Thru The Chapters
Thru The Chapters is a one year Journey thru the text, Gonstead Chiropractic Science and Art by Roger Herbst. This text is the basic primer for anyone intent on learning the foundational concepts of Gonstead Chiropractic. This is a 52 week program designed to teach you fundamental concepts supported by Science, informed by Philosophy, and applied as Art. The 52 week format makes it so you can jump in anywhere and complete the journey from wherever you begin.

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.

In today's episode, we will take the theory we discussed last week, and we will apply it to the x-ray evaluation to ensure that we have proper application leading to correct conclusions. We will also discuss the proper corrective procedure as a better way of understanding what is happening conceptually.

In today's episode, we revisit a conversation I had with Dr Gilbert. She is a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist and she has performed hundreds of lip tie and tongue tie procedures. She also happens to be my wife, and I assisted her with all of those procedures. In this conversation, we were able to talk about our shared experience and what we have learned about this unique space from the dental side of things.
