See below regarding
the unyeilding kyphosis this
doc had before this ONE
Advanced Biostructural Correction™
treatment.
Also, see below
regarding his cervical curve, effects of traction and
Posterior-to-Anterior spinal treatment
─ why it half the time or more it creates mechanical
problems
even when it seems to improve cervical curve into more of a lordosis.
Just below the young doc with a
kyphosis created by P-to-A adjusting collapsing his thoracic curve are a set of videos of an 80+ year old
chiropractor who has been trying to get something to change his
kyphosis for
over three decades. That is right, 30 years trying to get the
kyphosis handled and it was 90% gone at a seminar after a single
time through the Advanced BioStructural
Correction™ protocol. AND, THAT IS A CONSISTENT RESULT WITH
ABC™.
This is a chiropractor with a hard and unyielding kyphosis before and
after being treated with
Advanced Biostructural Correction™
for the first time. Below these are pictures of an
80+ year old
chiropractor with the same type of condition. Both handled with
ABC™.

Gross Observations:
1. Hard Kyphosis from about the level of the shirt sleeve up to C7
with forward head carriage.
2. What seems like a reversal of the lumbar lordosis. (See
paragraph 4 below.)
3. The pelvis tucked backward with the reversal of the lordosis.
4. Chest collapsed forward and down.
5. Entire body leaned forward.
6. Knees chronically bent to accommodate forward bend/lean of
body.
7. Feet splayed outward to better compensate for forward weight.
8. Head tilted forward and down when relaxed with military
cervical curve.
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 shirt sleeve and
up. That
entire thing is a hard and unyielding 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. Worse than the
older chiro in the video.
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.
The lack of lumbar
lordosis and tucked pelvis in the initial picture (take a look at pic 1 and 2)
is important to
note
because it is NOT a lack of lordosis. THE LORDOSIS IS THERE. However, the body
is stuck so far in flexion
and leaned forward so much because of what is occurring in the mid and
upper thoracic spine, the lumbar spine
is just
plain forced into a forward bend and the pelvis is forced into a tuck
backward and down. These are totally
compensations for the real mechanical pathology in the thoracics. While
there are significant consequences to
the reversed lumbar and tucked pelvic configurations, you could spend
his entire life working in those areas
having little to no effect because they are not pathological, they are
normal compensations and so will constantly
reset unless you damage the area in an attempt to change it.
This case is a good one to remember when someone tells you to treat a
cervical curve or scoliosis or some such
thing. Most of the time these seemingly "abnormal" curves are normal
compensations that change immediately
upon correction of the actual mechanical pathology.
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
subject has a fairly normal
lordosis, even in that first picture where it is reversed IF YOU LOOK AT
IT FROM A
MECHANICAL POINT OF VIEW. What that means is that the function is
preserved. If there were actual mechanical
pathology (as there is in the thoracic area of the spine) there would be
loss of function. There is no loss of fucntion
in the lumbars but the breathing capacity and other chest and upper
abdominal functions are impaired.
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 pathological 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
NOT EVEN THERE. YES,
MOST OFTEN. 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 has a permanently bent
configuration or that there
was some developmental
problem when it is just a temporary bend caused by the weight that you
cannot see. Not looking
at the whole thing
is silly at first. Stupid after you have been
told and had it physically demonstrated, as all of them have been by me
on
x-rays repeatedly on many patients. Makes one wonder at their
motivations.
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. I
promise these changes
will occur in all cases when you use
Advanced Biostructural Correction™.
This is not some vague
promise. I promise this
type of change or better
ON THE FIRST VISIT on everyone! 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. See another one with the
older chiro below.
Keep in mind that we teach you to make these changes
immediately with no
exceptions and
it works CONSISTENTLY & PREDICTABLY on ALL your patients.
Other methods claiming
to create structural change over time and other practitioners and teachers
with supposedly good
answers, even those
silly guys who tell you to listen to them because they have TONS OF
PUBLISHED RESEARCH cannot teach you to make these changes because they
just have not discovered how to do it. Mostly because they 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
AND MEASURING ALL THE ANGLES AND ANALYZING THE MECHANICS USING full spine standing and sitting films AP and Lateral
views to create three dimensional
models since 1981. I gave
all the data needed to Harrison in 1995. I 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 their
latest research, full spine and measuring
moments of inertia of the vertebrae (which is what he
criticized in my work) like I told them they would have to do
way back in 1995. On the other hand, they ARe 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.
By the
way, if you should have figured out that first picture of the young doc
with the military cervical curve is only that way
because his body is pitched forward at the bend of the kyphosis and they
neck has to be that way to balance the body (yes, it too is just a
compensation configuration that changes as soon as you correct the
actual mechanical pathology).
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.
