SCIATICA and NERVE PAIN
What is a SPINAL ADJUSTMENT AND HOW CAN IT HELP YOU?
It is called as well manipulation or thrust, which is a High-Velocity Low-Amplitude (HVLA) manoeuvre, where the clinician performs a fast movement to the target joint to:
– Reduce the pain;
– Restore the normal movement in a joint;
– Reset the information to the neuromuscular system.
There are different techniques in spinal/joints manipulation. The main distinction is between if the manoeuvre that is done within the physiologic range of motion or over the normal range of motion.
Within the physiologic range of motion: looking at the figure above the manoeuvre will be done within the normal range of movement of the joint. In this case between 0 degrees and 90 degrees.
Over the normal range of motion: looking at the figure above the manoeuvre will be done a few degrees outside the normal range of movement of the joint. In this case, going over the 90 degrees.
At 5 STAR CLINIC, we believe in the importance of our patients’ safety and therefore we perform manipulation within the physiologic range of motion of the joint to further reduce any risks.
Different studies have demonstrated the safety on the neck manipulation. The stresses and strains on the vertebral artery during spinal manipulation were much smaller than those produced during some routine neck movements as well as during some diagnostic procedures.
