Sunshine Valley Family Chiropractor
Joint mobilizations involve gentle stretching of the joint capsule to re-establish pain-free range of motion (ROM). By applying physical stimulus to the joint, we are able to increase lubrication, relax deep muscular stabilizers, and activate proprioceptors to help increase balance and awareness.
Joint manipulations or adjustments involving placing a joint/s in specific positions and applying a light thrust which often results in an audible sound. This sound is gas release in the joint which can result in decreased pain, increased ROM, and increased muscle activation resulting in improved balance and stability.
