johnny ladies and gentlemen,

it's been a long time since I've been playing with a 

low back.

In fact,

I was in training when I first 

started and got interested because I had 

a devil of a back of my own and I 

hadn't been around there long until I realized that 

nobody knew anything about them.

So my chief got pretty provoked at me for the 

time I was wasting.

But with any year he become completely 

convinced 

and called me in and told me this 

had to be published.

This is the greatest thing in 100 years.

And he lined me up to give it at New 

Orleans in 1932.

So that's how long I've been talking 

On the low back in 1932.

Now we'll get started on these 

because we're running late.

We better get 

going.

Does the bright lights stay on?

Hmm.

To ask.

Yes.

Tell me how your point.

Oh,

I thank you.

Alright,

let's start with the first slide.

We have it here.

Human posture is 

unique without,

within the animal kingdom.

There's nothing else that has it.

It's the art of 

balancing a massive 

superstructure on a small 

base of support.

However,

we have a potential base 

quite large.

Any phase of which we can use at a moment's 

notice of a disturbance in the center of 

gravity of the trunk.

I say,

any phase of which,

although it's hip joint 

motions our only to the side 

front,

not backward.

When you take a step backward,

you're having to arch your lovable sacred 

spine.

What's the next?

Now?

This is a review of the posture 

in some of the primates.

A up there is the 

recent tree shrew.

It has a massive hamstring,

it attaches to the two thirds of the lower end of 

the femur.

In the upper one half of the tibia,

it is attached to the SQL tubarao city which 

lies a long way behind the hip joint 

has a powerful leverage.

This is a muscle that permits this animal to 

lunge forward.

It is opposed by the 

ilo source and 

the maximus.

The and the 

these two are attached down as low 

as a junction In the middle of lower three 

the beauteous and Delius source so that they 

have quite a long leverage on the hip 

joint so that this 

animal is typically a quadruped 

moving over to the rhesus monkey.

Yes.

Still two velocities moved in a little closer.

The hamstrings are now attached to the 

Lower 2/3 in the upper 

one half of 

the 

the upper.

I can't see what's good for me.

That's the upper four.

Yeah the lower 1/2 and the upper 4th of the 

tibia.

Uh the hip joint has 

extended at least 30 degrees from what it 

is here so that the 

hamstrings are falling more in line 

with the femur and approaching 

the vertical axis is the hip 

joint.

It's still a good extensive 

of the hip but nothing like this.

These ilia saurus and 

the maximus 

are shown here.

They these attacks as far forward as a tense 

dorsal vertebrae and the maximus 

as you see is a hip flexor,

it's attached to the front of the hip joint.

They're not attached as low as they are here.

They've migrated up the shaft so that the 

leverage on the hip joint is a little less 

strong than it is over here.

Now the knee joint has extended 

90° from what it was 

coming down here to the gorilla.

The alias source has gone up the back.

The bloodiest maximus has 

moved down and around so that its 

posterior fibers are coming all 

the way down to the knee joint,

thus reinforcing 

the hamstring muscles,

which have become very weak 

because the ferocity is 

turning under and approaching 

the vertical access to the hip joint.

The knee joint has straightened out a 

little further than in the reaches,

but this animals begin to get in a dangerous 

situation.

His hip flexes have gone up his back 

and down behind as extensive 

and his powerful hip extensive have 

moved under the pelvis 

so that they're becoming more of a stabilization of the 

pelvis in the erect position 

rather than a power 

of push off.

Nature had to move in and do something about it.

So the intensive fashion 

was started in these animals 

here,

it's a fashion that comes up and attached 

to the pelvis and down and attaches around the knee joint.

It prevents us from going back 

otherwise if we keep on going,

we're going to flip wrong side out.

So now we come up to man who kept on 

going.

His elio sauce is going straight up the back.

The glorious has removed has has come 

back behind entirely 

so that it has become a powerful hip,

extensive.

The ferocity with its attachment of the 

hamstrings has moved under,

approaching very 

closely the vertical axis of the hip joint.

We are in danger of 

flipping wrong side out here 

because our flexes have gone 

and our extensive hours 

are nothing like they were over here,

but they are still strong enough to 

flip us wrong side out.

If it wasn't for the fact that nature moved in and 

reinforced that sense of fashion 

in man is a powerful structure.

It attached to the Anterior 3rd of the Ilium 

tv inguinal 

ligament and a 

clear over to the Tabernacle of the pubic 

bone and the tense of 

muscle itself is enclosed in an envelope of 

fashion,

but that on the back of it and then on the front of it 

meet just below it and combine 

into a terrifically strong ligament 

that runs all the way down to the upper end of the tibia.

