In today's episode we will begin Chapter 5 and a discussion of full spine Radiography.  Full spine x-rays are not only essential to the Gonstead work, but for any chiropractor who would attempt to address the biomechanics component of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex.  As we begin, we will discuss the proper procedure for taking accurate and valuable x-rays that give insight into each patient's unique condition.
