Lowe Back Pain Treatment with Joint Mobilization in Richmond Hill
Struggling with low back pain in Richmond Hill? At York Rehab Clinic, our skilled osteopaths use joint mobilization/articulation—a gentle, passive manual therapy that restores key spine mechanics many patients lose control over.
Mobilizing movements like traction and shear target accessory motions your body can’t perform alone. These skilled techniques reduce pain, enhance your range of motion, and improve joint quality—known as arthrokinematics.
Clinical evidence supports joint mobilization (and manipulation) for chronic low back pain: meta-analyses show moderate-quality data confirming significant pain and functional improvement at short and mid-term follow-up (racgp.org.au, pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Osteopathic intervention improves pain and function in chronic non-specific low back pain (sciencedirect.com). Additional studies note benefits of mobilization for accessory joint movements and spinal fluid dynamics .
