In this episode, we will be looking at both the training and execution of the Cervical Chair adjustment.  

Do you struggle with your Atlas Adjustment? Here are some simple tips to help you do a better job with your setup and adjustment.

Do you struggle with control when adjusting L5 on the knee chest? Here are some simple tips to help you with your control over the patient so you can make a better adjustment.

In today's episode, we will be talking with Dr Andrea Cecchi from Italy. Dr Cecchi was a competitive swimmer who swam in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. He is a Gonstead Diplomate and a GCSS Board Member. He is also an instructor at the Barcelona College of Chiropractic.

We will be talking about how Gonstead is more than a technique and the importance of using the entire system.

In this episode, we will be finishing Chapter 2 on Kinematics of the Spine by talking about the Sacrum and Pelvis.  We will also discuss unique coupling motions and how this might help us with palpation to better diagnose spinal dysfunction. 

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.
