Your spinal cord is a major component of your central nervous system, along with your brain and your cranial nerves. Your brain thinks, your cranial nerves see and hear, and your spinal cord moves your extremities and provides you with a sense of touch. Your spinal column is a series of bones, starting small and getting bigger, that protect the
spinal cord. In the event of a misplacement or any damage to the spinal column, your nerves can be impacted. The result can include numbness, pain, itching or tingling of the extremities.
You may also suffer from back pain. Spinal manipulation as therapy.
Spinal Manipulation: What You Need To Know
The position for lumbar spine manipulation is very similar to that used during sacroiliac joint techniques. The patient is again placed in this lateral recumbent position, and we try to isolate the area to be manipulated by hooking the spinous process of the lumbar vertebra. The joint is then stressed to its end range of motion with the forearm placed over the ischial tuberosity. At this point, a high-velocity, low-amplitude impulse can be applied. An alternate technique is to place the hypothenar eminence on the paraspinal tissues and again stress the joint to its end range of motion. A high-velocity, low-amplitude impulse is again applied.
