The dorn method - the gentle relative to osteopathy and chiropractic

a wholistic, gentle, effective and safe way to correct misalignments of the spinal column and other joints. It is possibly the most effective and safe manual therapy available today that can help with:

backpain, sciatica, scoliosis, neck and joint pains, migraine, hip-problems,
all chronic inner conditions etc…..


The method is based on natural laws of physics and anatomy and combines tcm (traditional chinese medicine) - principals with western techniques and principals and it is unrivaled in its efficiency.


A healing ‘method’ because it combines 3 major factors:

1.) explanation of the cause of most spinal and joint problems (to avoid future mistakes!)

2.) an effective and safe therapy in cooperation with the patient (based on nature laws)

3.) explanation of self help exercises for patient ‘after care’ (necessary to prevent and maintain!)


the dorn method is - not just a therapy - it is a complete
healing method
that teaches people self help by showing how to apply the dorn method in a gentle, effective and safe way!


Healing through the spine - a simple yet very effective method, the 'dorn method'

the origins:

dieter dorn a german farmer and sawmill owner developed the method himself over thirty years ago. The lay healer since trained hundreds of people in this wonderful technique since it takes only two days to learn and many are now practicing it with equal success. Click on ‘history’ -link for more info!


The basic principles:

the dorn method is a gentle vertebrae and joint treatment. It can be helpful for treating illnesses directly or indirectly connected to the spinal column. It is completely safe but still very effective.

No medication is needed and no medical training is necessary to use the method successful. It can be learned and mastered easily all you need is sensitive, healthy hands. A talented lay person can quickly help, in many cases, themselves and those around them, but of course to use the dorn method on a professional level more experience, training and knowledge about anatomy, physiology, physical therapy like massage etc. Is necessary!

Our skeleton should be symmetrical, harmonic and in a static-dynamic alignment equilibrium. When we 'upset' this 'bone order' then our joints may be moved out of place especially in the spine.

The results of long-term 'bone dislocations' are as diverse as there are names for illnesses today. When the skeleton is re-aligned people often fast feel better and symptoms of illness can disappear or abate.

The dorn method is based on the correction of uneven leg length which can be diagnosed in almost every human today. Because of that the pelvis becomes twisted and this often results in a asymmetrical, crooked or displaced spinal column.

Traditional medicine has very little yet complicated explanations for the causes and persons many end up having operations or walk around with special build up shoes or insoles. The dorn method proves that we can have the same leg length every day and your body will thank you for that.

The corrections of joint or spinal cord misalignments is always done in a 'dynamic', a moving action. Our muscles will always try to hold the positions of the joints and spine and when they are out of order the muscles assumes this 'wrong' position as the correct one and hold it there. A static correction e.G. Chiropractic, is difficult since it needs to overcome the strength of the holding muscles and the patient is often quite tense since the treatment is done ´on´ him and not ´with´ him..

The dorn method uses motion to divert the muscles tension and in this relaxed state it is reasonable easy to re-align the bones. The same principal as when getting sand through a sieve, you need to shake (move) the sieve in order to get the sand through it! The dorn method can be called a ‘gentle’ method and no harm can be done to the patient because the correction pressure is stopped as soon as any pain arises.

Positive results are often immediately achieved and with some easy exercises, that the patient does after the treatment, the dorn method can bring long lasting relief.


The treatment: (check demo video at edit)

the treatment should start with detailed explanations about the therapy and the causes of spinal problems, different leg length causes etc. So the patient learns what to do in order to avoid this in the future.

First the patients leg length is controlled and if necessary corrected in a laying position. The hip joint is brought to a 90 degree position and the leg is then brought back to its straight position while guiding the bones back into its original place with gentle pressure. This can be done by the patient and it is absolutely safe, easy and painless!
The treatment of knees and ankles should then follow with the same principals: gentle pressure towards the joint while moving it from a bended to a more straight position.

After the legs the pelvis is checked for misalignment and also corrected if necessary. Followed by the lumbar vertebrae and lower thoracic columns while standing upright. Then the upper thoracic vertebrae are checked, corrected if necessary, and finally the cervical vertebrae, usually in a sitting position.

The treatment often is continued by the controlling and correction of other joints like the shoulders, elbow, hands and others like the jaw or collarbone.

The basics during the correction is always the same: the patient is in a dynamic, 'moving' action while the bones are brought back into proper position.

For example: if any of the lumbar vertebrae (lower back) is not aligned then it is checked in what direction it is misplaced and by using gentle, gradually increasing but sensitive pressure with the thumb the practitioner then helps the bone back into position while the patient is swinging with the leg on the opposite side back and forth and therefore distracts the muscles of the back.

This movement is done with the arms swinging accordingly for the upper thoracic vertebrae and the neck moves from side to side while correcting the cervical vertebrae. In principal the bones are ‘guided’ back into position with gentle pressure (counter pressure) using hand(s) or thumb only. This is a gentle and ‘natural’ way and the body readily accepts these corrections.

The correction is often a little painful but the pain stops the moment the practitioner take his hand off and it is only done in cooperation with the patient to avoid unnecessary discomfort.


After the treatment:

the patient is shown some simple exercises and it should be explained how to adjust uneven movements and bad postural patterns to achieve long lasting results and sometimes psychological connections are discussed which needs to be addressed to avoid reoccurrences.


Treatment reactions:

sometimes there are several reactions to be noticed up to seven days after the treatment. Dull muscle pain due to the correction (like after a gym workout) and pressure sensitivity on the corrected areas are common. Detoxification sign due to an improved metabolism (better nerve function) e.G. Flue like symptoms, changes in toilet habits and even an ‘awakening’ of unsolved inner issues may appear. These reactions should be judged as a positive ‘healing crisis’!

Of course positive reactions like the disappearance of long time pain and chronic inner ailments can be noticed most of the time.
