Techniques Flashcards
Segmental Clinical Approach
subluxation is describe in terms of alterations in specific intervertebral motion segments
Postural/Structural Clinical Approach
subluxation is seen as a postural and or motion distortion of whole spine (closed kinetic chain)
Tonal Clinical Approach
view the spine and nervous system as a functional unit; goal is to clear the patient functionally
