Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Principles and Practice of Spinal Adjustment: For the Use of Students and Practitioners
In common with most advances in the art of healing, Spinal Adjustment was first used in a purely empirical manner, its own advocates being unable to explain satisfactorily the re salts produced through its use. Careful investigation, how ever, has revealed the premises and furnished the data which rescue this form of treatment from the empiricism of the past and put it upon a substantial basis.
The greatest obstacle to the general adoption of Spinal Adjustment has been the inherited belief that vertebral sub luxations are impossible. This belief has been successfully shattered by a large amount of experimental work, particularly upon the cadaver. In this work I was ably assisted by Dr. Erik Juhl and I hereby make grateful acknowledgement Of this gentleman's great help in this connection.
The first section of this work deals with the principles Of Chiropractic. For verification of the different physiological facts enumerated in this part of the book I have referred quite extensively to the American d104 Book of Physiology and Kirk's Physiology.
