Reddit mentions: The best chiropractic books

Good for you for wanting to understand the 300+ named techniques in chiropractic!
Technique Systems in Chiropractic is a great overview of a handful of the techniques - CBP, BEST, Activator, Cranial, Cox, Diversified, DNFT, AK, Gonstead, etc., etc. I haven't read it, but a professor provided me with her summary notes, and it's been great to understand the premise and any supporting evidence.

Gonstead has its own book covering the philosophy and the basic adjustments.

A few others to consider:

• The Chiropractic Theories: A Textbook of Scientific Research
  
  
• Technique Skills in Chiropractic
  
  
• Principles and Practices of Chiropractic
  
  I think it's a great idea to read the books and get an idea of the main premise or philosophy of the technique before shelling out the hundreds to thousands of dollars to take the seminars.
  
  Good luck to you!

I'll check that out. Thanks!

I found this book to be useful. Specifically the chapter on rehabilitation after tendon injuries. It's not all that accessible to the community though, both financially and in terms of practical knowledge. I think there is definitely needing to be written if you can stomach another one.

This book is geared towards climbing injuries but it is well written and decently digestible. If there was something more complete in terms of a gymnastic perspective, I would buy it in a heart beat.

Edit: Didn't realize you were a climber too Steve. Sorry if you were already aware of those books. Just trying to pass along the little I've learned. Thanks again for all the great info in your book(s), website, and on here!

Clinical Reason in Spine Pain: Primary Management of Low Back Disorders Using the CRISP Protocols (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0615888577/) is what I'm reading right now.

I'm honestly not learning a bunch of new stuff but there are still some clinical pearls you can learn (such as those not familiar with nerve flossing and end range loading e.g. McKenzie method). If there are any students out there reading this, I would HIGHLY recommend getting this book. It's written by one of the most respected chiros in the profession that is trying to move it forward. He also does a ton of research (Dr. Donald Murphy - http://www.rispinecenter.com/murphy.htm). It also has some great flow charts that you can use when you're in practice to show PCPs and specialists how you diagnose and treat spine disorders.

Netter's Atlas if you just want a big book with lots of great drawings of everything.

The text book has all the background information and clinical correlations, but often not as many, or smaller images. Netter's Clinical Anatomy is good if you want something a bit slimmer and simpler that still has all the basic anatomy. If you want something more beefy I highly recommend Moore's Clinical Oriented Anatomy. It's a big book, but it has everything in it you could want.

How are you with Anatomy? If not so great, first get this and learn as much in there as you can. Especially the neuro-musculo-skeletal stuff.

Now that you kind of know a little about anatomy, you'll need to learn how all those parts work. I recommend this kinesiology textbook.

Now that you know all the pieces and how they're supposed to work together, you'll need a text that talks about musculoskeletal dysfunctions and how to go about managing some of those conditions with exercise and other forms of treatment. I recommend this text for that.

Good luck!

There's a North American functional neurologist named Randy Beck (http://www.ifn.net.au/about-us/) who has a clinic here in Perth, Western Australia.
He's authored a book (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0702040622) for manual practinioners. He taught us neurology at Murdoch University in third year and knows his stuff. Something well beyond my understanding but I'd love to get into after Uni.

Zygote Body is a neat way to visualize everything put together. If you want intense reading you could buy or rent the typical medical anatomy texts online or look for them at your local library.

WOW! This is outrageous. I hope you post an update after your meeting with the dean.

If you're allowed to interview chrios via email, look for a skeptical chiropractor. Heck, maybe you could get in touch with [this guy] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/0972709495), or get a referral from [Science-Based Medicine] (http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/).

It might just be me but describing the depth of an incline press made me think for a second (I assume from the BB?) I'm going to describe it a little differently... The in-congruent position of the shoulder is at ~60^0 Abduction and 30^0 Horizontal Adduction. (Start Arms at your sides, jumping jack motion out 60^0 then arms to the middle of the body 30^0) Which means it puts the most stress on the ligament structures of the joint. I think the most potential harm for injury can come from not having adequate back muscles to stabilize the scapula during the movement if you are doing a incline bench press forcing the rotator cuff muscles to be over strained in stabilizing the joint. The question by full ROM are you talking but full extension of the lift or Full ROM of the shoulder in Abduction like doing a Military Press.... I agree with /u/narf007 too the DB could be the way to go if worried about instability.
