joint motion where restrictions are present.
This approach is often integrated into broader musculoskeletal care and may be recommended after a detailed health history and physical assessment. Practitioners always ensure spinal manipulation is appropriate and safe before beginning treatment.

What to Expect

Frequently Asked Questions about Spinal Manipulation Physiotherapy

It is sometimes called a chiropractic spinal adjustment or manual spinal therapy. Practitioners apply controlled movements to the spine or joints to help support mobility and comfort. Results may vary.
