Chiropractic Manipulation is a technique where practitioners use their hands or a device to apply a controlled thrust (that is, a force of a specific magnitude or degree in a specific direction) to a joint of your spine. The amount of force can vary, but the thrust moves the joint more than it would on its own.
Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine and a component of traditional Chinese medicine in which thin needles are inserted into specific points of the body, to various depths.
Cold laser therapy, or commonly known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or low-power laser therapy (LPLT), uses low levels of light to treat a variety of conditions.

This helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the disks so they can heal.
