Editorial Reviews

Review

"For students of chiropractic and manual therapy, Bergmann (chiropractic methods, Northwestern Health Sciences U.) and Peterson (chiropractic sciences, Western States Chiropractic College) outline the basic principles needed to evaluate, select, and apply specific procedures, with an emphasis on thrust techniques. They cover chiropractic history, anatomy and biomechanical principles, joint examination, manipulative mechanics, the application of mobilization and traction, and adjustive techniques for the spine, pelvis, and extremities. This edition has updated and expanded content on joint assessment, joint subluxation/dysfunction, adjustive mechanics, and sacroiliac articulation, and updated and modified procedures, and it names each of the adjustive procedures following patterns used by the US National Board of Chiropractic Examiners. Access to how-to videos of about 300 procedures is provided online."

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Must-Have" for chiro student
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2009
Verified Purchase
I bought this book on the recommendation of a Palmer instructor. One of the biggest problems I've had is finding another student to practice with. Not only that, if you practice adjusting wrong, you learn wrong and waste a lot of time & effort - not to mention your frustration level goes into orbit...

The instructors in the classes almost make it look too easy. But they've had tons of experience. Things get a lot more confusing when there are so many techniques, what not to do, where to put your hands, how to stabilize, etc etc etc. This book, though pricey, is concise and to the point with lots of photos - where to place your hands, patient positions, doctor stance, lines of drive & correction, multiple techniques, extremities adjusting, and so forth. School is so hectic and there is so much to learn, so many exams & practicals, boards, more exams, internal orals, etc. We already spend a large fortune on tuition. If you're going to invest in your future, why skimp on the few things that can make your adjusting life a bit easier?

My only regret is that I wish I'd bought and started reading this book in my first quarter at Palmer.

Great book for the Chiropractic student, it just needs a serious update and overhaul of the photographs which are circa 1980's era. All in all a great purchase though!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good textbook, bad video links.
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2021
Verified Purchase
Good textbook but I wish the video links worked/were more accessible. This is especially required in the current times of online coursework and missing valuable hands on time of chiropractic training. When trying to use this text and accompanying photos and videos to supplement my education it is made much more difficult by having to track down where exactly to access the videos despite there being what appear to be in text video links that should be readily usable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not impressed with the kindle version
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2013
Verified Purchase
This review is only for the kindle version of this Book, the book itself is in depth and closer to a 5 star, but I've been using this kindle version for just a little while and some of the links you click on take you to the wrong figure in the book, overall it just isn't as easy to navigate around as I would think the paper book would be. I am using an ipad to view the book, I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

Detailed text, well laid out and easy to read. The book is a 'MUST' in my clinic. The images accompanying the text help to clarify otherwise complicated procedures, which other textbooks lack. Great book, highly recommended.
