Dr. Fred Clary's Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique

I have heard it said many times—only by chiropractors—that an adjustment could never do harm or damage. But this does not follow the theory that if the chiropractic adjustment can be a powerful force for health improvement, then it can also have deleterious effects if improperly applied. The pain may abate at L5 but do we know for sure that we have not caused non-physiological neurophysiological partitioning of energy elsewhere? Neurophysiological partitioning is the shunting of available ATP and energy resources from one functional area of the CNS to the currently most important component of the brain. Did we get rid of the LBP but cause the patient heart arrhythmias months later? Did we leave the patients basic physiological processes (breathing, heart rate, blood pressure) in an improved state after each adjustment?
