the fingers down along the spine, slowly and firmly. If you find any tender
joints you will know that some of the nerves emerging from the spinal column
are congested, and that some organ or part is suffering by reason thereof. If
you notice a point much colder or warmer than the neighboring points you
will know that there is some muscular contraction in the spinal region, which
is affecting the circulation of the nerve centres, thereby causing pain and
abnormal action in some part of the body reached by the nerve. Remember
these points so that you may treat them specially by careful manipulation
and stimulating vibration. Then turn the patient over on his back and pass
the hands over the entire body, in turn, noting all contraction, tender spots,
swellings, etc.
Begin the actual general treatment by giving him a thorough spinal
treatment as follows: Manipulate gently and carefully the entire length of the
spinal column or back-bone, beginning at the neck, and working downward
gradually, paying particular attention to the tender spots, or the points
evidencing cold or heat, as before stated. First, work down one side of the
spine, and then the other, manipulating carefully at each point. Then give
him a vibration treatment along the spine, finishing with a gentle stroking,
which will be found very soothing.
Then give him a Neck Treatment, as follows: Begin by a thorough kneading
of the muscles of the back part of the neck, and a gentle manipulation of the
throat. This treatment tends to render free and equal the circulation to and
from the brain.
Then manipulate the shoulders and arms, in succession, finishing by
stroking the arm from the shoulder down to the finger-tips.
Then manipulate the chest and back, and sides, in succession, finishing
always with a Stroking. Apply Vibrations whenever the same seems advisable
and comfortable to the patient. Apply percussion to the solid parts of the
body when you deem it advisable.
Then give the legs the same treatment that you have given the arms,
finishing always with Stroking.
