"I would like to demonstrate today what an upper back or thoracic adjustment is like. This patient has been suffering with some upper back and some neck tightness, stiffness and a lot of tightness between the shoulder blades. She happens to sit at a desk most of the day and as anyone can see or feel when they sit at a desk most of the day, they are going to have some of these symptoms. The way that we have been working on her we will first evaluate her spine to see where the problems are, check for motion mobility, how she moves freely or not, check for inflammation and muscle spasms in the back and come up with a treatment plan and then treat her. Today I am going to demonstrate for you how we adjust very gently the upper cervical or the upper thoracic spine. I am going to come around the table. I am going to gently cross her arms, lean her back and very gently, little bit of pressure just like that. Relax your muscles now. How does that feel. Very good. Pretty good. Yeah. That is an upper thoracic adjustment. For more information, you can visit us at www.waynechiropractichealthcare.com."

on 8/2/2008 Scientifically there is nothing to Chiropractic procedures. Not one lagit medical study has ever been able to show that these procedures do anything. Please people, if you have a medical condition, see a real doctor, not one of these fraudsters.
