Episodes
Purple: Week 12 - Clinical Radiography
4/23/2026
In today's episode, we will be looking at the proper technique for analyzing the radiographs. The biomechanical evaluation of standing radiographs is unique to chiropractic and provides the information necessary to make a specific adjustment.
Duration:00:40:14
Week 40: Infant Adjustments
4/20/2026
In this brief chapter, we will be discussing the proper technique for adjusting the infant. This includes modifications of the regular adjustment to accommodate the infant body.

Duration:00:17:33
Purple: Week 11
4/7/2026
In today's episode we will begin Chapter 5 and a discussion of full spine Radiography. Full spine x-rays are not only essential to the Gonstead work, but for any chiropractor who would attempt to address the biomechanics component of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex. As we begin, we will discuss the proper procedure for taking accurate and valuable x-rays that give insight into each patient's unique condition.
Duration:00:34:27
Week 38: Upper Cervical Corrections
4/6/2026

Duration:00:27:40
Week 37: Lower Cervical Corrections in the Chair
3/29/2026
In today's episode, we will be discussing the proper technique for adjusting lower cervical subluxations in the cervical chair. This includes both doctor and patient positioning to create a proper correction.
Duration:00:33:38
Purple: Week 10
3/26/2026
In today's episode, we will complete the chapter by looking at Instrumentation and X-ray as we look to integrate several different findings to produce a coherent picture of the VSC and its ultimate location. This will conclude the chapter on spinal evaluation.
Duration:00:36:36
Week 36: Lower Cervical Adjustments on the Knee Chest Table
3/24/2026
In today's episode, we will begin the chapter on lower cervical corrections by discussing adjustments on the knee chest table, which can also apply to the HiLo table as well. These adjustments are intended to be very precise, so we will look at how to do them with precision.
Duration:00:18:53
Week 35: Mid and Upper Thoracic Corrections
3/17/2026
In today's episode, we will be discussing corrections of the mid and upper thoracic vertebra on the knee chest table. It is important to understand the proper technique in order to create a correction and not merely a cavitation.
Duration:00:17:32
Purple: Wk 9
3/16/2026
In today's episode, we will conclude our discussion on palpation. This includes positioning as well as technique for proper assimilation of information.
Duration:00:35:45
Week 34: Lower Thoracic Corrections
3/10/2026
In today's episode, we will begin Chapter 16 on Thoracic Corrections. We will be covering adjustments on the knee chest table as well as the lower thoracic spine exclusively.
Duration:00:18:18
Purple: Week 8 - Clinical Examination
3/5/2026
In today's episode, we will look at the elements of a clinical examination and how we should put the information together to determine what is in the best interest of the patient. This is not about choosing one method of diagnosis, but it is about compiling data into a complete clinical picture.
Duration:00:50:40
Week 33: Lumbar Corrections on the Knee Chest Table
