You bend to pick something up and your lower back locks. Or you wake up and cannot turn your head. A friend says, "Go get it cracked." Hands-on treatment can give real relief in these moments, and done safely, it is a good tool.
Two things matter more than the crack itself: checking it is safe for you, and doing the exercises that keep the joint moving afterwards. Without the second part, the stiffness often comes back. Our goal is to get you moving and keep you independent.
Physiotherapist or Chiropractor: What Is the Difference?
A Separate Profession
Chiropractors belong to a different profession with its own training. If you specifically want a chiropractor, that is not what we are.
Manipulation Inside a Full Plan
We are physiotherapists. We use manipulation and mobilisation when the assessment shows they will help, and combine them with exercise, posture work and advice.
For most people with a stiff, painful back or neck, the question is not the title on the door. It is whether the person treating you checks it is safe, explains what they are doing and gives you a way to stay better. That is what we do.
What Manipulation Can Help With
- Sudden low back pain or a back that has "locked" after bending: see back pain treatment
- A stiff, painful neck, including desk-job neck pain: see neck pain treatment
- Upper-back stiffness and tightness between the shoulder blades
- Headaches that start from the neck
- Pain around the sacroiliac joint and pelvis
- A stiff rib or upper back after sleeping awkwardly
- Stiff ankles, wrists, elbows and shoulders after an injury has healed
- Posture-related stiffness: see posture correction
Is the Crack Your Bones Going Back in Place?
No. The pop is usually a small gas bubble releasing inside the joint, the same thing that happens when you crack your knuckles. Nothing is being "put back". The relief comes from the joint moving more freely and the nervous system calming the muscle guarding around it. A good treatment does not need a crack to work, and gentler mobilisation is often just as effective.
Safety First: How We Screen Before Any Manipulation
History and Warning Signs
Recent falls or accidents, cancer history, unexplained weight loss, fever and night pain are checked before anyone touches your spine.
Nerve Check
Numbness, weakness and reflexes are tested, so a nerve problem is not treated like a simple stiff joint.
Neck and Bone Health
For neck treatment we ask about dizziness and other warning symptoms. We also ask about osteoporosis and long-term steroid use.
Right Technique, With Consent
Many patients start with gentle mobilisation. Manipulation is used only when it suits you, and only after we explain it and you agree.
When We Will Not Manipulate
⚠️ We do not manipulate the spine in these situations
- Emergency, go to hospital: numbness around the groin or buttocks, or new problems controlling the bladder or bowel
- Emergency, go to hospital: sudden dizziness, double vision, trouble speaking or swallowing, or a sudden severe headache or neck pain, which can be a stroke or a tear in a neck artery
- A suspected fracture, or a recent fall or accident that has not been checked
- Severe osteoporosis or long-term steroid use
- Cancer, infection or active inflammatory disease affecting the spine
- Weakness or numbness that is getting worse
- Rheumatoid arthritis or other causes of an unstable upper neck, or a joint hypermobility disorder
- Directly over a previous spinal fusion
- Blood thinners or bleeding disorders: gentle techniques only
- Pregnancy, where only gentle, modified techniques are used
If any of these apply, we use safer techniques or refer you to the right doctor instead.
Back or neck locked up?
Book an assessment. We check it is safe, treat it hands-on and give you the exercises to keep it moving.
