Logan Basic is a chiropractic technique developed by Hugh Logan, D.C. Dr. Logan believed that health problems are caused by distortions of the body. All distortions of the body ultimately have their origins in distortions of the spinal column. When the body is distorted, strain and abnormal energy flows develop in tissues and organs, causing decreased vitality.
Changes in normal body chemistry also result, as organ physiology is affected and the body's ability to remove waste products through the circulatory system is compromised by strained or flaccid muscles. The body's ability to withstand stress and resist disease is diminished. In Logan Basic, malalignment of the sacrum is believed to be the root cause of all distortions. Returning the sacrum to normal position and to normal articulation with adjacent portions of the pelvis and lumbar spine allows the body to eliminate distortions and return to more normal functioning.
