Newtonian Law and Corrective Biomechanics

Introduction The human frame is a three-dimensional quasi “rigid body” (a solid body that tends not to change shape when forces are applied to it) that follows and obeys the laws of nature. Concepts such as “large masses have leverage over small masses” (i.e., the...

Building an Accurate X-Ray

Introduction X-ray alignment, placement, and analysis are the three pieces to calculating the perfect correction vector. Alignment of your x-ray machine is the first step. It is a cumbersome process but once completed it is checked semi-annually. The analysis is a...

Measuring Posture Means Nothing

For the past several months I have been trying to wrap your heads around the relationship between the vector and posture. We have long looked at the ASC on an island and not as a piece to the puzzle. It is this monocle view that has limited our ability to access the...

Leverage Points and the Wrist Lever

Introduction QSM3 is a specific system to direct the calculated vector down the correct resistant pathways and to understand what direction the resistant must be overcome (leverage points). These two factors are fundamentals that, when mastered, will elevate each...

Torque Totally Misunderstood by the UC Practitioner

Discussion The concept of torque has been around for decades. Its foundation to create a circular motion that turns C2 directly is incorrect.  From its inception it has never been revisited, revamped, or rethought. Each new generation has continued to teach...

Counter Rotation

Discussion If you have been looking below C7 to access the complete pathways of the spinal misalignment, you are now well aware of the many configurations that can exist. To think that one headpiece placement is enough minimizes our work. This month’s discussion is an...
