I suggest this model as an updated model for optimal chiropractic or other manual care.
Rehabilitation is part of acute and chronic patient care.
The specific rehabilitation movement can be tied into the specific subluxation pattern. Find the pattern, the three-dimensional way that the spine resists moving. Fix it with adjustments and appropriate soft-tissue release and moving the joint through its full range of motion. One of the ideal ways to correct these problems releases the joint fixation, relaxes hypertonic short muscles, and retrains other involved muscles. This is the osteopathic mobilization method, muscle energy or postisometric relaxation applied to the specific joint.
