If your body feels tense, or if your back feels like it needs to be cracked, you may be a candidate for spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation is a gentle, hands-on technique used by Dr. James Huggins, Jr. at Carolina Chiropractic Center to remove subluxations. A subluxation occurs when the vertebrae become misaligned. Allow us to explain the benefits of spinal manipulation.
Spinal manipulation therapy combines moving and jolting joints back to their correct position. It’s designed to relieve pressure on joints, reduce inflammation, and to improve nerve function overall. To perform a spinal manipulation, Dr. James Huggins, Jr. will have the patient lay on a table and apply firm pressure on the vertebrae that is causing discomfort. This method is completely safe but is not recommended for those who suffer from severe osteoporosis or an unstable spine.
