What is Spinal Manipulation?

Spinal manipulation is hands on technique that provides a quick stretch to the joints of the spine that in turn causes a crack or pop sound.

The sound you hear is actually a release of nitrogen gas. It takes 20 minutes after a joint has been cracked for that gas to build up again before you can manipulate the joint again.

When a joint is manipulated and the gas is released little receptors in the joint and tendon are stimulated which in turn causes the muscles overlying that area to relax for approximately 15 minutes.

During this time we hope that the muscles go back to restful state. It’s kind of like restarting your computer when it is not working properly.

Contrary to popular belief no joints actually go out or need to put back into place or are out of align. These are all myths.

First time here working with Ian. I appreciated the thorough assessment and noting of history. He repeatedly told me that the goal was not to create pain, “loading without overloading” and the separation of exercises into strengthening and stretching…very reassuring and motivating to work on the exercises he outlined and communicated to me in writing. I am looking forward to my having decreased pain and sensitivity.read more
