There are many definitions of joint manipulation.
Joint manipulation is a manual therapy technique in which a passive movement is applied to a joint by a skilled clinician with small amplitude and in a quick fashion. This is also known as high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust manipulation.
The intentional manipulation of the spine and peripheral joints can be used as a physical therapy treatment to facilitate movement and relieve pain for a variety of conditions.
In addition to spinal and peripheral manipulation, you will receive other manual therapy techniques and exercise to re-enforce the effects of the manual techniques performed and help you on your way to recovery.
