Week 38: Upper Cervical Corrections

In today's episode, we will begin by talking about an important adjusting concept that is often ignored and leads to a lot of confusion.  We will then discuss Atlas corrections in both the seated position and on the knee chest table. 

In today's episode, we will be discussing the proper technique for adjusting lower cervical subluxations in the cervical chair.  This includes both doctor and patient positioning to create a proper correction. 

In today's episode, we will complete the chapter by looking at Instrumentation and X-ray as we look to integrate several different findings to produce a coherent picture of the VSC and its ultimate location.  This will conclude the chapter on spinal evaluation.

In today's episode, we will begin the chapter on lower cervical corrections by discussing adjustments on the knee chest table, which can also apply to the HiLo table as well.  These adjustments are intended to be very precise, so we will look at how to do them with precision. 

In today's episode, we will be discussing corrections of the mid and upper thoracic vertebra on the knee chest table.  It is important to understand the proper technique in order to create a correction and not merely a cavitation. 

In today's episode, we will conclude our discussion on palpation. This includes positioning as well as technique for proper assimilation of information. 

In today's episode, we will begin Chapter 16 on Thoracic Corrections.  We will be covering adjustments on the knee chest table as well as the lower thoracic spine exclusively.

In today's episode, we will look at the elements of a clinical examination and how we should put the information together to determine what is in the best interest of the patient.  This is not about choosing one method of diagnosis, but it is about compiling data into a complete clinical picture. 

In today's episode, we talk exclusively about corrections on the knee chest table.  This includes proper patient set up and relaxation, as well as doctor stance and technique.  This is an important table for all Gonstead Chiropractors to use on a daily basis and it begins with a proper understanding of what to do and how to do it. 

In today's episode, we will finish our discussion of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex and how we can think about it scientifically. We will conclude the chapter by discussing different proposed mechanisms for how the VSC can contribute to lower health and adaptability.
