Description
Technique Systems in Chiropractic describes and analyzes the most commonly used techniques in today's chiropractic. These techniques,
sometimes called brand-name or proprietary techniques, each provide a step-by-step protocol for proceeding from examination findings
to adjustive and other treatment procedures. This book describes over two dozen technique systems in a nonjudgemental but critical manner,
summarizing the available research and drawing conclusions as to what is actually known about them, compared with what the technique
innovators themselves say.
Audience
Chiropractic students and practitioners.
