Episodes
Week 32: Lumbar Corrections on the Pelvic Bench
2/23/2026
In today's episode, we will begin discussing Lumbar Corrections. We will do this by discussing how we make these corrections on the pelvic bench. Next week, we will discuss the same corrections on the knee chest table.
Duration:00:29:09
Week 31: Sacral Correction Continued
2/17/2026
In today's episode, we will discuss sacral corrections at the lumbosacral joint (base posterior sacrum). We will also introduce the knee chest table and its proper application.
Duration:00:23:43
Purple: Week 6
2/17/2026
In today's episode we will continue to discuss the vertebral subluxation complex. We will look at the biomechanics around this lesion and how it has effects that go beyond biomechanics.
Duration:00:59:29
Week 30: Sacrum Correction
2/9/2026
In today's episode, we will begin discussing the correction of the sacrum. This includes both involved side up and involved side down. It is important to consider the movement of the joint in order to create the best correction possible.
Duration:00:28:06
Purple: Week 5 - Biomechanics and Subluxation
2/9/2026
In today's episode, we will complete the chapter of biomechanics and begin Chapter 3 on Subluxation. This is an important transition to understand how biomechanics influences subluxation, and how subluxation influences biomechanics.
Duration:00:24:44
Week 29: Ilium Corrections Part 2
2/3/2026
In today's episode, we look at the compound listings as well as both push and pull moves.
Duration:00:24:52
Purple: Week 4: Biomechanics
1/27/2026
In today's episode, we will discuss the biomechanics of locomotion as well as coupled motion and how this will improve out understanding of what we are seeing on an X-ray.
Duration:00:30:02
Week 28: Ilium Corrections (EX Pull)
1/27/2026
In today's episode, we will begin discussing ilium corrections beginning with the EX pull move. This move is difficult, but it gives us all of the necessary components to properly perform any of the adjustments on the pelvic bench.
Duration:00:37:44
Purple: wk3
1/22/2026
In today's episode, we continue to build a biomechanical base by looking at the physical components of the joint.
Duration:00:36:34
Week 27: Palpation Technique
1/20/2026
In today's episode, we cover the proper procedure for patient palpation. This includes an understanding of how to interpret our findings to ensure that we know what we think we know.
Duration:00:29:16
Purple: Week 2 - Introduction to Biomechanics
1/13/2026
In today's episode, we will begin Chapter 2 and an introduction to biomechanics, particularly the biomechanics that are relevant to the chiropractor. This is an essential foundation for understanding everything else that is yet to come in this book.
Duration:00:32:00
Week 26: Motion Palpation
1/12/2026
In today's episode, we will begin our exploration into motion palpation. This is something that is rarely taught as a system within the system, but here we will look at the basic technique and principles for obtaining reliable information from the patient's body.
Duration:00:24:11
Week 25: Instrumentation
1/5/2026
In today's episode, we will talk about the method for proper scoping. How the scope should be held, how to maintain proper contact, and proper glide speed are all topics that will be addressed. This episode is essential for anyone who is just getting started and wants to learn how to scope properly.
Duration:00:31:39
Week 24: Instrumentation Theory
12/8/2025
In today's episode, we will begin Chapter 11 on Instrumentation by talking about the theory of Instrumentation. In order to properly interpret our Instrumentation findings, we must first know what we are looking for and what it means. This section will teach us how to do that.
Duration:00:19:57
Week 23: Full Spine Radiography
12/1/2025
In today's episode, we will cover the proper technique for taking full spine films. It is important to use proper technique as well as patient positioning to ensure that the films are of the highest quality.
Duration:00:30:59
Week 22: Occipital Misalignment
11/24/2025
In today's episode, we will be looking at misalignments of the Occiput as it relates to the Atlas. This section will give us a thorough understanding of the biomechanics as it relates to Occipital misalignment so we can create a plan for proper correction.
Duration:00:21:12
Week 21: Atlas Misalignments
11/16/2025
In today's episode, we look specifically at the atlas. Once it has been determined that there is a subluxation of the atlas, it is necessary to evaluate it on x-ray in order to determine its exact location and the proper method of correction.
Duration:00:26:09
W&P Wednesday: 680-696
11/12/2025
In today's episode, we will complete our reading of the book by discussing some final physics concepts and how they help us to understand biomechanical motion.
Duration:00:47:43
Week 20: Upper Cervical Misalignments - Mechanism of Subluxation
11/10/2025
In today's episode, we discuss the mechanism by which upper cervical subluxations cause nerve pressure and dysfunction. This is an important piece of the assessment if we are going to create a proper correction.
Duration:00:28:49
W&P Wednesday: 665-680
11/6/2025
In today's episode, we continue on with some advanced physics concepts that are used to evaluate spinal movements as well as loads and strengths. These concepts help us to understand how the body functions and can be studied with accuracy.
