Narrative: We now know that Chiropractic care is the most beneficial treatment for dyspraxia, successful managing it with individuated therapy because it can stimulate the deep neurological structures of highest priority, the zygapophysial joint mechanoreceptors of the spine and spinal-related structures. 

Eupraxia is normally coordinated muscular performance. It is the antithesis of dyspraxia. The former is characterised by functional reciprocity, normalised autonomic performance and cognitive awareness whereas the latter always progresses to intensifying pathology. 

Problems with gross and fine motor skills like manual dexterity are the main symptoms of dysrecipria leading to deafferentation. Dyspraxia occurs when poorly synchronised motor skills interfere with daily and academic function and is observed on a continuum from mild to severe. 

The dyspraxic presentation, particularly if not identified early, can lead to challenging behaviours such as frequent concentration disruptions and/or interference with interpersonal relationships, the avoidance of work, and attention-seeking behaviours. Rehabilitating these pathological expressions requires the sacrifice of dysrecipria and encouraging euplasctic behaviour.
