Principles and practice of spinal adjustment; for the use of students and practitioners . Fig. Pisiform-Transverse Hold. CERVICAL 333. Fig. 71. Teinporo-Cpntruiii Hold. 334 SPINAL ADJUSTMENT process which is displaced forward; the other hand graspsthe wrist of the contact hand. In order to facilitate the ob-taining of the proper contact the patients face is turned awayfrom the contact point on the vertebra to be adjusted. Method of delivery.—The thrust is directed directly back-ward. This relieves the contraction of the ligaments on thisside and permits the vertebra to return to its proper must be remembered in this connection that when a ver-tebra is rotated upon its axis it may be due to a contractionof the ligaments of one side drawing the corresponding sideof the vertebra backward; or it may be a contraction of theligaments on the other side which draws that side of thevertebra forward. In either case the vertebra is rotated inexactly the same direction, and only the contraction of theligaments will serve to distinguish between them. In thelatter form this hold is therefore necessary. This hold is i
