Held in high esteem by those who want non-invasive and result driven care, The Nova Clinic is the ideal option for professional joint manipulation in Dubai.
What is Joint Manipulation?
Joint Manipulation is a highly specialized manual therapy technique employed to restore joint motion, reduce pain, and enhance overall biomechanics. It entails the application of a controlled, high velocity, low amplitude thrust to a particular joint to cause a small rapid movement within its normal range. The technique aids in releasing joint restrictions, easing muscle guarding, and stimulating proprioceptive feedback for enhanced movement coordination. Scientifically, joint manipulation affects the nervous system by modulating pain pathways, suppressing local inflammation, and enhancing neuromuscular control. It is widely employed in chiropractic, physiotherapy, and sports rehab for spine, peripheral joint, hip, and shoulder related conditions. As a pillar of manual therapy, joint manipulation combines expertise, precision, and evidence based practice to restore best possible function.
Types of Joint Manipulation
Nova wellness clinic offers several types of joint manipulations suited to your condition and mobility objectives:
High Velocity Low Amplitude (HVLA) Manipulation
A rapid, controlled thrust in the joint's normal range to release restriction, decrease stiffness, and enhance motion. Usually associated with a soft clicking sound, it results in immediate relief and better mobility.
Mobilization Techniques
A more gradual, rhythmic use of graded pressure applied to slowly enhance joint motion without thrusting. Suitable for sensitive or inflamed joints.
Spinal Manipulation
Sensitive to the spinal column, the method addresses mechanical impairment of the spine, relaxing back pain, stiff neck, and improving posture and alignment.
Peripheral Joint Manipulation
Applied in limbs and smaller joints like the shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, and ankle to restore normal motion and relax muscular tension.
How is Joint Manipulation Done?
Take a look at the process of a joint manipulation therapy, a 20–30 minute process that enhances range of motion and eases stiffness.
- Assessment & Diagnosis: The practitioner starts with careful assessment of posture, joint alignment, and movement patterns to determine restricted segments or dysfunction.
- Preparation & Positioning: The patient is placed in a comfortable position so joint access can be safely and accurately made. The practitioner relaxes muscles and gives instructions prior to the thrust.
- Manual Application & Adjustment: A controlled, specific force is brought against the affected joint. This rapid movement restores joint play, decreases pressure accumulation, and unlocks nearby soft tissue tension.
- Post Treatment Care: Following manipulation, the region is observed for reaction. Patients can feel lighter and more nimble. Rest, hydration, and stretching are advised to enhance the effects of the adjustment.
Benefits of Joint Manipulation
- Relieves stiffness and long term joint restriction.
- Better movement economy, mobility, and posture.
- Boosts joint lubrication and blood flow.
- Lowers muscle tension and inflammation.
- Encourages natural pain modulation and nervous system balance.
- Assists rehabilitation and overall musculoskeletal health.
Conditions that are Treated with Joint Manipulation
Joint manipulation therapy has been widely used in rehabilitation and wellness programs to assist in the maintenance of musculoskeletal positioning and maximize daily motion.
- Spinal & Postural Disorders: Best for neck pain, lower back pain, spinal alignment issues, and disc related mechanical issues.
- Joint Dysfunction & Arthritis: Helps to manage stiffness, minor arthritic pain, and restricted mobility in peripheral joints.
- Sports & Overuse Injuries: Aids recovery from repetitive strain, sprains, and performance related stiffness.
- Neuromuscular Imbalance: Enhances control, reduces muscle spasm, and improves coordination through enhanced proprioception.
- Rehabilitation & Functional Recovery: Helps to restore movement after immobilization, poor posture, or post injury compensation patterns.
- Limited Range of Motion: Enhances mechanical movement and flexibility in involved joints.
- Joint Locking or Catching: Releases motion segments that are stuck for improved articulation.
- Chronic Postural Strain: Corrects alignment related discomfort and enhances functional movement.
- Athletic Fatigue: Improves joint recovery and readiness to perform.

I've been coming to The Nova Clinic Al Wasl Branch for laser hair removal and really happy with the results I'm getting. Shoutout to Dr. Saima, she's so sweet, very detailed and professional when it comes to explaining the procedures and whats best for me, and a shoutout to her nurse Rachel too. The only thing is that sometimes it's quite difficult to change or book appointments if I want to book something soon, which makes me have to wait a long time. However overall, I would definitely recommend this clinic to others!

She is very professional and walked me through what would happen and how long it would last. During the treatment she talked about what she was applying and how it would affect my skin . Over all a great experience and I would definitely recommend Jessica and the Nova Clinic.

It was my first time at the Nova clinic and I was pleasantly impressed. A very beautiful, spacious and clean place with excellent service and professional specialists. I came for a procedure with cosmetologist Natalya and she selected a treatment for me based on my skin type and according to my recommendations, we did peeling and lifting of the lower part of the face, everything went as comfortable and pleasant as possible) After the procedure, my face was shining and looked very fresh, and after a few days I began to receive a million compliments that I began to look much better and that something had changed noticeably, this cannot please me either when in the morning I saw an even tone and a toned face. In general, I am very pleased and recommend Natalia as a specialist in caring for your face.

I did an enzyme facial last week at NOVA clinic, It was amazing,Christine was amazing and very gentle and the atmosphere of the room is very relaxing. The facial was kind of uncomfortable because it stings BUT after the results of the facial after 2 days i forgot about the unpleasant itches during the facial. Everyone told me im glowing which is why im going to do the facial again very soon! Plus it seemed like it reduced visible fine lines/wrinkles. I highly recommend this facial and clinic, as it's very clean and welcoming.

I recently had my brows shaped by Lana Tarek, a well known brow aesthetician. I am so impressed by her work. She is very meticulous in what she does, she will analyse your face and create a shape which will suit you best. My mother also does micoblading there and the results are amazing.. She creates really natural, beautiful brows. I highly recommend her!
