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.
