Chiropractic adjustment involves the application of controlled force to spinal joints or other body parts exhibiting restricted movement or improper function. Identifying the precise location for this intervention is fundamental to effective chiropractic care. This determination relies on a multifaceted assessment process integrating several diagnostic tools and clinical observations.
Accurate localization of dysfunctional areas is paramount for patient safety and therapeutic efficacy. Pinpointing the specific segments or joints requiring attention avoids unnecessary manipulation of healthy tissue. The process draws upon a rich history of anatomical understanding and refinement of diagnostic techniques within the chiropractic profession.
