Spinal Therapy

Spinal Therapy

Spinal Therapy is a specialized treatment aimed at improving the health and alignment of the spine.
It uses hands-on techniques, therapeutic exercises, or equipment to relieve pain, correct posture, and restore mobility.
It is commonly recommended for conditions such as back pain, slipped discs, sciatica, neck stiffness, and posture-related issues.
The therapy focuses on the relationship between the spine, nervous system, and overall body function

Types of Spinal Therapy

  1. Manual Spinal Manipulation – Hands-on adjustments to align vertebrae and relieve nerve pressure.

  2. Spinal Decompression Therapy – Gentle stretching using specialized equipment to relieve disc pressure.

  3. Physiotherapy-Based Spinal Exercises – Strengthening and flexibility exercises for long-term spinal health.

  4. Massage and Soft Tissue Therapy – Reduces muscle tension around the spine to improve mobility.

  5. Cupping or Heat Therapy (Optional) – Improves blood circulation and relaxes back muscles.

  6. Electrical Stimulation Therapy – Low-level electrical currents to relieve pain and improve nerve function.

How it Works

  • The spine is assessed for misalignments, stiffness, or nerve compression.

  • Therapists use adjustments, stretching, massage, or traction to restore normal alignment.

  • This reduces muscle tension, increases blood and nutrient flow, and decreases inflammation.

  • Proper spinal alignment improves posture, mobility, and nerve communication between the brain and body.

Benefits of Spinal  Therapy

  • Relieves back, neck, and shoulder pain

  • Improves posture and spinal flexibility

  • Reduces muscle stiffness and joint tension

  • Supports recovery from sciatica, slipped discs, and sports injuries

  • Enhances blood circulation and reduces inflammation

  • Promotes relaxation and reduces stress

  • Improves nerve function for overall body wellness

Precautions

  • Avoid during acute spinal fractures, severe osteoporosis, or spinal infections

  • Pregnant women should avoid certain spinal manipulations (especially lower back)

  • People with bleeding disorders, severe nerve damage, or skin infections should consult a doctor first

  • Always choose a certified and experienced therapist

  • Inform the therapist about medical history and ongoing treatments
