Because of that, the pelvis the pelvis is is said to become twisted, and this can allegedly result in an asymmetrical, metrical, crooked crooked or displaced spinal column. Correcti Corrections ons of joint joint or spinal spinal cord cord misalig misalignme nments nts are done in a 'dynamic', moving action. According According to Dorn, people’s muscles muscles always always try to hold the positions of the joints and spine, and when they are out of order the muscles assume this 'wrong' position as the correct one and hold it there. Dorn proponents proponents state that a static correction, such as that used in chiropractic therapy, is difficult because it needs to overcome the strength of the holding muscles, and because the patient is often tense since the treatment is done 'on' him and not 'with' him.
