A long time patient of mine has given me a testimonial regarding her experience with DNFT® Chiropractic in my office. This woman was one of my first clients in my first office and has been seeing me since for regular maintenance visits as needed. I will let her tell her story:

I have a condition called spondylolisthesis (a stress fracture in one of my lumbar vertebra) which has caused me progressively worsening lower back pain since I was 16. I initially sought treatment from a chiropractor who employed “traditional” chiropractic methods. The adjustments themselves caused me pain and never held – I saw no improvement and, in fact, the treatments only aggravated my symptoms and greatly increased my daily level of pain. I became fearful that surgery might be my only option. Then my massage therapist recommended Dr. Leusden to me. To say Dr. Leusden restored my quality of life since he began treating me would be an understatement. In less than 24 hours after my FIRST TREATMENT I was pain-free for the first time in 20 years. The treatments caused me no discomfort and they HELD. And continue to hold. I have been seeing Dr. Leusden for almost 3 years now and have been pain-free ever since that initial visit. Thanks to him and his light-force treatments, I am able to resume activities I previously had to give up, such as camping and gardening. I highly recommend Dr. Leusden to anyone seeking pain-free, lasting corrections.

Gentle chiropractic treatments.

I have been grateful to this client for her faith and confidence in my work. This client’s experience with Spondylolisthesis treatment with DNFT chiropractic is a perfect example of how appropriate the DNFT chiropractic is for conditions as extreme as spondylolisthesis.

When someone considers chiropractic care, there are usually three criteria and expectations:

1. Will the chiropractor be able to find what is my particular problem?
2. Does this chiropractor know how to completely correct and resolve my concerns?
3. How many times will I have to visit this chiropractor to resolve my issue?

Chiropractic for Children in Salt Lake City

I just published a new page on this site all about Directional Non-Force Technique® (DNFT® chiropractic) and children.

Infants, toddlers, pre-tens, preteens, teenagers and beyond consistently take fewer visits than people with more life experience. Typically it is now taking 1-2 visits for infants, toddlers through the early teens to fairly consistently clear their accumulated life stress.

Falls, tumbles, birth process, sports injuries, play injuries call accumulate in their growing bodies. This type of stress can be accurately identified and resolved using DNFT chiropractic. Kids are great too because they hold onto these adjustments and corrections incredibly long.

The first visit with a child address the major issues where ever they are. We have success treating children of all ages for conditions such as:

Specific analysis finding exactly where and when to adjust. Gentle children’s chiropractic, lasting corrections.

• TMJ syndrome, grinding teeth
• Headaches, migraines
• Frequent neck popping, stiffness and complaints
• Mid back, Low back, Hip pain
• Knee, ankle injuries
• Sports injuries
• Play injuries
• idiopathic scoliosis

DNFT chiropractic is able to analyses all related anatomy in what ever area we are testing. Bones, ligaments, muscles, cartilage, fascia, dura mater and more are able to be identified in real time and resolved as it is unfolds. We are able to identify causative patterns and related anatomy and most importantly, we have solutions for our findings.

When we analyze the body in this detail and correct the issues, we create a clean slate effect with areas of injury, stress and trauma. The body is more efficient and stable in a the corrected state and will hold onto these adjustments extremely well. This means fewer visits, gentle adjustments, lasting corrections.

Gentle Chiropractic

Kids respond so well and hold their adjustments so well I give a 50% office visit discount for anyone just born through adult. Fewer visits, Gentle adjustments, Lasting corrections. Free initial consultation.

Kids respond great to this type of work. As do adults also. With children, 1-2 visits is usually all that is needed for a lasting dramatic change. Adults may take 3-5 visits in 8 weeks. More complicated, more layers, more accumulated life stress.

Either way, DNFT chiropractic offers gentle adjustments, lasting corrections and fewer visits. Free initial consultations are always available.

I just finished and posted a web page detailing the second Directional Non-Force Technique® (D.N.F.T.® Chiropractic) office visit.  This treatment oppertunity is usually scheduled within a week of the first visit. In most cases, the majority of the work and adjustments and done during the first appointment has held. There may be times when some residual or deeper layers are revealed within the regions address in the first visit but for the most part, we find the body holds on to the adjustments really well.

Gentle adjustments without joint popping or cracking, lasting corrections

We know we are making progress when we find the only areas needing to be adjusted on the second visit are the areas not revealed on the first visit. This means we pick up exactly where we left off after all the work during the initial visit.

Clinical experience promotes innovation in patient/client care techniques. Facilitating success with a difficult and challenging case can require imagination, patience, humility and objective measurement.

