Thru The Chapters

In today's episode, we will be discussing spinal instrumentation.  This includes wires, internal appliances, and even prosthetics.  The idea is to better understand the conditions under which each approach is applied, its strengths and weaknesses, and how we, as chiropractors, can apply this knowledge for our patient's benefit.  

In today's episode, we begin Chapter 6 on how to identify Lumbar Misalignments.  This chapter highlights the X-ray evaluation procedure for determining the direction of misalignment and how to correct it. 

In today's episode, we will be looking at a material called PMMA. It is used in emergency situations to hold together fractured vertebra.  It is still used today, so it is very important for us to understand the nature of this material and how it is used. 

In this throw back episode, we talked with Dr Eric Russell about "practical philosophy".  This was a great conversation about how you can use philosophy on a daily basis to influence how you practice. 

In this throw back episode, we talked with Dr Ian Rossborough and covered the topic of how he got started in chiropractic and how he grew his practice in the beginning. 

In today's episode, we will conclude Chapter 5 on the Mechanism of Subluxation by discussing Compensation.  This was a revolutionary idea in Dr Gonstead's time, and the Gonstead system is still one of the only technique systems to address the presence of compensation.  This episode is crucial for learning how to distinguish between subluxation and compensation. 

In this throw back episode, we will be talking with Dr Cliff Fisher about the purpose and value of training. Dr Fisher has been a trainer for AlignLife for many years, and he has some unique insights from his experience in that role. 

In today's episode, we will be concluding our discussion of the biomechanics of spinal fusions by discussing posterior constructs.  

In this throw back episode, we will be talking with Dr Dave Waller about the transitions that we go through in practice. 

In today's episode, we will continue our exploration of the mechanism of subluxation by looking at the stages of degeneration.  This will include a break down of all 6 phases and how we can remember their appearance on x-ray.
