Major Adjustment
When a chiropractor is called to see a child that is having convulsions he should make a very careful inquiry into the history of the case and try to find the associated incoördination. This is done for the purpose of determining the combination to be used. The major for location will be atlas or axis, while the combination will depend upon the associated condition. This may be K.P. or it may be S.P. or any other combination which would include the subluxation for condition.
Excellent results are obtained in cases of convulsions. The adjustment should be given as soon as possible. In many cases an adjustment of the atlas or axis will bring the child to consciousness and prevent a recurrence of the attack. The convulsion may be caused by an atlas subluxation with no accompanying condition. This is known as a direct convulsion and will respond very quickly to an adjustment.
