What does Manipulation do? The Science

​

There has also been recent studies, that have shown Chiropractic has a positive effect on joint position sense and can uninhibiting surrounding musculature, as well as improving the joints functional range of movement and decreasing pain levels for spinal joints.

​

Spinal manipulation has also been shown to work on a neurological level. It is thought to work by stimulating the sensory nerves around in the joint capsule and the local muscles, the neurological input allows the body to react and improve mobility. There is also speculation that it may help to unlock pinched menisci and adhesions. There are also recent studies to show they improve proprioception and improve strength of local effected inhibited muscles.

​

Medical acupuncture is shown to work again through the nervous system. It stimulates some of your sensory receptors called your A delta fibres, your bodies reaction to this is to relax muscles. Needling also increases blood supply to the area which helps the healing process. Lastly it releases a neurotransmitter in your spinal cord called Encephalin which acts as pain relief.
