So, where did that analogy come from? The idea is when you see an iceberg there is only about 30% of it visible above the water. The quote in my office says,”Symptoms are misleading, we find the hidden cause.” Typical questions in my office are,”my pain is in my low back, so why are you adjusting my neck,” or,”the pain is on the right, so why are you adjusting on the left.” The adjustment technique I use has a an entire analysis method of where the body needs the adjustment. It uses the tone of the body or tension which works on the level of the nervous system. To do it we look at the length of your legs while you are lying face down, which should be even unless you have had a broken a leg bone or as we call it, have an acquired short leg. What I look at is the functional short leg, which means your leg is shorter on one side because your skeleton is out of place or not positioned properly. With arm movements, head movements, or other body positions we are able to challenge areas of your spine. If your leg length changes in certain positions then that will correlate to a problem in a certain area of the spine. It is scientifically based and many scientific studies have been done to establish this evaluation method. It has been around since the 70’s and it is called Activator Method Chiropractic.
