Principles and practice of spinal adjustment; for the use of students and practitioners . Fig. Extension Hold II. 362 SPINAL ADJUSTMENT. Fig. Recoil (Palmer). THORACIC VERTEBRAE 363 approximation or compression subluxation the contact of theheel of the hand is with the superior surface of tiie spinousprocess when the vertebra is superiorly approximated, andwith the inferior surface of the tip of the spinous processwhen the vertebra is inferiorly approximated. The wrist ofthe contact hand is grasped by the other hand. Method of delivery.—The fingers of the contact hand ex-tend along the patients spine, and the arm of the contacthand is perfectly straight and rigid. In a posterior subluxa-tion the force of the thrust is directed directly downward,perpendicularly to the patients back. When the vertebra isapproximated superiorly, the force of the thrust is directedtoward the sacrum; when the vertebra is approximated withthe one below it, the force of the thrust is directed towardthe head of the patient. This hold is illustrated in Fig. 86. The Sacro-Spinous Hold.—Indications.—This is not a spe-cific method of
