In today's episode, we will be discussing how our ethics plays out in our behavior. What is a proper ethical construct for chiropractic? What is our ethical responsibility to those above and below us, as well as our patients? Today, we are going to talk about all of these issues.

In today's episode, we begin our study of lower cervical misalignments.  We will be looking at the mechanism of how they become misaligned as well as the process for drawing lines on the x-ray in order to assess their position relative to the vertebra around them. 

In today's episode, we will be looking at the biomechanics of the back muscles, as well as the spinal cord, nerve roots, and peripheral nerves.  This is an element of biomechanics that is frequently ignored by the Chiropractic profession and something that is extremely relevant for correcting joint dysfunction without doing additional harm. 

In today's episode, we will be discussing the proper conceptualization for correcting a thoracic subluxation. While this conceptualization is true in all areas of the spine, it is particularly important for the thoracic spine.  In addition, the thoracic spine offers us the obstacle of imbrication, which must be accounted for to create a proper adjustment.

In today's episode, we will be discussing the load bearing capability of different structures of the spine. With this, comes an understanding of fatigue tolerance.  We will also see how individual movements do not happen in isolation, but they are a combination of movements. We will conclude today by talking about the anatomy and biomechanics implications of the ribs and their articulations. 

In today's episode, we begin our study of Thoracic Misalignments.  The Thoracic vertebra are different from the cervical and lumbar vertebra. This chapter will discuss those differences and how it should effect our conceptualization of what is happening with subluxation and what we need to do about it. 

In this episode, we will be talking about the difference between cortical and cancellous bone, endplates and facets, and the variation that occurs from age and degeneration. 

In today's episode, we will be talking about the special listings of L5.  The singular vertebra is unique in that the position of the spinous process does not guarantee a spinous contact.  We will be discussing how to know what contact to use regardless of the unique listing. 

Slack is one of the issues that many chiropractors struggle with in their adjustments. Today, we will talk about why it is important to remove the slack, rather than simply use more force to make the adjustment.

In this episode, we will be discussing the biomechanics properties of the ligaments, particularly, the spinal ligaments.  The ligaments are possibly one of the most ignored elements when it comes to biomechanics, but more specifically, when it comes to adjusting and our attempts to correct the spine without injuring it further.
