The office should contain a towel cabinet with a stack of clean towels and a compartment for used towels. Or tissue towels may be used to save laundry bills. Before each adjustment a clean towel should be unfolded and placed upon the front section of the bench so that the patient rests head and face upon a perfectly clean surface. When the adjustment is completed toss the towel into the used-towel compartment. This use of towels minimizes the risk of contagion or infection from a germ-infested upholstery, suggests care and cleanliness to your patient, and gives the patient greater trust in you. Dressing-room A curtained recess separated by a screen from the remainder of the room will serve if no separate room is available for a dressing-room. It is better, if possible, to have a separate dressing-room and better still to have separate dressing-rooms for men and women. If extra rooms are not at your command and you use a curtained recess be sure that it contains good light, a dressing-table with mirror, a small chair, and hooks for clothing. Provide also a few dressing-sacks for women though most of them will prefer to furnish their own. The Rest Room It is a known fact that the patient who can be kept in a quiet, restful, and relaxed state for some time following the adjustment derives the greatest benefit therefrom. Having loosened subluxated vertebrae by adjustment their tendency is to settle in their old abnormal position and every movement of the patient for a time aids this tendency. Quiet permits adaptation of surrounding tissues to the changed position of the vertebra; action facilitates the re-adaptation of the vertebra to the state of surrounding tissues. If possible a special room should be provided in which patients may lie down in comfort for twenty or thirty minutes following an adjustment. If more than one patient at a time is to rest, separate rooms should be provided for men and women. The rest rooms should have high ceilings and excellent ventilation without drafts. The floors should be carpeted so as to soften footfalls and suggest quiet and rest. Potted plants adorn such a room very well and always afford a pleasant suggestion. The patients lie on cots, foldable for convenience when not in use, and should lie on their backs as quietly as possible. Some prefer solid cots on rollers so that the cot may be noiselessly rolled beside the adjusting table after the adjustment, the patient may by one turn move himself upon it, and it may then be gently rolled into the rest room. This is a more finished, if more expensive, handling of the problem.
