Joint manipulation, an effective naturopathic treatment, addresses a variety of musculoskeletal conditions by restoring proper joint function and alleviating pain. At our practice, our skilled naturopathic doctors use precise techniques to enhance mobility and promote the body’s natural healing processes. This targeted approach is beneficial for:

The team at Healing Duo Integrative Family Medical Practice may incorporate joint manipulation alongside other treatments such as nutritional counseling, herbal medicine, and lifestyle modifications to effectively treat chronic pain, muscle tension, and mobility issues.

During a joint manipulation visit, you can expect a thorough and personalized approach to addressing your musculoskeletal concerns. Your naturopathic doctor will begin with a detailed discussion about your health history, symptoms, and specific areas of pain or discomfort. This initial assessment helps in identifying the root causes of your joint issues.

Next, the doctor will perform a physical examination, focusing on the affected joints and surrounding muscles. Based on this evaluation, the doctor will apply controlled and precise force to the targeted joints to restore alignment, improve mobility, and reduce pain. You may hear a clicking or popping sound during the manipulation, which is normal and indicates the release of gas bubbles from the joint.

After the treatment, you may experience immediate relief or a gradual improvement in your symptoms. The doctor will also provide you with aftercare instructions and may recommend complementary therapies to support your overall recovery and well-being.

Joint manipulation can significantly improve your overall health by enhancing joint function and relieving pain. You may experience increased mobility, reduced inflammation, and improved posture as a result of this treatment. Some patients also notice a decrease in muscle tension and a boost in overall physical performance.

After your joint manipulation session, you are encouraged to refrain from strenuous physical activity for the rest of the day. Some people may experience mild soreness or discomfort in the treated areas, which typically resolves on its own within a few days.
