Since Dr. Daniel David Palmer gave Harvey Lillard the first recorded modern correction on September 18, 1895, and restored his hearing, chiropractic and limb correction has been an iconic technique for chiropracticians. Incredibly, spinal nerve rehabilitation education focuses a great deal of time, money, and energy on other aspects of this noble profession, while seemingly completely ignoring the development and improvement of the skills needed to skillfully restore mobility to reduce the normal activity of the joints. Then, when satisfactory results are not obtained, chiropractic medicine is accused of failure, rather than poor execution of correction techniques.
This error stems from the misconception that correction skills are only achieved by trying to correct patients. This hypothesis violates all the laws and principles that apply to other fine sports that are unique to humans, such as pitching, martial arts, or playing golf. If you want to improve the performance of these movements, you must: practice, practice, practice again. Obviously, for any golfer, just playing golf is not enough to improve, although experience is important. You need to get better by constantly hitting thousands of balls until all kinds of swings become part of your subconscious, you never have to think about how to swing to be able to play the ball well, and swinging is exactly what your subconscious will do in that moment. The professional psychomotor skills exhibited by the chiropractic movements are in principle similar to those of this type of movement.
The doctor-patient relationship in chiropractics is like the interaction between pitchers and catchers in baseball. The doctor is the pitcher and the patient is the catcher, and the two must now work together at a harmonious pace to beat dysfunction, illness or pain. The doctor should be able to understand the signs that the patient is giving you so that you can provide the appropriate treatment or throw. A focused and diligent pitcher and a confident catcher win results.
As a rehabilitation professional, your responsibility is to be able to meet the needs of your patients, whether the signals flashed by the patients are conscious or subconscious. To do what suits the needs, you must be sensitive to the patient's condition and physically and psychologically adapt to corrective skills. Your workout regimen should include: balance, coordination, flexibility, endurance, strength, and development and increased hand speed. Your mental training must include expanding your knowledge of the range of possible treatments, not limiting yourself to what you already know, and learning as advanced health principles, human functioning, and emotional release as possible.
