Organization's Description: Developed by Logan College founder H.B. Logan, DC, Logan Basic is one
of the lowest-force adjustive techniques. The technique is based on
light, sustained force exerted against a specific contact point on the
sacrum at the base of the spine. Auxiliary contacts at various points
in the spine, or along specific muscles such as the piriformus, also
can be used. Basic Technique uses the muscular structure surrounding
the sacrum as a lever system for balancing the entire structure of the
spine.
Integral to use of Logan Basic Technique is the Logan System of Body
Mechanics. Dr. Logan’s system of calculating compensatory mechanisms,
that occur as a result of postural distortions and correction of those
distortions, also serves as a foundation for overall understanding of
spinal biomechanics that can be applied using virtually any adjusting
technique.
