Thru The Chapters

Is there a difference between creating motion and correcting subluxations?  We all know that subluxations involve a loss of motion, but is that all there is to it?  This episode is dedicated to exploring the difference between these two concepts and how it can lead us where we do not want to go.

Today we will be talking about the usual suspects.  By that, we simply mean that certain vertebra are likely to create problems, and it is to our benefit to know their behavior well enough that we can quickly identify them as the source of dysfunction.  What are the usual suspects, and how can we learn to distinguish between one vertebra and its adjacent vertebra?

In today's episode, we will be talking with Dr Chris Waddell.  Dr Waddell is the past president of the Oklahoma State Board of Chiropractic.  He has some insights to offer us on how things work and how we can preserve our rights to practice the way we choose.

Do you ever feel like a work in progress?  Even worse, do you ever feel like you are a work in progress that is not making progress?  Today, we are going to talk about that and what we can do to get ourselves moving again in the direction that we want to go.

In today's episode, we will be talking about when we need to deviate from the normal rules to help a patient that isn't improving.  Sometimes, we get so committed to following the rules that we limit our ability to help the patient.  When we deviate and how we do it is the topic of this weeks discussion.

In today's episode, we will be discussing a structure of the brain known as the PAG.  It has relevance for us, as chiropractors, because whenever we see an emotional release from a patient following an upper cervical adjustment, it is because we are correcting a dysfunction of the PAG.  There is a lot for us to learn by taking a few moments to look deeper into the structure and the function of the PAG.

On the topic of philosophy, I once again turn to the teaching of Aristotle.  His writings on ethics give us an understanding of what we should be aiming for and the beauty found in perfection.  Today, we will be talking about how chiropractic philosophy can be relevant in our everyday life, if we understand its purpose.  It will also give us a path for creating mastery and becoming the best chiropractor we can possibly be.

Have you ever wondered why high antibody titers do not seem to equate to immunity?  In today's episode, we are going to discuss the physiology underlying the process by which we develop immunity.  Are viruses really our enemy, or are they essential for life?

How do you know when you need to make a change to move forward?  How do you self-correct to do the daily work of self improvement?  Today, we are going to talk about how we get a change in perspective so we can see ourselves more accurately.  If we cannot see the problem, then we cannot fix the problem.

This is an episode that I never really wanted to do, but I feel the time is now right to discuss these things.  I began looking into this many years ago, but it is clear now that if we do not become aware of what is going on behind the scenes, it has the potential to tear apart the profession.  It is time that we all become aware of and engaged in the politics of chiropractic.
