Chiropractic: Specific Lower Extremity Adjusting and Improved Performance

Patrick Clinch

Any research that documents the importance of movement and exercise also validates the chiropractic adjustment. Dr. Patrick Clinch BS, DC. Studies suggest that chiropractic adjustments alter cortical somatosensory processing and sensorimotor integration. This helps to explain the mechanisms responsible for effective relief of pain and restoration of functional ability documented following a chiropractic adjustment. A neuroplasticity model for the subluxation is the one most supported by evidence. A subluxation primarily is a central segmental motor control problem that is causing maladaptive central neural changes. Chiropractic correction of a subluxation has a positive neural plastic effect. It improves communication between the brain and body and therefore the organism’s interaction with its environment. 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 It is well documented that lower extremity biomechanics effects function of the body as a whole. 1, 2, 3, 7, 8,9,11, 12, 14, 15 Quantitative studies are one way to provide documentation to support hypotheses; however, they are not the only way. Qualitative research, which includes case studies utilizing direct observation and interview also provide such documentation. Personal or corporate historical events, birth, death, etc… can only be proven with I-witness accounts because, and such events are not reproducible in a laboratory setting. There is no reason to doubt the integrity of these I-witness accounts and first-hand observations. The creditability of second or third hand criticism separated from the facts chronologically and geographically is questionable. It is well demonstrated in these 3 cases and numerous others that exclusive use of lower extremity (RIAT) (HVLA) adjustments improved athletic performance, corrected residual mechanical imbalances from surgery and other injuries and proved to be significantly effective
