Narrative: Chiropractic is a low-tech, hi-touch discipline. We recommend that Chiropractors approach all patients with the assumption that ACEs may be present, whether consciously or unconsciously recognised. The most challenging situations often involve patients who are unaware of their trauma and lack effective coping mechanisms. Even so, heightened sensitivity is warranted whenever patients exhibit bracing, hyper-reactivity, or disproportionate responses to seemingly benign stimuli.
