W&P Wednesday: pg 650-665

In today's episode, we will begin Chapter 11 on Instrumentation by talking about the theory of Instrumentation. In order to properly interpret our Instrumentation findings, we must first know what we are looking for and what it means. This section will teach us how to do that. 

In today's episode, we will cover the proper technique for taking full spine films.  It is important to use proper technique as well as patient positioning to ensure that the films are of the highest quality.  

In today's episode, we will be looking at misalignments of the Occiput as it relates to the Atlas.  This section will give us a thorough understanding of the biomechanics as it relates to Occipital misalignment so we can create a plan for proper correction. 

In today's episode, we look specifically at the atlas.  Once it has been determined that there is a subluxation of the atlas, it is necessary to evaluate it on x-ray in order to determine its exact location and the proper method of correction. 

In today's episode, we will complete our reading of the book by discussing some final physics concepts and how they help us to understand biomechanical motion.  

In today's episode, we discuss the mechanism by which upper cervical subluxations cause nerve pressure and dysfunction. This is an important piece of the assessment if we are going to create a proper correction. 

In today's episode, we continue on with some advanced physics concepts that are used to evaluate spinal movements as well as loads and strengths.  These concepts help us to understand how the body functions and can be studied with accuracy. 

In today's episode, we begin Chapter 8 on Cervical Misalignments C2-C7.  This chapter will discuss the proper technique for evaluating misalignment of the lower cervical segments using radiography. 

In today's episode we cover some more advanced physics concepts and how they affect our understanding and measurements in biomechanics.  

In today's episode, we begin Chapter 8 and we look at the unique way that we access the cervical spine.  Once we know where the subluxation is, we have a system for evaluating the misalignment to know what we should and should not do.
