Joint Mobilizations
Joint Mobilizations:
Gentle movements through the joints in order to help increase range of motion and decrease pain and prevent future injury.
What Are They?
Joint mobilizations are a passive way to help increase range of motion through a joint. It is a great form of treatment to use in conjunction with soft tissue therapy and prior to chiropractic adjustments. It allows for the joints to move more smoothly and for the adjustment to be more impactful. Research has shown they can also be used in place of an adjustment if a patient is uncomfortable or too sore.
