A specific chiropractic adjustment is delivered only when nervous system dysfunction is present as indicated by paraspinal thermography. When clinically necessary, a specific adjustment is made to the upper cervical spine to restore integrity within the nervous system. Following the adjustment, the patient undergoes a post-adjustment neural recuperation in a zero-gravity position after which another thermograph is used to confirm that the correction has been made. The correction restores proper communication between the brain and cells throughout the body.
