Definitions
Vertebral Adjusting is the art of correcting by hand the malpositions of subluxated vertebrae.
A Vertebral Adjustment, strictly speaking, should mean the complete restoration of normal relation between previously subluxated vertebrae. As used in Chiropractic, it means either a partial or complete restoration of such normal relation.
Maladjustment, as used in the profession, designates any movement of vertebrae by hand which produces or increases subluxation.
