What is Regional Synchronization (A.K.A. The McArthur Method)
Regional Synchronization is a system of promoting a plumb state to the body’s frame by synchronizing the three body regions. The plumb state is defined as the body’s correct anatomical position relative to the gravitational plumb line that passes downward through the body’s center. Each region is synchronized by correcting subluxated bones with their balance partners, referred to as couplings, that have deviated from plumb which are indicated by a short leg syndrome, x-ray (when available), and patient posture observation. These couplings are corrected using established chiropractic manipulative techniques.
What it is not:
Regional Synchronization, also known as “The McArthur Method,” is not a new technique. This system is designed to enhance the doctor’s awareness of what and where to treat, not how to treat it. Whatever practical means doctors have to correct the problem is at their discretion. Multiple techniques may be employed to achieve the eventual correction. The beauty of this method is that it can be incorporated into your practice with little if any patient resistance.
How and why it works:
What makes this method fascinating is its binary approach to balance management. The body’s balance mechanism is managed by the same life force that manages all body functions. This force flows directionally from above down and from the inside out. The directional flow of balance coincides from top to bottom, left to right and front to back. Balance by definition involves a minimum of two objects. When a group of multiple objects are balancing another group of objects of equal value (such as the case in the human skeleton), each component (bone) of a given group balances only with its counterpart in the opposing group. In the human body, balance responses occur automatically under the management of that omnipresent life force that many chiropractors refer to as innate intelligence. During this phenomenon, when a bone deviates from plumb, it automatically engages at least one other bone to compensate and maintain balance. The McArthur Method recognizes this and has devised a comprehensive system of identifying both the primary and compensating bones and includes both in the correction process. What and where to adjust is determined from a unique interpretation of the standard leg check, used widely by chiropractors, along with x-ray and postural observation. How it is corrected is up to the doctor. Any single or combination of techniques can deliver results.
NOTE TO PHYSICIANS: The McArthur Method can be learned and continuing education credits obtained through our seminars. Please see our “Seminar Syllabus” and “Seminar Schedule” and “Seminar Registration Form” links for details.
