What is Spinal Manipulation?

Spinal manipulation is hands on technique that provides a quick stretch to the joints of the spine that in turn causes a crack or pop sound.

The sound you hear is actually a release of nitrogen gas. It takes 20 minutes after a joint has been cracked for that gas to build up again before you can manipulate the joint again.

When a joint is manipulated and the gas is released little receptors in the joint and tendon are stimulated which in turn causes the muscles overlying that area to relax for approximately 15 minutes.

During this time we hope that the muscles go back to restful state. It’s kind of like restarting your computer when it is not working properly.

Contrary to popular belief no joints actually go out or need to put back into place or are out of align. These are all myths.

Went to Ian for physio and he has been patient, professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. He sends me home with progressive exercises to do and evaluates the pain each time I’ve come in to make sure we are addressing the root cause of the issue. Great service and front staff is friendly and helpful too - I highly recommend Ian and this clinic!read more

Hands down on my best Physio experience. Fixed many long lasting problems here with very few visits, especially with Matt, bro was able to loosen my shoulders like they’ve never been relaxed my entire life. I kept moving them around after the session for the rest of the day because I have not felt them move like this for a very long time.read more
