Notable Quotable

"Chiropractic should not be practiced on a probability basis. Certainty must be the ultimate aim... if not he will not have developed the investigative skills required to ferret out and find the answers to the patient's underlying problem."- Roger Herbst

"Find the subluxation, accept it where you find it, fix it, and leave it alone."- C.S. Gonstead

"X-rays will not show nerve pressure. X-rays will not show subluxation. X-rays show misalignment that might cause subluxation that causes nerve pressure."- C.S. Gonstead

"The right number and right kind of adjustments can set the stage for nature to heal; too many adjustments in the wrong place can undo any good that was done and slow down the healing mechanism."- C.S. Gonstead

Lower thoracic on knee - chest table

"You have to find the pinched nerve. You have to find the vertebrae causing it. You have to have a scientific application to reposition the vertebrae to take the pressure off the nerve."- C.S. Gonstead

"If there is no nerve pressure to any gland or organ, the body can produce any drug it needs."- C.S. Gonstead

"We have a waiting room that seats 108 people and those seats are filled all day everyday. We take care of people until 3am when we have to chase some home so we can get some sleep. If we had the staff we would stay open 24 hours a day 7 days a week."- C.S. Gonstead

"Chiropractic is not easy. It is a scientific approach. In order to get those things right, they have to be so right. None of us can be too careful. Too many of the chiropractors are unwilling to really study enough to truly understand spinal mechanics."- C.S. Gonstead

"Too many of your neighbors are not chiropractors. They are manipulators. They are not reducing nerve pressure. They are causing problems that may not manifest until a year later as sickness. By that time the patient has forgotten about chiropractor and is lost to the medical man."- C.S. Gonstead

"Chiropractors do not manipulate; they do not use the process of manipulating; they adjust."- D.D. Palmer

"Any person can learn to hit the high spots, replace and displace vertebrae, relieve one disease and cause another. Let us as chiropractors, show the world that chiropractic is a science...Why not be specific...Why not combine the science of chiropractic with the ART of adjusting?"- D.D. Palmer

"Science is knowledge reduced to law and embodied in a system. Art relates to something being done. Science teaches us to know and art to do."- D.D. Palmer

Lumbar push move on pelvic bench

Lower lumbar on knee-chest table

"I could teach a monkey to manipulate in 15 minutes."- B.J. Palmer

"Chiropractic without specificity is nothing."- B.J. Palmer

"Discs offer considerable resistance to the adjustment and tend to misplace the vertebrae again, until the adjustment has caused a physiological change in their texture and shape."- R.W. Stephenson

"Disc height to body height is greatest in the cervical spine, which allows for the greatest possible range of motion... it is the discs that give motion to the spine, and the facets that restrict it.- Panjabi & White

"Shear stresses act in the horizontal plane perpendicular to the long axis of the spine. It has been found that torsional and hence, sheer forces are the major injury causing load factors in the discs."- Panjabi & White

"Look well to the spine for the cause of disease."- Hippocrates
