What is the Logan basic technique?

The Logan basic technique is a gentle, low-force chiropractic method that focuses on the sacrum, the shield-shaped bone that links your spine and pelvis.

This technique is so specialized and unique that fewer than 3 in 10 chiropractors have the advanced knowledge and training to perform it in their practice. 

At Foundation of Health Chiropractic Center, Dr. Rardin has that advanced training and more than 26 years of experience in getting excellent results for his patients. 

The Logan basic technique is just one of the array of options he has for helping patients heal and reach optimal wellness. 

What problems does the Logan basic technique treat?

The Logan basic technique can treat a range of issues in the spine, as well as some general health issues. Examples include: 

• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Headaches
• Chronic fatigue
• Menstrual pain
• Headaches
• Abdominal pain related to gastrointestinal issues
• Scoliosis

Logan University calls the Logan basic technique a full-spine adjusting procedure. 

What is the philosophy behind the Logan basic technique?

The philosophy of the Logan basic technique is correcting spine problems starting from the spine foundation: the sacrum. 

You can think of it in terms of a house: When the foundation starts shifting or develops other issues, the problems radiate straight up into the house. For example, doors might not open or close properly.

So, problems with your sacrum are the same way. They often show themselves in the back or neck, with pain, stiffness, or range-of-motion issues. 

The Logan basic technique does for your body what foundation repair can do for a house: It sets everything back to its optimal position and alleviates problems caused by an unstable foundation. 

How does the Logan basic technique work?

Dr. Rardin uses extremely low pressure with the Logan basic technique: about as much pressure as you’d use to test fruit for ripeness. So, it’s a painless, ultra gentle technique. 

Because it’s such a light-pressure method, the Logan basic technique is safe for all ages, even young children and geriatric patients. 

The Logan basic technique adjustments only take a few minutes in the Foundation of Health Chiropractic Center office, and it’s often paired with other gentle noninvasive healing techniques to help patients get ideal results.
