Logan Basic Technique
Dr. Nutter is a certified practitioner of the Logan Basic Technique, a gentle and effective chiropractic method. This technique is based on applying light, sustained pressure to a specific contact point on the sacrum at the base of the spine.
Using the muscular structure surrounding the sacrum as a lever system, the Logan Basic Technique helps balance the entire spinal structure. During treatment, specific segments along the spine are adjusted while maintaining the contact point on the sacrum.
Key Features of Logan Basic Technique
- Low Force Adjustment: The force used is comparable to the amount of pressure that can be comfortably applied to a closed eyelid.
- Gentle and Safe: The adjustment takes only 3-5 minutes and is one of the lowest-force techniques available.
- Ideal for Infants and Small Children: At We Care Chiropractic Center, we use this technique for all infants and young children due to its gentle nature.
Unlike some other chiropractic techniques, the Logan Basic Technique does not require x-rays before treatment, making it especially suitable for younger patients.
For those interested, Logan Chiropractic College, where this technique was developed, is located in Chesterfield, MO.
