The spinal therapy by Dorn is used to enable sustained treatment of spinal problems. The patient plays an active roll in this treatment by moving in specific motion to help transfer the vertebras back to their place of origin. During this treatment the therapist also focuses on balancing the position of the pelvic bone, knees and ankles. Also a difference of leg length can be treated. All of these inputs can affect the posture of the spine.
