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.

Here’s another chiropractic video of someone getting adjusted in Los Angeles, California. Young female lies facedown on a chiropractor’s table, gets her legs checked (look at those high heels) and gets her low back and then rest of her spine adjusted.

The chiropractor uses a table called a drop table which is often referred to as either drop technique or Thompson technique. While the table makes some noise it’s a very gentle technique that is designed to allow energy to move through the person being adjusted so that they don’t take on the force of adjustment sometimes resulting in soreness afterwards.

There are many different ways to do leg length checks and in this video the chiropractor does something called a functional leg assessment and he also has the patient turning her head to the left and to the right observing for rotation or misalignment in the upper cervical spine, which would affect the length of the patient’s legs when turning the head.
