Tytron Pattern Analysis

Palmer Upper Cervical/Toggle Recoil..Drs. Bhogal and Strazewski

Patient has had a minimum of three readings taken (preferably 8 hours between readings) and a pattern

has been established (pick one of the three readings as the pattern). Adjustment made on that day.

On subsequent visits, the reading from today is compared to the established pattern.

Do all three lines (Delta & DTs) appreciably match?

Adjust Patient

Are all three lines

appreciably different?

NO pattern, NO

adjustment rendered.

Are 2 out of the

three appreciably

the same (partial

pattern)?

Do a significant

number of

secondary* findings

show subluxation?

No adjustment rendered.

Using weighted criteria** for

secondary findings, doctor must

make a decision. Unless strong

subluxation showing of all criteria,

doctor should not adjust.

Do a significant

number of

secondary* findings

show subluxation?

YES

Using weighted criteria ** for

secondary findings, doctor

should lean towards adjusting

unless no secondary findings

are present.

*Secondary findings are: fossa, leg checks, palpation, and symptomatology.

**Fossa has most weight (approximately 40%).

Leg check and palpation are second level weight (approximately 25% each).

Symptomatology has least weight (approximately 10%).

While the Tytron readings are first and foremost, the doctor should consider all information available.
