Chiropractic Care: The detection and correction of Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC), liberating your brain and nervous system, allowing you to heal, naturally, to function at a higher level, to more fully express your genetic potential. (You thought that this was just for pain relief. You were seriously misled.)
A sophisticated combination of chiropractic techniques. No physical therapy modalities are used here at The Harte of Chiropractic.
Directional Non-Force Technique (DNFT): the basis of THE HARTE METHOD. It is a very low-force method, even suitable for newborns, the very elderly, and post-surgical patients. Every point of nerve interference, known as a Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC), is analyzed and then adjusted in at least three planes of motion. Spinal discs, when indicated, are evaluated and adjusted. In addition, within DNFT, extremities (knees, hips, etc., including those with so-called "bone-on-bone" conditions) and cranial bones (including the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ) are analyzed and adjusted as necessary.
Upper Cervical Specific Technique: Analysis and adjustment, as required, of the first two vertebrae, the atlas and the axis, and the occiput, the base of the skull, the "main switch" of the spine. Adjustments are swift and specific, and without discomfort.
Logan Basic: Very gentle analysis and adjustment of the sacrum, the base of the spine.
Columbia Technique: Only taught at New York Chiropractic College, which, essentially, does not exist anymore. Direct, fast adjustment of vertebrae, especially useful when a subluxation is hypomobile (stuck).
I deal with the interference. In my opinion, chiropractors who rely on outdated methods, such as old-fashioned ultrasound and heat, as well as newer treatments like laser therapy, shockwave machines, and disc decompression tables, are missing a crucial aspect of chiropractic: correcting nerve interference, specifically the Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC). None of these gadgets does anything to move a bone or to correct nerve interference.
