CHIROPRACTIC TECHNIQUE I HAVE OBSERVED
The additional illustrations,
THE STANDING POSITION OPENING UP[ THE SEGMENTS OF UPPER DORSALS ILLUSTRATION No. 29 Showing patient standing while the middle dorsal vertebrae are being adjusted. The sternum of the adjuster is placed firmly against the dorsal vertebrae; the operator's arms and hands are placed as in illustration No. 29, with body erect. The adjuster makes a slight pull or jerk with his body backward and with his hands a slight pressure downward upon the patient's neck. This move opens up the vertebrae and is very beneficial in emergency cases.
THE SITTING POSITION ADJUSTING THE LUMBARS ILLUSTRATION No. 30 Showing sitting position of patient while the lumbar vertebrae are being adjusted. Use Contact No. 1 in giving this adjustment. Carefully observe Contact numbers illustrated on pages 48 and 49.
ADJUSTING THE ATLAS ILLUSTRATION No. 31 Showing Contacts Nos. 4 and 6 while adjusting the Atlas with patient lying face downward Place Contact No. 4 as close up to the occiput as possible. Hold Contact firmly and with Contact No. 6 at patient's chin give the head a quick twisting jerk. This is a very excellent and quite positive atlas adjustment.
ADJUSTING THE FIRST DORSAL VERTEBRA ILLUSTRATION No. 32 Showing Contacts Nos. 4 and 6 in adjusting the first dorsal vertebra The thumb or Contact No. 4 is placed against the spinus process on the lamina of the first dorsal vertebra.
ADJUSTING THE EXTREME UPPER DORSAL VERTEBRAE ILLUSTRATION No. 33 Showing Contacts Nos. 3 and 6 The thrust is given toward the inferior on the spinus process of the dorsal vertebra. The adjuster will find Contacts Nos. 1 and 6, illustrated on page 62, to be the more certain and better method in adjusting the first, second and third dorsal vertebrae.
ADJUSTING UPPER DORSALS ILLUSTRATION NO. 34 Showing Contact No. 1 in adjusting the first dorsal vertebrae A better method is taught in illustration No. 11 on page 60 in adjusting the extreme upper dorsal vertebrae, and is the Contact used in teaching The Buxton Technological Course.
ADJUSTING UPPER DORSAL REGION ILLUSTRATION NO. 35 Use Contact No. 1 upon shoulder of patient to give the thrust and Contact No. 6 at patient's knee as anchor hand. This is a rotating method of adjusting the dorsal vertebrae and is quite beneficial.
ADJUSTING THE LUMBAR VERTEBRAE ILLUSTRATION NO. 36 Adjusting the ilium, sacrum and lumbar vertebrae Raise patient's leg and place knee against operator's knee. The adjuster's hand anchored against the shoulder of the patient with the other hand upon the crest of the ilium to adjust the ilium and upon the sacrum to adjust the sacrum and upon the transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae to adjust them. This is quite a sure way to adjust the fifth lumbar and is an excellent move.
ADJUSTING THE SACRUM AND LOWER LUMBAR VERTEBRAE ILLUSTRATION NO. 37 Raise the patient's leg and give the thrust with Contact No. 1 upon the spinus process. The same Contact is used to adjust the sacrum by this method. |
