– Q&A
Who am I?
• Discoverer/founder of chiropractic (1895)
• First to use short levers (spinous and TVP)
• TONE (nerves too tense or too slack) is the foundation that chiropractic is
based upon
• Nerve Compression Theory
• Stated the causes of subluxation are CHEMICAL (toxins), MECHANICAL
(trauma) or PSYCHIC (thoughts)
• Talked about innate intelligence; confined the term innate from Christianity
• Learned chiropractic from eastern Europe a Bone setters
• Chiropractic philosophy based upon the principle of STRUCTURE (spinal
column) to FUNCTION (nervous system for healing)
• Innate is similar to homeostasis—> self regulating and self healing
• Vitalism—> suggests that the body requires something greater than physical
and chemical processes to function ✔️Ans - Daniel David Palmer (DDP)
Who am I?
• Developer of chiropractic
• Introduced the neurocalometer (detects heat imbalances
• Metric chart of nerve training
• HIO technique- "hole in one"—> only c1/C2 were capable of subluxations
and producing significant problems
• Cord compression theory ✔️Ans - Bartlett Joshua Palmer (BJ palmer)
Who am I?
• Subluxations are from abnormal biomechanics caused by muscle imbalance
in a weight bearing spine.
• Pelvic distortion model (basic distortion of the spine starts in the pelvis
✔️Ans - Carver
Who am I?
• Flexion distraction
• Developed a protocol for the treatment of lumbar disc protrusions,
spondylolisthesis, facet syndrome, subluxation, and scoliotic curves ✔️Ans
- Cox
,Who am I?
• SOT—> CSF flow through the pumping action of the sacrum and the cranial
dura mater ✔️Ans - DeJarnette
Who am I?
• Fixation theory of joint hypomobility ✔️Ans - Faye
Who am I?
• Considers the process of mechanical joint dysfunction thru 3 different
phases of joint fixation
• Muscular, ligamentous, articular
• He maintains that ligamentous or articular fixations are the most significant
✔️Ans - Gillet
Who am I?
• Subluxations are all posterior with disc wedging ✔️Ans - Gonstead
Who am I?
• Upper cervical specific
• dentate ligament ✔️Ans - Grostic
Who am I?
• Father of homeopathy (treats patients with heavily diluted preparations
which are thought to cause effects similar to the symptoms presented)
✔️Ans - Hahnemann
Who am I?
• Father of modern medicine
• First to manipulate ✔️Ans - Hippocrates
Who am I?
• Joint hypermobility
• described S movement and pelvic dynamics.
• Discovered and tested SI ligaments ✔️Ans - Illi
Who am I?
,• He presents a pattern of spinal degeneration founded on the principle that
spinal degeneration often begins with location mechanical derangement in the
absence of structural alteration
• Postulated that the process is often initiated with the development of
individual motion segment dysfunction secondary to alternation in segmental
tone and function
• Joint hypermobility s speculated to initiate the degenerative cycle through
the development of altered segmental biomechanics
If derangement is of significant magnitude, osseous structural alteration
occurs and degeneration of the joint is radiographically visible
• 3 phase model of instability—> dysfunction, unstable, stabilization, breaking
up spinal adhesions on an injured segment ✔️Ans - Kirkaldy-Willis
Who am I?
• Segmental facilitation theory
• Established the concept of subluxation creating a hyperactive nervous
system rather than a decrease in nerve impulses
• Muscle is central to his theory ✔️Ans - Korr
Who am I?
• Founder of Logan Basic Technique
• Sacrum as keystone to spine and first to use heel lifts ✔️Ans - Logan
Who am I?
• World renowned scientists in the field of biomechanics of the spine ✔️Ans
- Punjabi and White
Who am I?
• General adaptation syndrome states under optimum conditions the body can
respond to stressors ✔️Ans - Selye
Who am I?
• Wrote chiropractic textbook. Identified 33 principles of chiropractic and
"safety pin" cycle ✔️Ans - Stephenson
Who am I?
• Founder of osteopathy
• Related the integrity of the spine and skeleton to the proper functioning of
the circulatory system ✔️Ans - Still, Andrew Taylor-
, Who am I?
• Named chiropractic ✔️Ans - Samuel weed
Traditional core Chiropractic paradigm ✔️Ans - 1. The body is self
regulating and a self healing organism
2. The nervous system is the master system that regulates and controls all
other organs and tissues and relates the individual to his or her environment.
3. Spinal bio mechanical dysfunction in the form of VSC may adversely affect
the nervous systems ability to regulate function
4. Central focus of the doctor of chiropractic is to optimize patient health by
correcting, managing or minimizing VSCs through chiropractic spinal
adjustment
Faye's 5 component model of vertebral subluxation complex ✔️Ans - 1.
Neuropathophysiology
2. Kinesio Pathophysiology
3. Myopathology
4. Histopathology
5. pathophysiology (biochemical)
Which part of the component model of vertebral subluxation complex (Faye)
is this?
Biomechanical insult to nerve tissue is proposed to cause neural dysfunction
in 3 forms, individually or combined to include
1. Irritation- sustained hyperactivity of nerve receptors or nerve tissue. This
irritation results in facilitation.
