Dr. Abby breaks down the science behind spinal manipulation and why it's such a powerful tool in her treatment arsenal.

After proper screening questions and thorough spinal assessment, spinal manipulation can:

🔧 Reduce pain - immediate relief through neurological mechanisms
🔧 Reduce abnormal muscle tone - breaking the tension-pain cycle
🔧 Improve muscle activation - has even been shown to temporarily improve quad activation
🔧 Improve joint mobility and ROM - restoring normal movement patterns

Dr. Abby's approach: "I use this tool to improve a patient's tolerance to movement and loading through these mechanisms. It's about preparing the body for the real work ahead."

Fun fact: Manipulation isn't superior to mobilization - if you're not confident or well-trained in spinal manipulation, you can mobilize and get the same effects.

When joints aren't moving properly, surrounding muscles compensate and create pain. These techniques restore function and break the cycle.
