W&P Wednesday: Spinal Pain

In today's episode, we talk about the unique ways in which a Gonstead Chiropractor can correct the Occiput in a way that is sound in biomechanics and protective of the other vertebra in the spine.  We will talk about positioning, stabilization, and correction.

In today's episode, we will be discussing the causes of spine pain for the entire spine.  This will help us to differentiate between the anatomical differences and propensity towards injury in each area of the spine. 

In today's episode, we will be talking about the setup and adjustment of the atlas in both the seated and knee chest position.  The specificity and precision of the Gonstead approach to the atlas is unmatched by any other technique.

In today's episode, we begin our discussion of Chapter 6 and the biomechanics of spine pain.  In this section, we will learn many interesting things about what does cause spine pain that we didn't expect, and what doesn't cause spine pain that we have been led to believe does.

In today's episode, we will be looking at some articles that have been written that can help us to give more context to how we perform our adjustments and how we can avoid some common errors.  

In today's episode, we will be concluding chapter 5 by discussing clinical instability of the sacrum and pelvis.  This will also include a synopsis of the entire chapter as we conclude our discussion on clinical instability.

In today's episode, we will be discussing cervical corrections in the cervical chair.  This will include proper contact, hand placement, patient positioning, and stabilization. 

In today's episode, we will be looking at instability of the lumbar spine.  This includes a discussion of fracture and the circumstances required to create a fracture.

In today's episode, we will begin Chapter 17 by looking at cervical corrections on the knee chest table.  The specific application of this approach is vital to getting the most out of this adjustment and creating the proper correction.

Today, we will conclude our discussion of cervical instability.  We will then discuss the topic of thoracic instability in its entirety.
