Step 1

This test requires two bathroom scales. Make sure both weight-bearing surfaces are level.

Step 2

With eyes closed, have the test subject tilt their head up and down, and then left and right, settling to a comfortable, neutral position. Record the scale readings for each leg

Left leg: _______ Right leg: ________

Step 3

To eliminate the variance between the scales, reverse their positions and repeat the test.

Left leg: _______ Right leg: ________

Assessment
  1. Average the findings of the left leg by adding both left leg readings and dividing by two.
  2. Average the results for the right leg by adding both readings and dividing by two.
  3. A difference greater than 5 lbs between both legs is significant. Contact Guarino Family Chiropractic and make an appointment today.

Dr. Edgar Asks some important questions of interest to Lancaster residents - Chiropractor Lancaster Dr. Edgar Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.
