Chiropractic “Name Techniques”: A Review of the Literature

Gleberzon BJ J Can Chiropr Assoc2000;45(2): 86-99

In this article, a review of the literature on “Name Techniques” was conducted, with interpretation and synthesis by the author. One hundred and eleven articles were found. These were: technique discussions (N=39), case studies (N=25), case series (N=5), experimental studies (N=25) and clinical trials (N=17). The literature suggested that prone leg length testing and some x-ray mensurations may have acceptable inter and intra-rater reliability. In addition there are several case studies that reported significant clinical benefits by patients receiving Activator, Alexander, and Upper Cervical treatments. Patients also reported improvements in quality of life while under either Upper Cervical or Network Spinal Analysis care. This information may help develop professional practice guidelines, and it may have implications for chiropractic research and education. In this paper amongst other techniques evaluated the researchers were able to find 11 SOT articles for review.
