Week 8: Rules for Correction

In today's episode, we will be talking about the rules for correcting short femur height.  This applies to both the correction we make by adjusting the Ilium, but also to the correction that is made through the use of heel lifts.  This understanding of femur and pelvis interaction is crucial to a proper understanding of the foundation principle and Gonstead Chiropractic as a whole.

Week 7: Femur Height Changes with Ilium Misalignment

In this episode, we will talk about how the Ilium misalignment can lead to predictable changes in the lengths of the femur heads.  This includes the conceptualization of the 5:2 rule. We will also talk about how correction of the Ilium misalignment can also lead to predictable changes in the femur head heights. 

Week 6: Compound Ilium Misalignments

In this episode, we will talk about compound ilium misalignments. This is when the Ilium misaligns in more than one direction or vector. This method of analysis will allow us to determine the precise location of the Ilium so we can make a more precise adjustment. 

Week 5: The IN/EX Ilium Misalignment

In this episode, we discuss the unique nature of pelvis rotation.  How can we determine this rotation from x-ray evaluation?  

Week 4: The PI Ilium Misalignment

In this episode, we complete our study of the AS-PI Ilium misalignment by discussing the PI portion of the misalignment. We will also discuss how the Ilium relates to the sacrum to understand how we determine which to adjust. 

Week 3: The AS Ilium Misalignment

In todays episode, we discuss the AS Ilium Misalignment. This includes the biomechanics behind its movement as well as the X-ray method for determining its presence.  This will focus on the Ilium moving in an Anterior and Superior direction relative to the Sacrum. 

Week 2: Introduction

In this episode, we are covering the Introduction portion of the book. We will discuss several foundational and revolutionary concepts for understanding chiropractic and how best to apply it. 

Week 1: Preface

In the first episode, we cover the preface of the book.  This preface will cover some foundational ideas and set the stage for the following chapters and their more advanced concepts.