• It takes imagination, research and confidence to develop a novel approach for treating clients who are not responding to your existing technique methods.

• It takes patience to see and measure if the client is responding to your treatment trial.

• It takes humility to acknowledge success and failure.

• It takes objective measurement to truly evaluate the novel technique trial’s effect.

Using the body as an instrument. Short leg post test or challenge indicating “yes.”

How do we know when our chiropractic, osteopathic, naturopathic, medical or acupuncture approach has succeeded in eliminating our dis-ease causing findings?

This abstract and paper proposes a methodology to study a clinically widely used sensory modality inherent in the living body.  Used across health care disciplines, this distinct sensory modality has been used for diagnosing the chiropractic subluxation, acupuncture meridian imbalances, visceral dysfunction, allergies, energetic imbalances, nutritional imbalances  and more. There is very little known regarding the actual body (neurophysiologic) system storing information on how stress is stored and manifesting in the body. Although there exists many different ways to attempt to gather information from this body system’s perspective, there is considerable debate on the validity of the methods used.

Enter the Reactive Leg Reflex test, the core diagnostic test of the chiropractic specialty, Directional Non Force Technique® (DNFT®) [3]. This test has been used specifically with in DNFT chiropractic circles to find how patterns of stress are stored in the body in a language traditionally described as the chiropractic subluxation. This test monitors the body’s other-than-conscious self awareness modality to access how stored stress is manifesting in real-time.

This abstract proposes a novel way to define and answer the basic questions surrounding the phenomena of diagnostic biofeedback or dichotomous neurophysiologic reflex with diagnostic potential. The unanswered questions surrounding this phenomena are where anatomically this information resides. Another relevant question is the mechanism of diagnostic biofeedback using a someone as a surrogate to analyze another person, a phenomena observed and relied upon in clinical settings across health care disciplines.

The Reactive Leg Reflex test has the potential to answer these questions.

There will not be a test at the end …!

Surface EMG and the Reactive Leg Reflex: a Proposed Methodology to Evaluate a Dichotomous Neurophysiologic Reflex with Diagnostic Potential.

Jonathan Leusden, D.C.

Abstract:

Introduction: Various methods of patient evaluation using diagnostic biofeedback exist which attempt to gather dichotomous (“yes” verses “no”, strong verses weak) information from the patient’s body regarding neurophysiologic states, chiropractic subluxation, disease and pre-clinical conditions and causes [1,2,5,6,11]. This type of analysis is theoretically monitoring a distinct sensory modality dedicated to information regarding stored stress patterns and states. There are conflicting views on the validity of manual muscle testing and other dichotomous neurophysiologic diagnostic biofeedback tests currently used in fields such as chiropractic, osteopathy, neurology, naturopathy, dentistry, psychiatry and others [4,7,8,9,10]. This paper proposes a methodology to study this phenomenon in a relatively objective manner using two case study sEMG data sets with qualitative analysis as examples. The core diagnostic test of a chiropractic technique, Directional Non-Force Technique®(DNFT®) uses a test described as the DNFT “Reactive Leg Reflex ™ ” (RLR) that according to protocol, indicates presence or absence of subluxation as well as directions of correction [1,3]. The RLR procedure has inherent qualities such as subject testing passivity, and test procedure consistency which make this test a good candidate for studying the neurophysiologic biofeedback phenomena. The methodology herein offers a proof of concept to evaluate this clinically utilized and academically understudied sensory feedback modality.

Methods: Surface electromyography (sEMG) and associated software [14] were used to record analogous muscle tone changes associated with the dichotomous RLR test result observed clinically during a DNFT chiropractic analysis. Audio of the analysis was matched with the sEMG data stream to identify sEMG patterns specific for testing aspects and test result. A third party marked test initiation and test conclusion with a parallel data channel using a DC marker allowing audio and sEMG data alignment and qualitative analysis. Subject 1’s data set includes testing of anatomic structures for stored stress patterns (chiropractic subluxation) and test result. Subject 2’s data set includes testing of structures, test results and Directional Non-Force Technique chiropractic adjustment of two identified (via the RLR) subluxated structures: left meniscus and left tibialis anterior muscle. Resulting sEMG data patterns were then analyzed qualitatively.

Results: Subject 1’s data set includes distinct sEMG patterns correlating to aspects of the RLR test including test initiation, duration of test, and end of test. Distinct sEMG markers identifying dichotomous “yes” verses “no” responses are also discussed. Subject 2’s data set includes distinct markers for RLR test initiation, duration and end of test as well as an unexpected electrocardiograph (ECG) artifact measured in the sEMG monitored quadriceps muscles. The observed ECG artifact appears after a left meniscus adjustment and increases in amplitude and frequency. During and after a left anterior tibialis muscle adjustment, the ECG artifact disappears from the data stream.

