Mechanism of action of spinal manipulative therapy.
Spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) acts on the various components of the vertebral motion segment. SMT distracts the facet joints, with faster separation when a cracking sound is heard. Intradiscal pressure may decrease briefly. Forceful stretching of the paraspinal muscles occurs, which induces relaxation via mechanisms that remain to be fully elucidated. Finally, SMT probably has an inherent a...
متن کاملSpinal manipulative therapy and somatosensory activation.
Manually-applied movement and mobilization of body parts as a healing activity has been used for centuries. A relatively high velocity, low amplitude force applied to the vertebral column with therapeutic intent, referred to as spinal manipulative therapy (SMT), is one such activity. It is most commonly used by chiropractors, but other healthcare practitioners including osteopaths and physiothe...

متن کاملPre-clinical Evaluation of the Biomechanical Behavior of Implantable Devices for Orthopedic and Spinal Surgery
The assessment of the suitability of the biomechanical performances of a medical device intended to replace either a function or tissue, is a primary issue in the pre-clinical evaluation of a new device. Such evaluation is usually performed by means of either experimental facilities or computational simulation or, better, by the interaction of both the methodologies. Difficulties arise when try...
متن کاملThe assessment of cervical intersegmental mobility before and after spinal manipulative therapy.
The objective of this study is to assess the changes in cervical intersegmental spinal mobility before and after the use of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT). Two systems of mensuration are utilized in 58 case studies. The results are then compared to previously defined normal values and the efficacy of SMT is objectively assessed. Of the 58 case studies presented, results reveal that post-SMT ...
