What are the benefits of joint manipulation?
One of the most common ways to provide patients more range of motion (ROM) and pain reduction is joint manipulation. Joint manipulation, often known as "back cracking," helps patients by utilising a number of different methods.
​
Our trained physiotherapists use the method of joint manipulation to lessen discomfort and expand range of motion while enhancing a patient's general quality of posture.
What are the causes of joint dysfunction?
Several conditions, such as the following, can cause in joint dysfunction:
​
Underuse - People who have spent a lot of time in front of a desk or bed may suffer from severe joint discomfort and injury as a result of underusing their joints.
Overuse - can occur either through a brief period of intense effort or over the course of a lifetime of constant use.
Natural Joint Dysfunction - Joints naturally degenerate with age, but this fact does not make the process any less painful, uncomfortable, or harmful. Joint manipulation can lessen the effects of natural joint dysfunction.
Trauma - is caused by an accident, an injury, or over an extended period of time.
Post-op - Issues that develop both connected and unrelated after an operation are referred to as post-opt.
Joint manipulation side effects
Headache, slight radiating pain, and local discomfort are among the extremely modest side effects of joint manipulation, which is regarded as a safe therapy. When the spine's joints are manipulated, there are various hazards involved. These include stroke, spinal damage, herniated discs, rib or vertebral fractures, among other problems. Because of this, it's crucial to only work with trained specialists that have knowledge of joint manipulation.
​
​Whenever possible, look for a physiotherapist with the highest qualification that a physiotherapist can achieve and is recognized around the world. Our highly trained physiotherapists will be able to assess your condition and overall health to determine whether or not joint manipulation would be beneficial to you.
How does joint manipulation work?
Joint manipulation is typically utilised as one component of a larger physiotherapy regimen that also involves a variety of other methods. Your physiotherapist will discuss with you to assess whether joint manipulation is the best treatment for you.
Joint manipulation initially resembles receiving a massage. A massage table will frequently be used by your physiotherapist while they precisely apply pressure with their hands to adjust your joints.
​
Muscle, ligament, scar tissue, and the joint capsule itself will all be stretched and realigned as a result of the pressure and movement used to manipulate the joint. Joint manipulation is a successful pain management strategy as well.
​
Joint manipulation can benefit all joints from your spine to your toes, but only your doctor or physiotherapist can assess if it is correct for you either on its own or as part of a comprehensive physiotherapy approach.
