Major Chiropractic Technique Systems
2
Chiropractic Clinical Approaches
  • Segmental- subluxation is described in terms of
    alterations in specific intervertebral motion
    segments
  • Postural- subluxation is seen as a postural
    and/or motion distortion of whole spine (closed
    kinetic chain)
  • Tonal- view the spine and nervous system as a
    functional unit goal is to clear the patient
    functionally

3
Using subluxation clinically
  • Mr. Smith, your second cervical vertebra is
    subluxated. (segmental)
  • Ms. Jones, your spine is subluxated. (postural)
  • Dr. Chiro, I need to get adjusted Im
    subluxated. (tonal)

4
Palmer Package Techniques
  • Diversified
  • Gonstead
  • Thompson
  • Palmer Upper Cervical Specific/Toggle Recoil/HIO

5
Diversified
  • Full-spine segmental approach
  • Mostly two-hand application of dynamic thrust
    (HVLA- High-Velocity, Low-Amplitude)
  • Patient is prone, supine, sitting usually no use
    of drops on adjusting table

6
Gonstead
  • Full-spine segmental approach developed by C.S.
    Gonstead of Wisconsin- Mt. Horeb
  • single and two-hand technique
  • Patient is prone, sitting, side-lying, knee-chest
    position pelvic bench, cervical chair,
    knee-chest tables
  • No drops used
  • Nervoscope and x-ray analysis of spine

7
Thompson
  • Full-spine segmental approach developed by C.
    Thompson
  • Utilizes diversified procedures on an adjusting
    table equipped with drop sections
  • Patient usually prone or supine on the adjusting
    table
  • Extremity joints can also be adjusted

8
Activator
  • Full-spine segmental approach developed by Lee
    Fuhr
  • Uses hand-held, spring-powered adjusting
    instrument
  • Utilizes leg-checks, postural challenges to
    localize subluxation
  • PCC elective

9
Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT)
  • Tonal/segmental approach developed by M.
    Dejarnette
  • One aspect of approach is facilitating CSF flow
  • Use of pelvic blocking procedures
  • Advanced procedures include cranial adjusting
  • PCC elective

10
Logan (Basic) Technique
  • Full-spine postural approach
  • Use of sustained low/light force applied manually
    to the sacrum to level the sacral base
  • PCC elective

11
Applied Kinesiology (AK)
  • Tonal approach developed by Dr. Goodheart
  • Use of muscle testing in analysis
  • Incorporation of nutrition, other complementary
    procedures

12
Pettibon
  • Full-spine structural approach developed by B.
    Pettibon
  • Analytical use of x-ray
  • Variety of procedures utilized, including dynamic
    thrust procedures, spinal traction, specific
    exercises, upper-cervical adjusting

13
Chiropractic Bio-Physics (CBP)
  • Full-spine structural approach developed by D.
    Harrison
  • Similar in many ways to Pettibon

14
Cox (Flexion-Distraction)
  • Low-back disc treatment approach developed by J.
    Cox
  • Utilizes manual or motorized traction applied to
    lumbar region to reduce bulging of lumbar and
    lumbosacral intervertebral discs

15
Motion Palpation
  • A full-spine segmental technique developed by H.
    Gillet and a form of spinal analysis
  • Spinal segments examined manually to localize
    specific joints and directions of motion that are
    restricted/fixated/hypomobile
  • The MP technique also uses adjusting procedures
    to restore motion (mobilization, HVLA, etc)

16
Nimmo Receptor-Tonus
  • Full-spine, extremity soft-tissue approach
    developed by R. Nimmo
  • Analyzes and treats the muscle component of
    subluxation using generally manual treatment
    directed at trigger points and other areas of
    disturbed muscle function

17
Network Spinal Analysis
  • Full-spine tonal approach developed by D. Epstein
  • Utilizes an integration of several different
    techniques to achieve end result of clearing
    patient of neural dysfunction

18
BEST (Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique)
  • Tonal approached developed by M.T. Morter
  • Integrates chemical and emotional components with
    the structural to clear the patient of neural
    dysfunction an energy approach

19
NET (Neuro-Emotional Technique)
  • Tonal approach developed by S. Walker
  • Analysis using muscle testing procedures to
    identify past or present emotional stress links
    to persistent structural patterns/subluxations

20
DNFT (Directional Non-Force Technique)
  • Tonal approach developed by Van Rumpt
  • Utilizes leg check and vertebral/muscle
    challenges to localize subluxations

21
Toftness
  • Tonal/segmental approach developed by I.N.
    Toftness
  • Analyzes for subluxation by attempting to
    identify segments emitting specific frequency of
    electromagnetic radiation
  • Use of device (radiometer) to detect subluxated
    levels
  • Light-force stylus used to adjust

22
Upper Cervical Specific Approaches
  • Palmer Upper Cervical/Toggle Recoil/HIO- BJ
    Palmer
  • Grostic
  • NUCCA- Gregory, Dickholtz
  • AO (Atlas Orthogonality)- R.Sweat
  • Blair
  • Mears
  • Kale/Knee-Chest Upper Cervical
  • Life Cervical
