Instead the chiropractor locks his body in place, and the force comes fr om from the shoulders by contracting the head of the triceps muscle. To call it subtle would be an understatement. I observed the procedure being performed on a number of patients, and interviewed them before and after. Several of the leg-length discrepancies were originally around an inch. Most patients were coming I for a semi-annual or annual checkup, although one had been involved in an automobile accident three days earlier.
Patients say they feel only a very sight pressure and the warmth of the hand on their neck.
There was no deflection of the patient's head or neck during the procedure, nor w as there an audible sound. Afterward, the leg lengths were even, and the thermographs showed consistent temperatures on both sides of the spine. The patients reported feeling immediate relief. The reduced strain in the face of the auto accident victim was obvious. Patients told me of not only a reduction in the symptoms of body aches, but generally improved overall health.
