Fixations

The next box in this column contains symbols used to identify Fixations (figure 5). Some doctors never use the Fixations, while others use them to the exclusion of Subluxation Listings. As with most other functions in ChiroSuiteEHR/ChiroPadEMR, the tools are provided but the provider is NOT forced to use them. The Padlock symbol is used to designate Fixations.

                   Figure 5
