'''Spinal manipulation''' is a technique that involves the application of specific, controlled forces to a joint or joints of the spine. This technique is often used by [[chiropractors]], [[osteopaths]], and [[physiotherapists]] to treat a variety of conditions, including [[back pain]], [[neck pain]], and [[headaches]].

== History ==

The practice of spinal manipulation dates back to ancient times, with evidence of its use found in the writings of [[Hippocrates]] and [[Galen]]. It was further developed in the late 19th century by [[Daniel David Palmer]], the founder of [[chiropractic]].

== Techniques ==

There are several different techniques of spinal manipulation, including:

* High-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) thrust: This is the most commonly used technique in spinal manipulation. It involves a rapid, forceful thrust applied to a joint while the body is in a specific position.
* Mobilization: This involves slower, more controlled movements where the joint is moved within its range of motion.
* Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT): This is a more general term that refers to any approach to spinal manipulation.

== Efficacy and safety ==

Numerous studies have been conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of spinal manipulation. While some studies have found it to be effective for certain conditions, such as acute low back pain, the evidence is less clear for other conditions. The safety of spinal manipulation is also a topic of ongoing research, with some studies suggesting a risk of adverse events, particularly in the case of neck manipulation.
