Spinal manipulation  
  
  
The application of chiropractic treatments to treat back and neck pain has been a part of chiropractic care for quite a while. The primary difference between spinal manipulation and mobilisation is the speed at which the vertebral bones move. The patient cannot stop or limit movement of the joint through the manipulation of the spine. However, spinal mobilization allows the patient to stop the motion. Both procedures are safe to perform by a certified practitioner. Side effects are uncommon, but can include temporary stiffness/pain.  
  
  
Chiropractic adjustment causes negative pressure to be applied between the vertebral bodies. This allows the material that has been herniated to be drawn back into their intervertebral spaces. The procedure is known as spinal manipulation and is practiced for thousands of years. This is a non-invasive means of treating the condition , which has been incorporated into modern medical practices. It's also called "manipulation" It is a method of manual therapy that reduces pressure on joints and improves nerve function.