The elio tibial uh 

ligament.

Our band is a powerful thing 

so that we've got the main force 

here to keep us from turning wrong side 

out in the fashion 

intensive fashion.

Not only that we've got it so strong down 

there that in many people,

it's too strong 

and is holding them down in a 

position like this.

So it has to be stretched out in some of 

them,

and a lot of them.

On the other hand,

when you go to deal with people standing like this,

you don't have to worry about their tensors being short,

but you can put them on the table and check them and see 

and if they are short,

then it's very important to stretch them out to 

let them lift the front of the to 

avoid the lord dot strain Lord 

position.

Uh 

Next 

in the light.

This is a sketchy drawing 

showing,

let the hip joint has 

gone as far into extension 

as it safely can do.

It has reached the point the point 

where if we go beyond it is completely 

unsafe and it lacks still 

about 35 degrees 

of going into complete 

extension.

In other words,

it's about the angle of tilt here 

is hear that this don't go out to 

here,

it lacks that far of going in 

line with the vertical axis of the hip 

joint.

The it's the female itself,

but it's about the same angle that 

the sacred table makes with 

the horizontal up at the 

okay uh Help begin.

So that those those two angles are very 

similar in in their wits,

but that's as 

far as we dare go.

And that's why in a backwards step 

when you get so far you've reached your hip 

limit and to take a long backward 

step,

you have to arch your lumbar,

sacral spine.

Next 

this is a sketch showing a 

normal lumber sacral angles of average 

angles About 40,

but they vary from 25 to 

70.

Yeah,

and depending on how soon you break down 

your disk,

depends on how great that angle is.

When it gets up to 70 you're eventually going to 

break down the lower three discs in your back.

The of course the third one is the last one to 

go,

but it goes after midlife in most people 

who have an angle of 

70° because they 

have to bend so severely to stand up.

Now you see that the foramen are wide 

open,

the nerves that come through coming through there 

not being irritated in any way the 

facet joints are in a normal 

relationship,

They're not subluxation or override.

Next please,

That's beautiful.

Okay,

alright.

These begin to the bottom one begins to 

break down very early in life,

all the things you've heard called 

growing pains in kids,

little kids,

our disks that have ruptured already 

at that phase in life,

of course the nucleus is very gelatinous at that 

stage.

But this was a seven year 

old child.

And you see on this side that the disk is down 

The 5th lumbar is almost resting directly 

on the first section.

And if you look to the right you see the 

first sacrifice set lodged in 

the inter vertebral,

not to the fifth lumbar vertebrae 

exactly where the fifth lumbar 

nerve traverse is the canal 

as it comes out.

Now this was only a seven year old 

child which we brought in for why?

Because of growing pains.

And I ran for a year.

I ran at with the 

assistance of A.

I.

Pediatrician growing pain 

groups and the disk has already let 

down in that stage.

Next please.

Now this is where we end up in the erect position.

And you will note that our center of gravity 

is thrown on the very back edge of the disk in the 

neck.

The disk is the only 

supporting tissue,

soft tissue supporting tissue in the 

spine.

Uh I was Still talking about the other one.

But can you go Back to 

that other 1?

But you see what the center of gravity comes through.

It falls down through the back edges of the 

disc,

in the cervical region and 

through the joints.

And actually through the Spartans processes.

Then it moves down and look what it does at 

the lumbar sacral region.

Your main power,

your main load is carried 

right on those posterior structures 

of the disc,

which is the first thing to give way because it's a soft 

tissue supportive structure there.

But within that bend backward 

where we're compressing it fearfully 

making a bow out of it without 

lumbar uh 

muscles acting as a bow 

string.

Next 

Now here's the way we would be if we grew up as 

we're born.

This upright position that man has 

acquired ah 

not last 50 or 

20,000 years 

is an acquired characteristic.

If we remained as were created and born 

we would be walking as did ancient Man like it's 

shown there in Figure eight.

In other words this 

would be the position.

Mhm.

But after birth 

we do that takes us a year to 

stand up,

Takes us three years to get her balance.

And then from there on it's stand 

up straight,

stand up,

straight,

sit up straight and so on.

Yet.

There's very few people that do it.

You can hardly see anyone that hasn't got their knee 

crossed or their knees higher.

That's the only position of comfort in 

city 

because when you rare backwards you close in 

on those structures.

Let me have the next one please,

nah,

this is a get the light again 

here on the left you see in the dope 

that has a normal 

appearing lumber saker of this.

