Figure 1: CS Subluxation Step 2: Double cervical lock adjustment • • • Doctor: side or head of table. Patient: prone. Table: cervical piece in the ready position. • Contact: MCP or PIP joint on the LPJ (location of nodule). Always adjust the superior seg-ment first, followed by the infe-rior segment. In our sample case, the C3 vertebra would be ad-justed first, followed by C5. Stabilization: opposite side zygo-matic arch or parietal bone. • LOC: P-A, L-M perpendicular to the facet joint and in line with disc plane. The anterior to posterior thrust corrects for the posteriority of the subluxation, and the unilateral contact on the lamina-pedicle junction cor-rects for the rotational component involved. Thus, the doctor will be thrusting into the patient’s natural cervical lordosis, restoring the affected segment back into a normal position. After the cervical subluxation is corrected, the legs become balanced in the extended position, but still present as a short right leg in the flexed position. What does this mean? Are there other subluxations present? We will answer these questions in our next edition as we continue on with our sample case. Until next time… adjust with confidence. • VALUE PASS Access to all 1 Hour CE presentations, trade show, contests, events, community and more… ONLY $87!
