We test the joint with muscle tests and palpation before anything else.
Manual adjustment of the spine and joints, delivered by our Doctors of Physical Therapy as one part of a full plan, to relieve pain and restore function.
What It Is
Chiropractic-style manipulative treatment focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions related to the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. The goal is to relieve pain, improve function and restore normal movement in the joint.
The treatment involves manual adjustment of the spine and other joints, including the hips, shoulders and knees, designed to realign the bones and joints toward their proper position, reduce pain and inflammation, and improve range of motion. We also use muscle tests, palpation and physical examination to diagnose and treat what is actually driving the problem.
Here, that adjustment is delivered by a Doctor of Physical Therapy, certified in spinal manipulation, as one part of your full plan rather than the whole treatment.
What It Helps
Manipulative treatment is often recommended for pain in the spine and the joints around it.

Questions, Answered
It is safe and effective for many people, but not appropriate for everyone. Conditions such as osteoporosis, tumors and spinal cord compression may be contraindicated. That is exactly why we screen before we adjust, and recommend an alternative form of treatment when it is not the right fit.
It is often recommended for people with neck pain, lower back pain, headaches, migraines and sciatica. The adjustment can involve the spine or other joints, including the hips, shoulders and knees.
On top of. The adjustment is delivered by your Doctor of Physical Therapy as one part of a full plan, not a separate visit with a separate provider. Call us at (210) 750-9004 and we’ll tell you plainly whether it fits your plan.
