Orthospinology Procedures:An Evidence-Based Approach to Spinal Care

This text presents the current and updated teaching of the
Orthospinology procedure. Written by the author of the landmark text
Upper Cervical Subluxation Complex, this book is a step-by-step,
thoroughly illustrated guide to the Orthospinology procedure for
correcting subluxations. Whereas Upper Cervical Subluxation Complex
explains the "why" of upper cervical chiropractic care,
Orthospinology Procedures teaches the "how" and reviews the evidence
supporting this procedure.

The book details the X-ray analysis methods used to quantify the
subluxation and determine an effective correction vector. Subsequent
chapters present steps for ensuring the precision of the X-ray
analysis, performing specific adjustments, assessing the
effectiveness of the adjustment, and fine-tuning the correction to
the individual patient. More than 300 photographs and drawings
clarify complex points.