Conclusion: The methods and findings described herein offer a proof of concept methodology to study and identify aspects of neurophysiologic diagnostic biofeedback utilized across heath care professions. Continued research using this methodology with quantitative and quantitative analysis of sEMG, EEG, MEG and fMRI data could answer current unknowns regarding the anatomic location and neurologic mechanisms associated with this clinically utilized but understudied diagnostic sensory modality.

The following elements of an alternative health care office are, in my opinion, the future of healing. These two key elements are linked with cause and effect. When looking for value in a chiropractic or alternative health care office, look here:

1. Using your body as a real-time diagnostic feedback instrument
2. Progressive visits.

Applied Kinesiology active muscle strength testing with therapy localization.

Real-Time diagnostic feedback instrument: many different testing methods have been used to find out from someone’s body certain physiologic conditions and causes. For example, Applied Kinesiology (AK) uses specific muscle tests to evaluate organ function, spinal level subluxations, allergies, acupuncture meridian states, and more. AK uses an active muscle strength test meaning the subject is actively resisting during the muscle test. This type of testing can be very valuable in verifying and demonstrating how a stressor affects your body. The limitation to this type of testing comes in when about 15 or more questions or challenges are tested with the same muscle. Subject or client fatigue can begin to make the testing results less accurate.

Another type of muscle testing (passive muscle testing) uses the same feedback system inherent in your body yet is able to test the body without the subject actively resisting. This creates a situation where the practitioner can ask many more questions and body challenges without the client or subject becoming fatigued. This also allows us to gather extremely detailed information on exactly how a stressor is affecting your system. For example, five hundred plus questions can be tested without any loss in accuracy or the client becoming fatigued.

Dr Leusden using the client’s body as an instrument. Passive muscle test.

This type of testing is monitoring a full body response which we think relates to a unique system your body has which constantly monitors your accumulated stress state. The response can be viewed with any two analogous muscles. The most efficient way to test while a client is laying face down or face up is through a test called the Reactive Leg Reflex, the core diagnostic test of Directional Non Force Technique® (DNFT®) chiropractic which is viewed at the feet. A dynamic leg length change happens with a “yes” answer verses a “no” answer. This is a much different test than testing for a anatomic or functional short leg. Each time the feet are checked, the observer can objectively view a yes or no answer specific to what is happening within your body at that moment.

Using the body as a real-time diagnostic instrument can provide answers to many types of causative factors including:

• structural injury storage, chiropractic subluxations (DNFT® chiropractic)
• nutritional deficiencies,
• emotional patterns,
• organ weakness or support,
• energetic imbalance,
• acupuncture meridian imbalance,

How deep the rabbit hole goes is client specific and dependent on if a practitioner is familiar with the subject being tested and client willingness to investigate related and associated aberrant health causative factors.

Overall, you should notice your practitioner finding progressive causative factors affecting your health. What is addressed one visit holds, and deeper underlying issues are revealed each visit:

Progressive Visits: This means each visit picks up where previous visits leave off. True health care and chiropractic value exists when a practitioner can find an issue, identify the causative factors and resolve that issue. When the core cause of an issue is identified, resolving this completely does something profound for the body: the body actually prefers to be in a corrected state. No longer does the body need to hold onto and compensate for a injury, trauma or repetitive stress. Increased body system efficiency takes over and all the energy the body had spent on compensating and dealing with the accumulated stress turns towards healing and repair.

With any health care practitioner, you want to be aware of continual benefit. This is an knowing beyond the process of chiropractic retracing or the Naturopathic/Homeopathic principal of Hering’s law where you may have a return of old symptoms as your layers of accumulated injury and dysfunction are addressed. You know and experience health improvement in broad categories such as physical, mental and social well being.

Salt Lake City Chiropractic Value

Time is valuable and when you are ready for help, you want to see someone who can find the problem, fix the issue and provide a lasting solution at a reasonable cost. If this can be done in just a few visits, it means less overall cost, less time spent going to a doctor’s office and longer time periods between maintenance visits.

The upper cervical spine is a key to fluid and clear spine.

Salt Lake Neck Pain Treatment

Migraines, TMJ syndrome, headaches, upper neck pain and many more symptoms have causes chiropractors have traditionally addressed by adjusting the upper cervical spine. The Atlas vertebrae (holding your head on your spine) is a key to the entire spine being mobile, fluid and clear of restriction.

