Spinal manipulation is a precise technique where our physiotherapists apply a quick, controlled movement to a specific joint in your spine. The goal is to restore natural alignment and improve mobility, especially when stiffness or tension limits how you move or feel.

At KINETIKA, we use spinal manipulation only when it is appropriate and always after a detailed spinal assessment. Your safety and comfort come first. This technique is often part of a wider treatment plan designed to reduce pain, restore balance, and support long-term function.

Relief for Back Pain
and Stiffness

Spinal manipulation is especially helpful for people dealing with:

  • Chronic lower back pain that makes daily life difficult
  • Neck stiffness and shoulder tightness from long hours at a desk
  • Reduced spinal mobility caused by poor posture or muscle imbalance
  • Fatigue or tension in the spine from stress or repetitive movements

By restoring movement in key spinal segments, this technique can ease pressure on surrounding muscles and nerves, support your posture, and help your nervous system function more efficiently.

Benefits of spinal
manipulation include:

  • Relief from back and neck pain
  • Better posture and joint alignment
  • Reduction in nerve-related discomfort
  • Greater freedom and ease in daily movement
  • A sense of lightness and mobility in the spine after treatment

Whether you are recovering from injury or trying to stay mobile and active, spinal manipulation at KINETIKA can help you feel more balanced and in control of your body.

Optokinetic Stimulation

Optokinetic stimulation is a treatment tool that uses moving visual patterns (like stripes or dots) to help desensitise the brain to motion and reduce symptoms of dizziness, disorientation, or visual overload. It’s particularly helpful when visual environments trigger or worsen your symptoms.

Skull Vibration Test

The Skull Vibration Test uses a gentle vibration behind the ear to stimulate the balance organs of your inner ear and detect if there’s a difference between the left and right sides. It is often used as a simple but powerful screening tool when dizziness or imbalance seems one-sided.

Videonystagmoscope (VNS)

VNS is a diagnostic tool that uses infrared video goggles to directly observe and analyse eye movements in real time. Since the eyes and inner ear are functionally linked, monitoring these movements helps determine whether a patient’s dizziness or imbalance is related to peripheral vestibular dysfunction or central causes.

Video Head Impulse Test (VHIT)

The VHIT evaluates how well your vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) is working — the reflex that keeps your eyes steady when your head moves. It helps us determine whether your inner ear canals are functioning properly, especially when you feel dizzy or unfocused during quick movements.
