In regards to Chiropractic and my practice philosophy, I believe that since the bones and joints are so intricately related with muscles, it is difficult to separate them, and treat them separately. Therefore, I believe in trying to relax muscle prior to reassessing the need to an perform adjustment. This seems to work well because by relaxing muscle, there may not be as many areas that need to be adjusted. Also, if there still is an adjustment required, it can be more comfortable for the patient as well as more specific.
