THE CHIROPRACTIC MANUAL

Biomechanical and Neurophysiological Approach

A complete technical manual for chiropractic students and practicing clinicians.

Most chiropractic technique books teach individual adjustments. The Chiropractic Manual teaches an integrated clinical system.

Designed for students who have already studied the philosophy and principles of chiropractic established by B.J. Palmer, this manual explains how biomechanical analysis, neurophysiology, and precise adjusting procedures work together to produce consistent clinical results. Rather than presenting isolated techniques, every chapter builds upon a unified framework of examination, analysis, and correction.

The text combines the classical foundations of Palmer, Gonstead, and Thompson with contemporary low-force chiropractic procedures, making it an ideal reference for both undergraduate and postgraduate chiropractic education.

Inside this manual

• Complete Gonstead vertebral listing system and A–P pelvic radiographic analysis

• Palmer Method, Meric System, and neurological correlations

• Thompson Terminal Point Technique with leg-length analysis and drop-table procedures

• Full spine adjusting protocols with contact points, patient positioning, line of drive, and torque

• Upper Cervical analysis including atlas listings, HIO evaluation, and Toggle-Recoil correction

• Functional Adjustment Tool (FAT) Protocol featuring modern low-force instrument-assisted chiropractic procedures

• Functional Cranial Chiropractic (FCC) assessment and correction with osteopathic comparison notes

• Clinical indications, contraindications, and safety considerations throughout

• Anatomical illustrations, clinical photographs, tables, and quick-reference charts

• Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) section at the end of the book for Chiropractic College Final Examination preparation

Designed for practical learning

Each chapter progresses from fundamental principles to clinical application, allowing students to understand not only how a procedure is performed, but why it produces neurological and biomechanical changes.

Whether used as a classroom textbook or as a chairside clinical reference, this manual provides a structured pathway for developing confidence in full-spine chiropractic practice.

Intended Audience

  • Chiropractic students

  • Chiropractic interns

  • Licensed chiropractors

  • Manual medicine practitioners

  • Osteopathic practitioners seeking comparative chiropractic techniques

  • Postgraduate chiropractic education programs
