Manipulative Therapy

This treatment technique can be incorporated into Osteopathy sessions and is very useful where joint stiffness is contributing to a pain issue. The technique delivers a sharp movement to a joint and is very effective at restoring mobility to a restricted area.

Patients can have mixed feeling about this type of treatment; with some being very keen to receive them and then improving very quickly, and others can feel uncomfortable with the way the technique feels when it is delivered.

At The Spine & Sports Injury Clinic we will always consult with the patient before carrying out any treatment technique, and should a patient prefer not to receive a manipulation then we will utilise an alternative approach that is more suitable to the patient’s preference.

As with many other treatment approaches, manipulative therapy is often used alongside other treatment modalities to form the most suitable treatment plan for each individual case. This may include:

• Soft Tissue Manipulation
• Neuro Mobilisations
• Rehabilitation Exercise
• Core Training
• Modern Acupuncture
• Sports Taping
• Ultrasound Therapy

Our aim at The Spine & Sports Injury Clinic is to not only to address the pain issue a patient is suffering, but to also improve how people self manage their pain complaints by providing advice on lifestyle modification and home exercises. We also make a range of exercises easily available through our Exercise Library Page and lifestyle advice through our Lifestyle Advice Page.
