A Complete Guide to Safe, Scientific Spinal Manipulation by Trained Experts
Chiropractic treatment has long been recognized around the world as a powerful, non-invasive way to relieve pain, restore movement, and improve overall well-being. But while traditional chiropractic relies largely on manual spinal manipulation techniques, today’s modern medical and physiotherapy practices use a more evidence-based, clinically safe, and assessment-driven approach.
This advanced form is known as Modified Chiropractic Treatment, and it is one of the most effective drug-free solutions for patients struggling with spinal misalignments, nerve compression, postural problems, and chronic pain.
At Healing Hands Physiotherapy & Osteopathy Centre, Solapur, this specialized treatment is performed by Dr. Neha Singh Roda, a highly trained practitioner holding a C.O.M.T from the U.K. through the prestigious English School of Osteopathy & Modified Chiropractic. Her approach is grounded in science, meticulous assessment, and patient-centered care—ensuring safe, long-lasting results.
This article breaks down everything you need to know about Modified Chiropractic Treatment, how it works, conditions it treats, and why it is considered one of the safest forms of spinal manipulation available today.
Understanding Chiropractic Care: The Foundation
Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating mechanical disorders of the spine and joints, primarily through gentle, controlled adjustments. These manipulations help restore normal movement, relieve nerve pressure, and improve communication between the brain and the rest of the body.
A healthy spine allows the nervous system to function optimally, supporting healing, movement, immunity, sleep, stress response, and overall quality of life.
Traditional chiropractic has been practiced for decades worldwide, but with advances in medical science, practitioners now combine musculoskeletal anatomy, neurophysiology, biomechanics, and functional movement testing to deliver a modernized, safer version—the Modified (Medical) Chiropractic approach.
What Makes Modified Chiropractic Different?
Modified (Medical) Chiropractic Treatment goes beyond traditional manipulation. It prioritizes:
✅ Safety
✅ Scientific assessment
✅ Ligament & muscle stability testing
✅ Precise diagnosis
This ensures that every adjustment is performed only when the joint, ligament, and surrounding tissues are stable enough to receive it.
1. Comprehensive Assessment Before Any Adjustment
This is the biggest USP of Dr. Neha’s practice.
Before performing any spinal manipulation, she conducts:
- Ligament stability testing
- Muscle strength testing
- Functional movement assessment
- Postural analysis
- Neurological screening
- Leg Length Gonstead Diagnostic Testing
The Leg Length Gonstead Method is a globally recognized chiropractic diagnostic technique that helps identify:
- Pelvic rotations
- Spinal misalignments
- Nerve irritation
- Abnormal weight-bearing patterns
- Functional scoliosis
- Compensatory posture changes
This allows pinpoint accuracy—something traditional chiropractic often misses.
2. Controlled, Gentle Manipulations
Unlike aggressive or forceful manipulation techniques, Modified Chiropractic uses:
- Controlled movements
- Low-velocity, high-precision thrusts
- Body-assisted positioning
This makes the treatment extremely safe, even for:
- Older adults
- People recovering from injury
- Patients with slipped disc
- Those with chronic stiffness or weak muscles
3. Medical Insight + Chiropractic Precision
Dr. Neha’s dual training in Physiotherapy, Osteopathy, and Modified Chiropractic allows her to integrate multiple scientific disciplines:
- Muscle release
- Joint mobilization
- Nerve desensitization
- Fascia correction
- Strengthening protocols
This creates a holistic treatment model that addresses both the root cause and the symptoms.
Is Modified Chiropractic Safe?
Yes—Modified (Medical) Chiropractic is one of the safest spinal treatments because it is always performed after thorough assessment.
At Healing Hands:
✔ Spinal adjustments are delivered only when the joint is ready
✔ Ligaments and muscles are evaluated before every session
✔ No aggressive “cracking” is done without indication
✔ The treatment is 100% drug-free and non-surgical
✔ There are zero side effects when performed by a trained practitioner
How Does Modified Chiropractic Work?
The spine protects the nervous system. When the spine is misaligned:
- Nerves become irritated
- Muscles tighten
- Movement becomes restricted
- Blood flow decreases
- Healing slows down
Modified Chiropractic uses controlled adjustments to:
1. Restore Joint Mobility
Stiff or locked joints are gently mobilized to regain smooth movement.
2. Reduce Nerve Pressure
Misaligned vertebrae can pinch or irritate nerves. Adjustments relieve this pressure, reducing symptoms like:
- Tingling
- Numbness
- Radiating leg pain
- Burning sensations
- Muscle fatigue
3. Improve Brain-Body Communication
A healthy spine improves neural pathways, boosting:
- Coordination
- Reflexes
- Muscle activation
- Balance
- Healing capacity
4. Enhance Healing Without Surgery or Medication
By improving circulation, muscle relaxation, and nerve flow, the body begins repairing itself naturally.
5. Reset Posture and Body Mechanics
Postural faults—such as forward neck posture or hunched back—are corrected through sequential adjustments and retraining.
Benefits of Modified Chiropractic Treatment
Modified Chiropractic offers both immediate relief and long-term wellness benefits, including:
✔ Correct Posture
Restores neutral spine alignment, reduces hunching, and improves neck and shoulder posture.
✔ Relieve Nerve Pressure
Reduces compression of spinal nerves, decreasing pain and radiating symptoms.
✔ Drug-Free Pain Relief
Safe alternative to painkillers, which only mask symptoms but do not address the cause.
✔ Restore Mobility
Increases range of motion in the spine, hips, knees, shoulders, and rib cage.
✔ Promote Relaxation
Releases deep muscle tension, reduces stress, and improves sleep.
✔ Strengthen Immunity & Energy
A healthy spine supports a healthy nervous system—boosting immunity and overall vitality.

Essential Post-Treatment Advice: What You Must Do After an Adjustment
Post-chiropractic care is as important as the treatment itself.
After an adjustment, your body begins retraining:
- Posture
- Muscle memory
- Joint alignment
- Neuromuscular coordination
To make the results long-lasting, you must follow this key advice:
1. Walk Barefoot (5–10 Minutes Daily)
Barefoot walking on a clean, even surface helps:
- Activate foot muscles
- Improve proprioception (body awareness)
- Strengthen the kinetic chain
- Enhance spinal stability
- Improve balance
- Reduce compensations
Start with 5–10 minutes, gradually increasing as tolerated.
2. Hydrate Well
After adjustments, your muscles release metabolic waste.
Proper hydration:
- Helps tissue recovery
- Reduces soreness
- Enhances circulation
- Improves flexibility
Drink water throughout the day—avoid dehydration.
3. Avoid Prolonged Sitting
Sitting immediately after treatment can:
- Recreate spinal compression
- Reduce adjustment effectiveness
- Slow re-alignment
Take breaks every 20–30 minutes and keep the spine neutral.
4. Follow Your Prescribed Exercises
These exercises help retrain muscles and maintain alignment.
