There is a video circulating on the Internet that features someone receiving a chiropractic adjustment on the top bone in their neck. The adjustment is commonly known as a toggle recoil or upper cervical specific chiropractic adjustment. The technique used to be taught at the Palmer school of chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.

This particular video has a woman lying on her side, with her head resting on a movable head piece. Watching the video, you see that the chiropractor fields around at the top of the person’s neck, and the base of her skull. He makes a contact in the area just below her mastoid process with the pisiform of his adjusting hand. Most of the video shows the chiropractor “setting up” on the patient, with the adjustment taking all but a fraction of a second.

If the video embeds properly, you should be able to watch it here on this page. If you click through to Google video make sure you vote for the video so others can know whether it’s worth watching.
