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 کاملPerspective: Efficacy of spinal manipulative therapy in the treatment of symptomatic lumbar disc herniation
Efficacy and safety of spinal manipulation therapy in the treatment of symptomatic lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is the focus of this essay. High velocity low amplitude, short lever rotational technique in side lying posture is the common technique being practiced in cases of LDH. This perspective discusses on four different essential and practical considerations of SMT in the treatment of LDH; ...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Lumbar Disc Herniation With Exacerbation of Presentation Due to Spinal Manipulative Therapy
The aim of this article was to delineate the characteristics of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) in patients with exacerbation of symptoms caused by spinal manipulative therapy (SMT). The main emphasis should be on the prevention of this condition by identifying relevant risk factors. Detailed clinico-radiological profiles of a total number of 10 LDH patients with exacerbation of presentation after...
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...
