Will it hurt? If you ask 100
patients to describe their adjustments, you may get 100 different answers!
That's because there are many adjusting techniques for the chiropractor to
choose from. Some doctors have their patients sit up for certain
adjustments. Others tell them to lie down. Some use elaborate tables with
moveable head or foot rests while others use stationary tables. A
chiropractor may use a certain technique on one visit and a totally
different one the next. Chiropractic colleges teach their students many
adjusting techniques. They realize each doctor and patient is different. In
fact, each subluxation is different and may require a separate approach.
Even the size, weight, and muscle structure of the doctor and patient must
be taken into consideration when choosing a technique. Chiropractors select
the technique which will most effectively correct subluxations with a
minimum of force. The "art" of adjusting requires skill and training rather
than brute strength. That's why even slightly built doctors can perform
excellent adjustments on all patients regardless of their size. |
