CHAPTER VII
ADJUSTING IN THE HOME
ONE of the problems that has confronted the profession
is adjusting patients in their homes. The suitcase table, the ironing
board, the piano bench and many other pieces of furniture have been
mustered into service to assist the operator in an effort to relieve the
patient’s suffering. However, notwithstanding the benefit derived
from such instruments in these emergency cases, the equipment has appeared
crude and clumsy to the onlooking relative or neighbor, as also to the
patient, who must suffer the additional punishment of getting out of a
sick bed to have an adjustment.
Now, this is all done away with by the Doctor
who has taken The Buxton Technological Course in Adjusting.
See illustrations on pages 78,
80, 82,
and 84 and follow closely
the technique given. How much more professional the Doctor
appears when he walks to the bedside of a patient, and without any
other assistance but his hands, guided by the knowledge he has acquired,
slipping the hands under the bed covers and placing them in their
chiropractic position, he adjusts the patient and leaves with no
other luggage than himself. Or, if his patient is ill in his
chair, the Doctor performs the same artistic professional service.
See illustration on pages 86
and 100. Or has the
patient stand upon his feet, see illustration on pages 92,
94 and 98.
Or has his patient lean forward against the wall as shown in illustration
on pages 88 and 90.
Hence, the advantage of using a chiropractic adjustment adapted
to any and all circumstances.
