About This Book

A compact clinical manual for students and practitioners that begins with detailed instruction in vertebral palpation and tactile examination, then explains nerve-tracing and the theory, varieties, and identification of subluxations. It lays out general principles and a sequence of specific adjusting techniques, followed by discussion of disease causation, the process of cure, adjunct therapies, and spino-organic (nerve-to-organ) relationships. Supplementary material includes a table linking conditions to adjustments and practical chapters on office equipment, examination schedules, patient management, prognosis, and professional limitations.

The republication of this book has been made possible by the sustained friendship of the profession for it, and the author’s thanks are due its many buyers and readers who, by their recommendation, have made it both possible and necessary that this book should live and grow.

The new edition has been somewhat enlarged by the introduction of additional matter into each section and by the addition of two entire new chapters on “Preferable Adjustments” and “Chiropractic Prognosis.” New plates have been added and old errors corrected. In every way an attempt has been made to express with conservatism the real advance made by Chiropractic since the first edition was put on the press.
