Spinal Manipulation Therapy

Spinal Manipulation Therapy (SMT) is a non-invasive therapeutic approach used to treat musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those affecting the spine. It involves the use of manual techniques to mobilize or manipulate the joints of the spine or other parts of the body, with the aim of reducing pain and improving mobility. A controlled force will be applied with hands or a small instrument over the affected region to restore normal joint motion. It improves the blood supply to the affected region. Spinal manipulation therapy treats neck and lower back pain and neuromuscular and skeletal conditions.
