Method for normalizing the spine
Disclosed is a method of normalizing a spine of an individual including identifying a first point on the spine that exhibits the greatest degree of spinal misalignment and the hemisphere of the misalignment. A second point on the back of the individual is identified using a measuring device to measure along the spine a calculated distance specific to the individual. The second point on the back is then translated to the front of the individual opposite the second point to identity a third point. Application of therapeutic treatment near the third point normalizes the spine. In one embodiment, the distance is calculated by dividing the height of the individual by eight.
1. A method of normalizing the spine of an individual, the individual having a height from a top of the head to soles of the feet, a front and a back the method comprising:
identifying a first point on the spine where the spine exhibits a greatest degree of spinal misalignment;
identifying a hemisphere of misalignment at the first point;
calculating a distance by dividing the height of the individual from the top of the head to the soles of the feet by eight;
using a ruler, measuring along the spine on the back approximately the distance away from the first point to locate a second point on the back;
translating the second point on the back of the individual to a third point on the front of the individual;
locating a treatment area proximate to the third point and in the hemisphere of misalignment;
applying a therapeutic treatment to the treatment area to normalize the spine.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying the first point on the spine by observing the spine of the individual and identifying where the spine is exhibiting the greatest degree of misalignment.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first point on the spine is identified when the individual is lying face down.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying the hemisphere of misalignment at the first point by observing a direction the spine is misaligned at the first point.
5. The method of claim 2 , further comprising identifying the hemisphere of misalignment at the first point by observing the direction the spine is misaligned at the first point.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third point on the front of the individual is directly opposite the second point on the back of the individual.
7. The method of claim 2 , wherein the third point on the front of the individual is directly opposite the second point on the back of the individual.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying the first point on the spine by observing the spine of the individual and identifying where the spine is exhibiting the greatest degree of misalignment.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first point on the spine is identified when the individual is lying face down.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying the hemisphere of misalignment at the first point by observing a direction the spine is misaligned at the first point.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third point on the front of the individual is directly opposite the second point on the back of the individual.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the treatment area exhibits soreness and the therapeutic treatment to the treatment area reduces the soreness.
13. A method of normalizing the spine of an individual, the individual having a height from a top of the head to soles of the feet, a front and a back, the method comprising:
identifying a first point on the spine where the spine exhibits a greatest degree of spinal misalignment;
identifying a hemisphere of misalignment at the first point;
calculating a distance by dividing the height of the individual from the top of the head to the soles of the feet by eight;
using a ruler, measuring along the spine on the back approximately the distance away from the first point to locate a second point on the back;
translating the second point on the back of the individual to a third point on the front of the individual;
locating a treatment area proximate to the third point and in the hemisphere of misalignment, wherein the treatment area exhibits soreness;
manipulating the treatment area to reduce the soreness and to normalize the spine.
14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising interacting with the individual to confirm the location of the treatment area by evaluating a degree of soreness at the third point.
15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising manipulating the treatment area until the soreness subsides.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the third point on the front of the individual is directly opposite the second point on the back of the individual.
17. The method of claim 13 , further comprising identifying the first point on the spine by observing the spine of the individual and identifying where the spine is exhibiting the greatest degree of misalignment.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the first point on the spine is identified when the individual is lying face down.
19. The method of claim 13 , wherein the third point on the front of the individual is directly opposite the second point on the back of the individual.
