There has been increasing acceptance and development of manual methods in providing for the needs of patients with musculoskeletal dysfunction. Several professions have helped fuel this growth, including the chiropractic profession. To date, there has been only a small amount of collaboration between chiropractors and physical therapists. This paper provides a base foundation for one small part of general chiropractic practice, i.e. procedures used for manipulating the foot. Information is provided about the specific diagnostic procedures used by the chiropractic profession in assessing the joints and soft tissues of the foot, followed by descriptions of a number of chiropractic manipulative techniques drawn from the form of chiropractic in widest usage, Diversified technique. For each technique, information is provided on indications for use, patient position, therapist position, hand placements and procedure. In addition, a short discussion on the genesis of Diversified technique is provided.
在满足肌肉骨骼功能障碍患者需求方面，手法治疗方法越来越被接受且得到了发展。包括整脊疗法专业在内的几个专业推动了这一发展。到目前为止，整脊治疗师和物理治疗师之间的合作还很少。本文为整脊疗法一般实践的一小部分提供了基础，即用于足部推拿的程序。提供了整脊疗法专业在评估足部关节和软组织时使用的具体诊断程序的信息，随后描述了从应用最广泛的整脊疗法形式——多样技术中汲取的多种整脊推拿技术。对于每种技术，都提供了使用指征、患者体位、治疗师体位、手部放置和操作程序的信息。此外，还对手法多样技术的起源进行了简短讨论。
