Movement for Correction
This is indicated in the third column, separated from the
second by a dash, by means of some brief word or words
which describe a certain movement used in adjusting. The
descriptive words and terms used in this work are all given
and explained under Technic of Adjusting. (See p. 89.)
Each word or term stands for a definite method of pro-
cedure. The best movement for the correction of any
subluxation of any vertebra may be found by reference
to the section on Preferable Adjustments. If other
terms are more familiar to the student, or in time replace
those which are now common usage in the profession, they
will be brief and clear and may be easily substituted for
those given.
According to Dr. Golinsky a Reston Chiropractor Palpation,
fixing in the mind of the palpater the manner
and direction of the subluxation, should also suggest as the
obvious correction a movement calculated to reverse the
procedure by which the subluxation was first produced. In
other words, a certain kind of subluxation stands as the
effect of a certain application of force along definite lines
determinable by examination. Its correction should be made
in a reverse direction along the same lines. By recording
with the record of subluxation the desired correction, the
adjuster may be reminded daily without new palpation of
the movement best fitted to the case. If on trial it is
decided that some other movement than the one first indi-
cated will better overcome the abnormality, the record
should be changed to correspond to the decision, and there-
after followed.