Whiplash injuries, sports trauma and more can cause upper cervical stored stress. Your body will compensate for the injury which can often produce a wide range of symptoms. There is a solution and it is to get your head on straight…

You’ll know if this work can help after the first visit!

Here’s how:

There are many methods or approaches to the upper neck. Chiropractors, osteopaths, naturopaths, and massage therapists can all claim an answer to the upper cervical spine complex. Their treatments approaches are varied and can be overwhelming and intimidating for clients and patients.

An approach that is logical, extremely financially reasonable, safe and gentle is available in the Salt Lake CIty area and may be just what you are looking for. Imagine being able to identify exactly how your upper neck is misaligned in real time. This means uncovering any compensations and revealing the deep primary issue unique to your own body without x-rays and without MRIs.

Using a sophisticated passive muscle test called the Reactive Leg Reflex, we are able to identify exactly how stress injury, and trauma is stored in your body. By using a reflex inherent in your body and gives accurate, consistent and sensitive information we can find the causative problem without x-rays or other expensive tests.

Specific analysis finding exactly where and when to adjust. Gentle children’s chiropractic, lasting corrections.

Once the issue is identified, we can resolve the stored trauma, injury and stress with very light force adjustments without joint popping, cracking or twisting. This method is called Directional Non Force Technique® and over the last 80 years, this chiropractic technique has been refined and improved to offer unprecedented analysis detail and lasting adjustments.

Typically, it takes 2-3 initial visits in about 4-5 weeks to clear out stored stress, injury and trauma throughout the body. Each visit picks up where previous visit leave off because the body actually prefers to be in a corrected state. This means fewer visits and more time to enjoy a clear and fluid spine.

Scoliosis example. Dr. Leusden does not use x-rays for his analysis or as a treatment basis

Just finished a page covering DNFT ® chiropractic and idiopathic scoliosis. Many people notice a shoulder imbalance, hip imbalance or spinal curve when they bend at the waist. Often idiopathic scoliosis is diagnosed as a child or teenager. Treatment options can vary from restrictive braces, endless exercises and stretches or spinal fusion. There are very few treatment options which offer often dramatic results in just a few office visits gently and with lasting effect.

I have been fortunate to have had significant success with clients diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis either when they are still a child or teenager or later in life. Typically, the most dramatic changes in spinal curves can happen when the client is younger although people of all ages have benefited form this type of chiropractic technique.

Usually, the initial course of care includes an initial consultation, treatment, and then a follow up appointment about a week later. We then give the spine and body about two weeks to adjust to the changes made. Another follow up appointment after a couple weeks allows us to see how well the spine is accommodating to the adjustments. At this point, an additional follow up appointment is recommended for two to six months later for further evaluation. The holding power of these specific gentle adjustments is relatively much longer than other adjustment or manipulating approaches. This is due to the specific analysis and real-time detail available using the Reactive Leg Reflex. This testing method allow us to identify the exact stress patterns stored in the spine, pelvis and cranium causing a scoliosis condition. The body actually prefers the corrected state and can hold onto the changes made potentially indefinitely.

DNFT chiropractic is a great complement to allopathic and physical therapy scoliosis treatment and monitoring.

The benefits to this approach are simple: fewer treatment visits, lasting gentle corrections (spinal adjustments), all with less overall treatment cost. This also provides significantly less overall stress around a scoliosis diagnosis for the client, family and friends.

Visiting Spartanburg, South Carolina and Sherman College of Chiropractic’s campus last weekend has been a great experience. I heard some very passionate presenters and dedicated researchers presenting and clarifying the next phase of chiropractic research, philosophy, and our professional outlook.

This conference was a also a great chance to present my work on the Reactive Leg Reflex as a relatively objective diagnostic biofeedback tool monitoring subluxation identification and resolution. Unfortunately, I ran out of time for my presentation block and had to quickly cover some of the future directions this research could take. The feedback I did get was positive and constructive.

2010 IRAPS, moving forward confidently

A special thanks to event organizers and presenters, Missy Sandor, Drs. William Decken,  John Hart, and college president Jon Schwartzbauer, D.C. Their hard work and dedication to subluxation based chiropractic and providing a forum for constructive discussion is appreciated beyond words.

I learned some important lessons through this process and the presentations by Drs Rob Sinnott, Eric Russell, Matthew McCoy, Christopher Kent, Pamela Snider and others have clarified and renewed my personal research direction. Many thanks for their continued dedication and hard work.
