ANATOMY

In the context of Joint s, manipulation is the skilled passive movement of a joint that is applied at varying speeds and amplitudes, including a small-amplitude/high velocity therapeutic movement or thrust. It can also refer to the process of bringing fragments of Fractured bone or Displaced joints into normal Anatomical alignment (otherwise known as 'setting' the bone).

Manipulation does not imply specificity or the correction of the Chiropractic ''subluxation'' , and therefore is not entirely synonymous with the chiropractic ''adjustment'' .
