Summary
This review explores chiropractic vertebral subluxation theories from 1928-1949, revealing increased complexity and foundational impacts on modern practice.
Area of Science:
- Chiropractic research
- History of medicine
- Spinal biomechanics
Background:
- Chiropractic vertebral subluxation theories evolved significantly between 1928 and 1949.
- This period laid the groundwork for contemporary chiropractic principles and clinical applications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review and discuss the historical development of chiropractic vertebral subluxation theories.
- To analyze the complexity and evolution of these theories during a pivotal era.
Main Methods:
- Historical review of chiropractic literature and theoretical models.
- Analysis of key authors, theorists, and technique developers.
- Examination of research, modeling, and clinical methods from the period.
Main Results:
- Theories developed in complexity, encompassing upper cervical, reflex, global, and Speransky-based models.
- At least eight distinct perspectives on chiropractic vertebral subluxation emerged.
- Key figures like B. J. Palmer and Joseph Janse contributed significantly to theoretical advancements.
Conclusions:
- Chiropractic theories from 1928-1949 grew in complexity, expanding models and clinical methods.
- This era's research and theories profoundly influenced the chiropractic profession for decades.
- Understanding this period enhances appreciation for the foundations of modern chiropractic practice.

01:27Muscles of the Vertebral Column
3.1K
The back muscles that lie deep into the thoracolumbar fascia are called intrinsic or true back muscles. These muscles are divided into four layers: superficial, intermediate, deep, and deepest layers.
Superficial Layer:
The superficial layer consists primarily of the splenius muscles, which include the splenius capitis and splenius cervicis. These muscles are mainly responsible for the head and cervical spine movements, including extension, rotation, and lateral bending. The splenius capitis...

01:28Articulations of the Vertebral Column
3.0K
In addition to being held together by the intervertebral discs, adjacent vertebrae also articulate with each other at synovial joints formed between the superior and inferior articular processes called zygapophysial joints (facet joints). These are plane joints that provide for only limited motions between the vertebrae. The orientation of the articular processes at these joints varies in different regions of the vertebral column and serves to determine the types of motions available in each...

In a dataset, the 5-number summary includes the minimum data value, the data value of the first quartile, the median data value or data value of the second quartile, the data value of the third quartile, and the maximum data value. These 5 data values can be visualized as a box and whisker plot.
In a box plot, the minimum and maximum data values represent the lower and upper whiskers in the graph, and the median is designated as the center of the box in the chart. The first quartile and third...

01:16Vertebral Column: Regions and Curvature
5.9K
The vertebral column or spine is a flexible column that supports the head, neck, and body and allows for their movements. It also protects the spinal cord.
Regions of the Vertebral Column
In an adult, the spine is subdivided into five regions: the cervical, the thoracic, the lumbar, the sacral, and the coccygeal region. The spine initially develops as a series of 33 vertebrae; after 20 years of age, the nine bones in the sacral region, five sacral, and four coccygeal bones fuse to form...

01:27Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists
627
5-HT3 receptor antagonists, such as dolasetron, granisetron (Kytril), ondansetron (Zofran), and palonosetron (Axoli), are crucial in managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and postoperative nausea. These drugs selectively block 5-HT3 receptors in the visceral vagal and spinal afferent nerves, chemoreceptor trigger zone, and the vomiting center. They have a rapid onset of action and can be given as a single dose before chemotherapy. Ondansetron and granisetron, in particular,...

02:22The Colonization of Land

Changes in the environment of the early Earth drove the evolution of organisms. As prokaryotic organisms in the oceans began to photosynthesize, they produced oxygen. Eventually, oxygen saturated the oceans and entered the air, resulting in an increase in atmospheric oxygen concentration, known as the oxygen revolution approximately 2.3 billion years ago. Therefore, organisms that could use oxygen for cellular respiration had an advantage. More than 1.5 years ago, eukaryotic cells and...
