Foundations of Chiropractic: Subluxation

Now updated in its 2nd edition, the first research-based book on this topic examines the direct link between joint dysfunction, the theories of its effects, and the clinical syndromes seen in clinical practice. Focusing on three facets of spinal subluxation – the articular lesion, subluxation theories, and subluxation syndromes – it explains the practical principles and the evidence-based research behind safe and effective chiropractic care. Scientific evidence is presented for indications and contraindications of subluxation, along with term definitions, basic science and anatomy, subluxation causes, radiographic evidence, manipulable and nonmanipulable subluxation, a theoretical model, and subluxation syndromes. Many of the most respected names in chiropractic have contributed chapters to this book and present the common ground of chiropractic in a logical and understandable manner.
