Thru The Chapters

We don't often talk about subluxation, even though it is central to what we do as chiropractors.  Its one of those things we just sort of take for granted.  Today, we will be talking with Dr Russell about subluxation from both a philosophical and a scientific perspective.

Have you ever studied the history of science?  Its filled with horrible events that are highlighted by lack of disclosure and informed consent.  Today, we are going to talk about some of these horrendous events, but also about how we move forward in Chiropractic to insure our studies are both valid and ethical.

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome is a condition that is being diagnosed more frequently, and it is likely that a number of patients have an undiagnosed version of this condition.  EDS creates a unique clinical picture with some unique features we should consider if we want to get the bet results.  Today, we take a closer look at EDS and how we should consider it from a Chiropractic perspective. 

New Years Eve, 2002!  Are you planning for the new year?  What kinds of things should we be looking at for the upcoming year?

Today, we are looking at Biomechanics.  The upper cervical region offers some unique movements that we must be aware of if we are going to correct it properly.  It isn't just about the primary motion, but the coupled motion as well.

There are some big differences between the generations.  This often poses problems for how we communicate with our patients, but even how we communicate with each other.  When was the last time you really felt like you were learning from someone?  Tomorrow's Chiropractor is going to need to know how to lead their patients and that means leading people from different generations.

What does the gut have to do with Chiropractic?  It turns out that it may have a lot to do with it.  Obviously, the nervous system controls the gut; but is there a scenario where the gut might be influencing the results of Chiropractic?  In this episode, we are going to talk about the gut and certain instances where we may need to address the gut before we get the results we are looking for.

Today, we will be talking with one of my patients.  She had a serious injury and dealt with the consequences for over a year before she was referred to my office.  We have made tremendous progress with her, but there is so much that we can learn from her case when it comes to assessing the symptoms as a source of information about the subluxation.  

Do you enjoy selling Chiropractic?  The answers to this question are all over the board.  For those who never wanted to sell, we offer a different practice approach - the one Dr Gonstead used.

In today's episode, we will be addressing an age old question.  What makes Gonstead, Gonstead; and when does it stop being Gonstead?  This argument usually centers around technicalities and preferences, but let's look at it from a different angle and see what we might see.
