OD ATIENT CHIROPRACTOR .az Wada! mm Innate Analysis and Innate Adjusting is not a technique, but is an ART. When this art is thuroughly mastered, the Innate spec ialist can accurately check on the effici- ency of any technique, in just a few min- utes. IVlost Chiropractic techniques are not much more than 50!0 efficient This is enough to provide good results, but mas tering the art of Innate Analysis and Ad faster recovery and more permanent All same thing without, in most cases, realiz- ing what it is that produces the good re- sults that most Chiropractors enjoy. Innate Analysis and Innate Adjusting is the result of my 55 years of active experi- ence and is not for sale. It is our gift to what we Chiropractors call Innate, the Source of Life. Bill Bahan and I are al- ways happy to share an autographed copy of the Innate Adjuster with any INNATE CHIROPRACTOR.

Logan. We find him suffering from what was later diagnosed as double sciatica. Forced by the sev- erity of his condition, Hugh B. sought medical assistance. Threatened by the blade of traditional methods of cor- rection and healing, our hero searches alternatives to those procedures. Informed by some unknown source, our hero Hugh B., finds himself at a chiropractic office. Unlike those of traditional methods, our hero is fascinated with the premise of chiropractic and its relationship to structure and function. With just a few adjustments, the recuperative powers within his body responded, restoring almost all nor- mal functions for him. Still plagued with intermittent pain, our hero finds himself on the west coast seeking a couple of chiropractors with a reputation of results using a light touch technic. After being under their care for a time, Hugh B. finds the complete and total restoration of normal bodily functions that he knew exsisted within his body. After long in-depth research, education and clinical observation, came the birth of Logan Basic Technic, and the chiropractic college that upholds this premise in St. Louis, Missouri. Hugh B. Logan Chiropractic College has promoted the Logan technic with great success since 1930. It has been postulated by Hugh B. Logan, The vertebral body of the lowest movable vertebra will rotate to the side of best support, usually indicated by the low side of the sacrum. It has also been postulated that due to the sac- roiliac articulations, the sacrum will move anterior and inferior on the side of misalignment, unless the subluxation is due to severe trauma. With the proper line of correction and with a contact on the side of misalignment taken normally inferior to the sacrotuberous and the sacrospinous ligaments will correct the misalignment and thus the resotration of structure and function. Logan Basic method was brought to Palmer Chiropractic College, one year ago by Dr. Fred J. Gehl and Andrew Winter. Logan Basic method is now under the direction and instruction of Dr. Don Fink, D.C. of Palmer College of Chiropractic.

Thousands of hours of planning and discussion have elapsed since the initial phase of this program. Shortly Phase 1 will be completed with a complete new set of unillustra- ted notes published. Phase 2 involves the supplementation of diagrams and illustrations to these notes. Phase 3 involves the creation of new technique course modules encompas- sing the spinal examination Cstatic palpation, motion palpation, spinal contour analysis, skin temperature analysis, X-ray analysis, and spinal newromusculo-osseous testsl pre- sent with the adjusting technique. Emphasis will also be placed on spinal mechanics and the pathomechanics of the subluxation. Phase 4 will see the publishing of the first Palmer Technique lVlanual in several decades. lVlany Palmer faculty doctors of the present and past technique department have contri- buted to this effort. At the conclusion of the project all will be recognized. Those current- ly associated with the program are: Drs. Ronald Ashe, Michael Bovee, Mickey Burt, J. Richard Burns, Patricia Carrigg, Leonard Edwards, lVlarjorie Johnson, Willard Smith, Donald Spechy, Denny Stiervvalt, Thomas Swearingen, and Frank Willhite.

RIDLER A ALYSIS The Ridler technique of analysis deals with the energy system of the body. It makes particular use of the aura and cer- tain reflex points related to the functional and structural integrity of the systems of the body. This system of reflex points is arranged in series. Testing by contact any point in a series will indicate the functional inte- grity of the system up to that point. In using Ridler analysis the doctor is able to determine whether a particular re- flex point is active, thereby indicating a condition of dis-ease. Since these points are arranged in ser- ies he is able to trace the condition back to its ORIGIN be it emotional, structural, or nutritional. Making Contact with a reflex point in- volved in a dis-ease process might be lik- ened to shorting out that person's energy system, causing an immediate decrease in muscle strength. To trace the problem back to its origin involves making contact with other reflex points, representative of re- lated bodily processes, until the doctor finds one or more points that counter the weakness. Thus, as a reflex points in- volved in the same dis-ease process are contacted one after the other in series, the doctor can trace the problem back to its origin. The doctor may trace the problem to a subluxation, in which case a vertebral reflex point is active. There even exists a method to determine the specific listing. Most importantly, Ridler analysis in- forms the doctor as to the cause of the sub- luxation. lt is in this respect that Ridler analysis proves to be the most valuable. 1. CLAY THCMPSO , D.C. Having just returned from my second visit to Japan this year, holding a second seminar in Chiropractic practice and technique, I am delighted to see the enthusiastic response to my first visit. Most Doctors in Japan are bone setters and accupuncturists. Chiropractic has given them new insight into health and heal- ing where many are limiting their practice to adjusting the spine only. -ftt On the broad sense this has resulted in better results than any of the previous practices. It is difficult for the average oriental to understand why chiropirac- fff tors in the States are taking such interest in accupuncture when the results of Chiropractic afeiso far reaching. The world has known of accupuncture for so many years, had it created the results that some American Doctorslthinik it does, Chiropractic would never catch on in these far flung countries as itistoday. My technic is unlike most in the ease of application when properly understood. It affords the Doctor of Chiro- practic not only a superb method of analysis, but also gives an excellent means of verification of correction of the patient's problem following the adjustment. The philosophy of my approach is rather unique in its simplicity. It is based on the basic premise of Chiroprac- tic itself in that it utilizes the inherent or Innate ability of the human organism to maintain homeostasisg as well as the ability of the body to signal the approach or pre- sence of organic disturbances by way of various structural manifestations of adaption. It is in fact the interpretation of these structural changes, regardless of thier subtlty, that enables the practioner to correctally ascertain the patient's problem. In my seminars at home or in Japan, I maintain that Chiropractic is a complete and adequate healing arts profession within itself. There is no reason to deviate from the straight Chiropractic principles that B.J. set down in his writings. My technic reflects this idea in principle, and in practice. My best wishes to all, J. Clay Thompson, D.C.
