Download or read book Technic and Practice of Chiropractic written by Joy Maxwell Loban and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No two students, approaching for the first time the study of Chiropractic, approach from the same angle. Their viewpoints differ. In order that all may gain as nearly as possible the same viewpoint from which to consider in turn the sections of this book, it will be well if each student reads the entire book before beginning to memorize its parts and convert them into practical working knowledge. An effort should be made, abandoning all other, to acquire the Chiropractic viewpoint. This accomplished, the rest of the task requires time and patience alone, without waste labor. The section on Vertebral Palpation should be studied step by step, the study of each step being combined with practice in it. Likewise the section on Nerve-Tracing, theory preceding practice. The study of the Technic of Adjusting should occupy those months immediately preceding the commencement of actual adjusting practice and continue during such practice. The chapters on Practice are intended for the student about to enter the field. The table of Spino-Organic Connection can be best understood by those who have studied or are studying the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system. Let every page be studied with a good medical dictionary open at the elbow of the reader. Pass no word without comprehension, no detail without mastery. He who would seek to modify the life processes of the human body must fortify himself against fatal error with every bit of knowledge he can acquire.

As he shares his reflections and contemplations using personal anecdotes and the stories of others, he illustrates how he has come to comprehend various spiritual concepts while exploring the doubts, fears, and perplexities he relied on as he gradually developed a new understanding of life. From a childhood filled with emotional challenges through his battle with alcohol abuse and finally to his realization that he too could live a blissful life, Dr. Bahou s story will inspire others to seek more peace, love, and joy in their own lives."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An integrated practice of chiropractic theory and theory of chiropractic practice, Chiropraxis attempts to tie together much of what has been assimilated in a rather disconnected manner into a general model that leaves behind the pitfalls of the "brand-name" techniques - the unsubstantiated claims for uniqueness, originality, superiority, etc. This book describes how the body enters into coherent distortion patterns given some disruption of its postural homeostasis. This project has been a response to an unfortunate tendency for many chiropractors and chiropractic students to regard the body as a pile of bones that either stack up properly or don't, as if each bone had an independent say as to where it ought to be.
