Perri VL Applying the Conjugate Gaze Adjusting Technique Today's Chiropractic,   Sep/Oct  2000; 29(5): 42-51.

A relationship between chiropractic and eye and body movements, was found through researching the chiropractic literature. DeJarnette's work in Sacro Occipital Technique is of interest. His use of trapezius fiber contacts in cranial manipulative reflex testing, occipital fiber analysis and dollar sign corrections all seem to connect to the central nervous system via the thalamo-cortical pathways. Conjugate gazes are activated by the opposite cerebral hemisphere. Eye movements, when they are voluntarily directed to the left are activated by the right cerebral hemisphere through the medial longitudinal fasiculus; the opposite is also true. This paper presents methods of using conjugate gazes and patient-assisted movements for the correction of subluxations and their effects.
