See below regarding the hard kyphosis
this doc had before this ONE
Advanced Biostructural Correction™
treatment.
Also, see below regarding
his cervical curve and effects of traction and
Posterior-to-Anterior
spinal treatment and why it half the time or more it
creates mechanical problems
even when it seems to change the cervical curve into
more of a lordosis.

This is a
chiropractor treated with
Advanced
Biostructural Correction™.
What you might not know is that the curve at the
arrows in the pretreatment picture is a hard
kyphosis that
has not changed in years. (If the arrows have moved
in your browser look from the level of the elbow up.
That
entire thing is a hard kyphosis with minimal neck
extension available to the person.)
When he
laid supine pretreatment, his head just barely hit
the table in maximum extension.
There was almost no extension in the thoracic spine.
Post
meningeal and before he got up, his head laid on the
table with just a bit of extension.
You can
see in the post meningeal picture how much that
kyphosis changed above his sleeve level
and even below it, but you cannot see how much more
flexible he is above the level of that sleeve.
Notice he now has some sort of lordosis that would
have not shown on an x-ray pretreatment.
It is
extremely important to note that lack of lordosis in
the initial picture (take a look at pic 1 and 2)
because it is NOT a lack of lordosis. THE LORDOSIS
IS THERE but the body is stuck so far in flexion
because
of what is occurring in the mid and upper thoracic
spine it is just plain forced forward.
This is
a good one to remember when someone tells you to
treat a cervical curve or scoliosis or some such
thing.
Also remember it when you get the
Advanced Biostructural Correction™
X-ray Seminar CDs and films. You
will learn that you cannot trust what you see on the
films as being the configuration that is actually
there. This
doc has a fairly normal lordosis, even in that first
picture from a mechanical point of view.
If
you treated the flexed pelvis or reversal of the
lumbars you wasted your time and probably made him
worse.
What you are seeing on the x-rays is NOT the
configuration of the spine as CBP™/Harrison,
Pettibon, Woggin
and his Clear Institute, various Upper Cervical
methods, Network and others would have you believe.
It is the
configuration of the spine AS MODIFIED by any fixed
curves and the weight bearing changes they make.
AND,
how they are changed by the weight bearing changes
associated with changing position as from sitting to
standing.
Therefore, the things other teachers tell you to fix
are most often, YES, MOST OFTEN, not even there. It
is just
like taking a picture of a part of a tree that has a
thousand pound weight hanging from some other part
that is
not in the picture. You might think the tree is bent
or that there was some developmental problem. Not
looking
at the whole thing is silly at first. Stupid after
you have been told, as all of them have been by
me.
Rant over after this next paragraph. You might think
it impertinent, but it is not when you consider that
NO ONE ELSE EVEN COMES CLOSE TO DELIVERING OR EVEN
CLAIMING these changes on a consistent basis even
after months or years of treatment.
Advanced Biostructural Correction™
promises this type of change or better ON THE FIRST
VISIT. Remember, this guy is a chiropractor and has
been pushed the wrong way for years and was more
difficult to change than most of you.
(Other methods claiming structural change or
practitioners or teachers with supposedly good
answers, even those
silly guys who tell you to listen to them because
they have TONS OF PUBLISHED RESEARCH are not or have
not
until recently, taken or been telling you to take
full spines so they have, and you have been missing
most of what
is happening).
I have been
taking full spine standing and sitting films AP and
Lateral views and
measuring all the angles on all the views to create
three dimensional models since 1981. I gave
all the data needed to Harrison in 1995. Still have
his response letter telling me it was wrong to use
calculus that
way to make determinations of spinal mechanics. Take
a look at his latest research, full spine and
measuring
moments of inertia of the vertebrae like I told him
he would have to do way back in 1995. On the other
hand,
he IS doing it, think about Pettibon, Woggin and all
the others in Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Medicine and
other
supposed methods of structural correction who are
not even that close.
Again,
this is something you can see in a couple of the
sets of films included with the
Advanced Biostructural Correction™
X-ray Analysis Seminar available on CD and including
40 full spine films: AP and Lateral Full Spine and
sequential treatments over months time and AP and
Laterals standing flat, one inch heel lift right,
one inch heel lift left and why heels are always
good for people, contrary to most doctor's
recommendations and why heel lifts in the "wrong
side" often help symptomatically while slowly
breaking down the person's mechanics to hidden
catastrophic body events years later.
Now,
looking at the cervical curve in this client (take a
look at pictures one and two). Most of his Forward
Head Posture
comes from the curve at the T11 - T12 level. His
lumbar spine is so bent under that strain that he
has to flex his
pelvis and lean backward at that level. Does it
matter what his cervical curve is doing? Yes, but
not much.
