At United Physical Therapy, we offer joint manipulation therapy as a specialized technique to restore joint mobility, alleviate pain, and improve overall function. Joint manipulation, also known as manual therapy or chiropractic adjustment, involves skilled hands-on techniques to mobilize or manipulate joints, helping to address musculoskeletal dysfunction and promote optimal movement.
How Joint Manipulation Works: During joint manipulation therapy, our skilled therapists apply controlled, quick movements to specific joints in the body. These manipulative techniques are aimed at restoring normal joint movement, reducing joint restrictions, and alleviating pain. By targeting areas of restricted motion or dysfunction, joint manipulation can help improve joint function and range of motion.
