Living With Aches and Pains? Spinal Manipulation Can Help You To Find Relief
Your spine does a lot for your body – it protects your spinal cord, allows you to breathe properly, and it is what allows your body to move. Actually, almost every function in your body is directly connected to the health of your spine. If you have joint pain or your back bothering you and is too much for you to bear, spinal manipulation is an excellent method of pain relief. You should find our services at Oklahoma Hand and Physical Therapy in Tulsa, OK to be very useful!
Spinal manipulation is a gentle, hands-on form of manual therapy that focuses on evaluating and enhancing spinal function. It can help relieve pressure on joints, reduce inflammation, and improve nerve function.
Therefore, even pain that may seem unrelated to spinal function could be effectively relieved through spinal manipulation treatments.

Why is spinal manipulation successful in relieving pain?
Your spine is a complex structure composed of vertebrae, discs, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. That’s a lot to keep up with!
It takes a delicate balance to ensure that your spine is operating at peak health and function.
To make sure your spine is at its optimum health, you must achieve the following:
- Strong abdominal and core muscles
- Good posture and spinal curves
- Good flexibility and balance with side-bending and rotation
- Strong spinal and gluteus muscles
This is why spinal manipulation is such an important and successful form of treatment.

Statistics on the effects of spinal manipulation
There is lots of research to back up the effectiveness of spinal manipulation for all kinds of pain conditions. A study published by the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy supports spinal manipulation as an effective mode of treatment.
The study, titled “Effectiveness of Physical Therapist Administered Spinal Manipulation for the Treatment of Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review of the Literature” analyzed data from several reputable medical journals to determine the effectiveness on patients living with lower back pain.
Six randomized control trials were included for review and thoroughly assessed by the researchers. Results were overwhelmingly positive for the success of spinal manipulation. The conclusion is as follows:
“Based on the findings of this systematic review there is evidence to support the use of spinal manipulation by physical therapists in clinical practice. Physical therapy spinal manipulation appears to be a safe intervention that improves clinical outcomes for patients with low back pain.”
