fixation?

[Guest guest]

Dr. McLagan:

Thank you for your efforts to clarify your position.

re: " Healthy, freely moving spinal segments will cavitate whether they

are " fixated " or in " malposition " or not. "

If a spinal segment is 'freely moving and healthy', how can it be

considered to be either 'fixated' or in 'malposition'? Do you discount

existence of localized motor-unit aberrant neural activity, soft tissue

spasm-etc-long identified as a component of the VSC?

re: " I do believe patient get better from manipulation, but I choose to

manipulate for reasons that are obviously different then most of yours "

Would you please explain how you determine when 'healthy freely moving

segments' require manipulation? What characteristics of freely-moving

segments do you identify as requiring manipulation? And once you have

performed that task, how do you evaluate what you have accomplished?

Yours in health,

Jack Pedersen DC
