    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Physical Therapy
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) is increasingly utilized in healthcare.
    • Growing acceptance is evidenced by more practitioners and positive clinical trial outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define spinal manipulation.
    • To explore the mechanisms underlying its effectiveness.

    Main Methods:

    • Definition of manipulation as skilled, gentle, passive joint movement.
    • Categorization of techniques including thrust, oscillation, and distraction.

    Main Results:

    • Spinal manipulation encompasses diverse techniques.
    • Effectiveness is attributed to combined mechanisms.

    Conclusions:

    • Spinal manipulation is a versatile therapeutic modality.
    • Its efficacy is supported by mechanical, neurophysiologic, and biomechanical factors.
