Thru The Chapters

In this episode, we will begin a conversation about what the research shows regarding the breakdown and degeneration of the intervertebral disc. Not only does the research confirm what Dr Gonstead said about the disc, but it now gives us more insight into the how and why of disc degeneration. With this knowledge comes a better understanding of how to correct the vertebra in each stage of degeneration.

In today's episode, we will be finishing up the chapter on lower cervical misalignments. We will be covering the inferiority of the segment and why this dictates a particular adjustment. We will also discuss the different amounts of rotation between the different cervical vertebra.

Today, we will be talking about the different coupling patterns in the spine. We will also discuss the instantaneous axis of rotation, its role in movement, but also the ways in which it can move and change.  This will have clinical significance for how you perform your adjustments. 

In today's episode, we will be talking about lower cervicals on the lateral film. We will talk about inferiority and how it implies posteriority. We will talk about the mechanism of subluxation as well as the need to lift the vertebra and set it on top of the nucleus. 

In today's episode, we begin Chapter 2 and our study on Kinematics.  We will be discussing the motion of the upper cervical region, as well as its coupled motion. This will allow us to better assess when there is a movement disorder in this region of the spine and it will give us a better visualization of how to correct subluxations in the upper cervical region. 

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.
