History of The Specific Adjusting Machine (cont.)
The great majority of the people who present themselves for checking the first time will show a nerve pressure pattern; however, many children do not.
There may be 5% who apply for services who are not accepted because they don't have a nerve pressure pattern.
The x-rays are taken for the purpose of learning the mechanical relationship between the occiput, the atlas and the axis vertebrae. A study of these x-rays reveals the position of these structures and the point of contact where the tip of the adjusting machine should be placed. This program of analysis has been so carefully worked out that the same adjustment can be repeated when necessary.

After the x-rays are studied and the correct analysis has been determined, the patient is adjusted.
About 99% of the cases need to be adjusted on the transverse of the atlas vertebrae. A Differential Temperature Recording is made just prior to the adjustment and immediately following it. These records are marked to show the exact point of contact, the thrust and the depth used in making the adjustment. The record is also date stamped with an electric time clock.
The record comes out of the recording device with the bottom of the cut first. Therefore it is marked with a stamp showing (pre) (before) the adjustment. This is a very rough, irregular, crooked line. Looking upward on the cut, the word (post) or (after) will be seen. Here the Differential Temperature chart is a smoothed-out line. The specific area of interest is the top one-and-one-half inches of each chart.
