Stiff spinal joints can result in pain and restriction in performing even simple tasks like putting your socks on. Neck and back stiffness can result from arthritis, whiplash injuries, general ageing processes, trauma and overdoing things like gardening, lifting and sudden movements in sport and other activities.
Spinal manipulation involves short, fast end-range joint movements to increase the range of
joint motion and are normally associated with clicks and clunks.
Mobilisation is graded movement starting from gentle small movements up to deep pressure
within the movement of the joints.
These techniques are particularly helpful in whiplash injury,
general neck and back pain, sciatica and more. |
