There is provided a method of alleviating or reducing the symptoms of uneven pelvic rotation in a patient suffering therefrom; comprising: (a) selecting the patient; (b) identifying the patient's functionally short leg; (c) positioning the patient in a substantially prone position, thereby reducing any weight supported by the patient's pelvis; (d) while the patient is in the substantially prone position, simultaneously elevating a front portion of the patient's cephalic thigh adjacent the forwardly rotated acetabular joint and removing restrictions to the rearward rotation of said acetabular joint, while elevating a cephalic portion of the front region of the ilium on the other side; and, (e) repeating step (d) at least once per month. Therapeutic wedges useful in the method are also provided. There is also provided a method of relieving or alleviating the symptoms of chronic spinal movement in the neck in a patient suffering therefrom, comprising: (a) selecting the patient; (b) identifying the direction of spinal movement/misalignment in the patient's neck; (c) positioning the patient in a substantially horizontal position looking upward so as to reduce any weight supported by the patient's neck; and, (d) applying a consistent force to the back of the patient's neck in the region of the second to fourth cervical vertebrae, thereby urging lateral displacement of the cervical spine in a direction opposite to the direction of spinal movement/misalignment in the patient's neck.
