Explanation of Chart No. 3
[See also Book II, Chart 13]
This chart includes two pictures of simple distortions resulting from sacral base tilt on one side and the other.
Please note the spinal curvature on the side of the inferior base; also the slanting or displaced apex line, which should fall in the center, between the legs, when normal. See figure 3 in chart No. 1 in this book, as well as chart No. 11 of book II which is reprinted in this book, for observation of the normal line; also see chart No. 2 in this book.
A buckling of the tissue of the back, producing a crease, is usually found in the corpulent patient, on the high side of the sacral base.
Anterior rotation usually accompanies laterality. In most cases, the anterior side of the body is also the anterior sacral base side.
In this chart the posterior side is marked with a plus sign and the anterior side with a minus sign.
It is quite obvious that when one side is posterior on the shoulder, the other must be anterior. But, strange to say, if you lay a yardstick across the back diagonally, as shown in the plumbline [plumb-line] chart No. 11 of book III, the opposite side of the posterior is also anterior over the hips, even in severe twists of the back.
Of course, any distortion or abnormality is possible, but those mentioned here are common among the regular run of patients. By using the simple methods presented here, it is easy to determine the anterior sacral base position and the inferior one, and correction according to POLARITY PRINCIPLES is simple, easy and effective.
