Welcome to NuPhysical Las Vegas!
Skeletal Manipulation, also known as joint mobilization or spinal manipulation, is a hands-on treatment that uses precise, controlled force to restore normal joint motion, relieve stiffness, and reduce pain. It’s commonly used in physical therapy, orthopedic rehab, and manual medicine to target issues related to the spine, hips, shoulders, knees, and more.
At NuPhysical, we apply advanced manipulation techniques that are gentle, safe, and customized to your body — helping you move better, feel better, and function at your best.
Joint restrictions — often caused by injury, poor posture, or repetitive movement — can reduce mobility, create compensations, and cause chronic discomfort.
During a treatment:
You may feel or hear a light “click” or “pop” — this is normal and often accompanied by immediate relief or release of tension.
Skeletal manipulation therapy is commonly used to treat:
Session Duration: 15–30 minutes
