Harvey Lillard 1895
Had been mostly deaf for 17 years after an accident, and gone to many doctors and underwent several treatments that never worked
Dr. D.D. Palmer took an interest in his case and found a lump along his spine
Dr. Palmer then "adjusted" the spine
After 2 adjustments Harvey Lillard had complete hearing back!

Chiropractic History

Dr. Clarence Gonstead
Created Gonstead Technique
Would see 300-400 patients a day
Built a hotel and airstrip for out of towners and other D.C.s who wanted to learn from him next to his office
The Gonstead technique became a part of the Palmer Chiropractic College curriculum in 1961, becoming the cornerstone of the schools technique department which other schools followed suit and added the technique to their curriculum
Today the Gonstead Technique is the most represented technique on the Chiropractic
National Boards

Gonstead Technique

Foundation of basic biomechanical principle of physics
Fundamentally important to determine a subluxation and misaligned vertebrae
Cervical chair

"Find the subluxation, accept it where you find it, correct it, and leave it alone." -Dr. Clarence Gonstead

What is Chiropractic?

Healthcare focusing on removing disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous system
Drug free and "hands-on"
Uses the Chiropractic adjustment to remove vertebral subluxation complex

What is a subluxation?

A subluxation is a misalignment of the vertebrae that results in nervous system interference.

subluxation

Vertebral Subluxation Complex

Joint doesn't move well or is fixated
Often times painful but not always
Alters the signal that is being sent to and from the brain
Can be acute or chronic
Removed through Chiropractic adjustments

What does a subluxation cause?

Decreases immunity
Decreases neural function
Compresses and irritates nerves
Lowers reflexes
Increases stress on the body
Pain

The Chiropractic Adjustment

A Chiropractic adjustment is performed to correct/reduce a subluxation
Adjustments restore normal joint function by applying a controlled force to the area of subluxation therefore allowing proper healing and pain relief to occur
Adjustments are specific and done by hand to allow for control and "touch"
Minimal force is utilized

What does an Adjustment do?

Remove stress from joints
Remove compression of nervous system
Decrease inflammation
Lessens the strain on bones, muscles, discs, and ligaments
Improve Posture through stimulation of mechanoreceptors

What's that cracking/popping noise?

Audibles or "cavitations" are the noises you may hear when you get adjusted.
Joints are two bones that are very close together with a sealed capsule in between, those bones contain a small amount of liquid called synovial fluid. So when you are adjusted the bones movement cause the pressure in the capsule to decrease which causes gas bubbles and that is what you are hearing the "pop" noise.

Whiplash

Acute sprain/strain injury to the neck
Most commonly caused by car accidents
If left untreated can lead to worse conditions
Whiplash can be treated and symptoms can be greatly reduced by Chiropractic care
Low impact rear end collisions result in the lower neck degenerating 6x faster than normal aging process

Herniated Disc

In between the vertebrae are spongy discs that absorb shock for the spine and keep it flexible, if these discs are damaged then they may bulge, tear, or break open which is then
termed a herniated disc
Can happen in any part of your spine
Caused by:
Wear and tear from poor mechanics
Injury
Symptoms:
Pain
Numbness
Weakness
Tingling

Disc Degeneration

The intervertebral disc flattens and begins to break down over time causing a loss of height, disc bulging, and pain.
Caused by:
Injury?s
Sports
Vertebral Subluxations
Cannot be reversed but Chiropractic care can prevent further degeneration and injury to occur.
