Pettibon Spinal Mechanics Thompson Technic Dr. Burl pettibon Dr, J, Clay Thompson Sacro-Occipital Technic 1002 Montery Lane 1421 East Locust Dr. M. B. DeJarnette Tacoma, WA 98400 Davenport, IA 52803 Nebraska City, NB 68410 It is apparent from studying the nature of things that a process of evolution is a universal principle. All things tend to change and to improve or they disappear. The future is built upon the past through a process of applying wisdom gained from experi- ence to that which has validity from the past. Our direct ancestor, D. D. Palmer, understood this process and envisioned the expansion of his concept of Innate Intelligence when he wrote in THE CHIROPRAC- TIC ADJUSTOR 1910: As a means of relieving human suffering and disease. . .Chi- ropractic. . .is entitled to the seat of distinction and honor. But as soon as the human mind is capable of absorbing a still more refined and advanced system it will be forthcoming... - , rtr I It is the nature of man to limit and define the experiences of reraflfigtyg .i,t ,intoa neat and rational order, forming islands of definitions in the midst of thesea ofthe infinite ln- nate. However, it is not the nature of Innate to restrict itself to the islands of man. Man, being a finite portion of Innate, has the potential of all that he is a part of. Work against the desire to label and define, be receptive to the infinite capacity of the Innate that makes you, draw upon this energy to make your technique work, and it shall. In the hands of those who have mastered their techniques, all techniques are successful. These Chiropractors have mastered their link with Innate. Chiropractic should be the striving towards the origin of health, the primary cause. The name is fluent by this definition. Once determined, measured, and concluded, it is forever confined. Anything defined is less than infinite, anything defined is less than Innate. A new title is to be found. Ghonstead Toffness Technic Logan Basic Dr. C. S. Ghonstead J. N. Toffness, D.

Professional competence is the first basic ingredient a doctor must have to be truly successful! The lVlasters' Clinic Seminar, conducted by Dr. Ronald lVlasters, Sr., of lVlason City, Iowa offers a wealth of meat and potatoes technique know-how. Dr. llllasters' research into the occipital subluxa- tion has long been famous in the profession. Now he brings to you his equally famous sacral balance tech- nic. Included in the complete seminar package will be soft tissue and extremity technics, x-ray analysis and even visceral adjusting methods. Dr. Masters uses Shorty to indicate and demon- strate the proper contacts on the occiput. He points out just how simple it is to make the correct adjust- ment ofthe condyles. Approximately 14 different con- tacts can be used. PETTIBO The question is often asked why the Pettibon and Grostic practioners insist upon giving the subluxation a numerical val- ue rather than simply a direction of misalignment. Specificity. There is more than setting the vertebra or vertebrae in motion. lt does matter which side you adjust on. If you are going to specify which side, you might as well be even more specific. Relativity is an inescapable quality of the subluxation in determining the severity of its existence. Relativity in this instance is something like gravity or Innate Intelligence. Giving that quality of relativity a numeri- cal value doesn't add to or take anything from it, it merely makes it more describable and thus more communicable. Dr. Burl Pettibon has taken the Grostic procedures a few steps further. The Pettibon procedure gives the subluxation a magnitude, measuring the resistance holding the verte- M, 515 X ff-7' ,f PeHlbo1QN act1c brae in their subluxated state. We now can measure the resistance of the discs, ligaments, muscles and other soft tissues of the spine. Sometimes Chiropractors freeze up and become negative toward measured analysis be- cause the word Scientific usually is associated with it. They are programmed antagonis- tically to that word because they relate it to the medical profession. With measured analy- sis, it's the application of that analysis that is so vitally important. With Pettibon we're gettin them bones to shuck and jive Chiropractically, an observable phenomenon. Come and take a good look.
