There is only one circumstance where chiropractor can put the bone where he thinks it belongs, and that is when the patient is a cadaver.
How about a manipulation while under anesthesia?
Interesting – however we know that not all innate function is negated by general anesthesia (respiratory and cardiac muscles still function for example). We also know that the muscles that most intimately effect inter-segmental relationships are under extra-pyramidal control, and are essentially handled by the brain like involuntary or visceral functions. So when under anesthesia, these muscles may still be on-line. Maybe.
SN. The fact that the paraspinal muscles that influence vertebral inter-segmental positioning are not a part of the pyramidal, voluntary motor system is an example of how critical it is to life that inter-segmental positioning is optimized at all times, and how it is indeed too intricate an equation to be left up to the educated mind.
