Major Adjustment
Since there seems to be no particular indication of indigestion or impaired functions, and no pathological changes, it is evident that the function involved is that of motor. But regardless of the primary function that is interfered with a subluxation will be found at S. P. and in most cases there will be a hot box during the acute attack. The vertebra most commonly subluxated is the sixth dorsal. In most cases there is no combination and results will be obtained in a very short time by adjusting nothing but the S.P. subluxation. In the severe cases it may be necessary to adjust as often as once every six hours until the vomiting ceases. Ordinarily the vomiting will cease in a short time and in most cases marked improvement will be noted after the first adjustment.
Vomiting occurs in gastric indigestion, intussusception, meningitis, peritonitis, pyloric stenosis, uremic poisoning, and in many other acute incoördinations.