They cassettes are in pretty 

good relationship.

The foramen is not closed.

The nerve has plenty of room to come through.

But if you look here behind should 

have been taken better.

You see a large 

5th lumbar spine is process and a 

large first sacral spine is process.

Uh 

they're making contact here a weight 

bearing contact and that 

never will close or let down any 

further because bone has hit bone 

and one bone rests against bone.

Your you stopped,

you're settling of the dish.

Now on the right there.

You see another adult 

that don't.

This this to have this large 

first sacral and that one large is pretty rare 

thing,

but when it does occur it will protect the 

dish from collapsing.

Clear down.

Now over there you see the disk is gone from behind,

lumbar is resting on the first central 

practically and Superior.

1st Sacrifice,

except is lodged in the 

not Through which the 5th 

lumbar nerve is emerging.

Next.

Please right 

now you get up occasionally 

to settle down and contact the vertical 

themselves First.

In other words,

here's a Tilt of a bone about 

25° in the sacred table.

This is much less than the average.

The 5th lumber are settled until it's 

resting on the point of 

weight bearing is between the two vertebral 

bodies themselves here.

Why?

Because the first sacred 

facets are very short,

they have not lodged in the notch.

We still have a wide open notch for 

the nerve to emerge through.

And our point,

our basis of bony 

sustenance is between the 

bodies of the vertebrae themselves,

between the fifth and the first.

Next.

Now,

here you see it lodged in the inferior table 

nine has been taking the weight of this 

trunk for so long.

That's taking the weight.

I mean that's the bony 

contact that transmits the 

trump weight to the felt that is 

taking the weight and has been doing so so long 

that it is rounded off on top.

You see here's where the bottom of the Inferior 

one of the 50s,

but that has become a weight bearing structure.

Born against bone.

Next please,

Here you have another one 

bone against bone in the 

notch.

The top of it rounded off from long 

years of continued weight bearing on it.

But you have here also the 

disk is down post eerily until it's 

making contact with the first signal.

But there's a posterior 

displacement Of the body 

of L.

five on S.

One.

Why?

Why?

Because the downward and 

backward plane of those 

articulations is 

down and back and for that 

disk to settle and 

collapse.

Sir,

it has to slide down the joint 

dislocates and it slides down 

that down and backward plane of those.

Percents.

And pulls the fifth lumbar vertebrae with 

it.

And you see that has been riding up in there 

for years to in order to get rounded off to 

that extent.

Next I hear 

you see another one,

This lodge dumped in there and has cut a notch 

erosion a notch into 

the Inferior 5th Lumbar 

Notch.

Uh This is not to calm,

but Why does that one cut a 

notch and another one throw out a 

spur.

Well,

I went through that too for a couple of years.

This one,

I can tell you has a uric acid that 

is well down in within normal limits.

Next.

Please here's 

one that's thrown out a spur where 

there's been weight bearing in the notch,

right where the nerve is 

joan Alice per.

And if you look over there,

there's another spur on the anterior edge.

This group constitutes 

those who are inclined to be on the gaudy 

side and run an elevated 

serum uric acid because they deposit 

those fine crystals and small vessels 

around the point of irritation and it becomes 

calcified so 

that uh my 

experience these notches 

all the way up and down the spine.

Can tell you a lot about the 

constitutional patient as far as 

Gaudi or not.

Gaudy.

Next please.

Ah here is a skeleton showing the same 

thing.

Can you imagine a 

spur formation that big Within the 

notch of the 5th Lumber Nerve.

What's happened to the 5th number nerve.

And look at this superior first sacred.

You can tell by a glance that it's hard to 

donated.

I did a section of it and it's just 

completely dense bone.

Couldn't even find any suggestion of any card 

in the surface anywhere.

But that weight has been carried 

in that.

Not for years in order 

to do that.

Next,

please.

Now,

here's another one.

That surgical section you see 

here the disk is down,

you see some residual of the disc 

remains back here.

You see that hole is constricted.

That's the hole through which the nerve comes out.

I opened it up to what I figured that 

was before it broke down.

Here's what it did to the frame into which the nerve comes 

through and there you see the sea to our throw 

sis the track of the 

overriding of that joint which had 

been standing down there about a quarter of an inch 

new joint because of the subluxation,

false joint below that.

But it opens up for Raymond 

to a normal side.

Next.

Please.

Now,

on the fourth lumbar,

it's usually different to fourth.

Don't nearly catch the 

the fifth lumbar nerve is frequently 

As does the 5th.

You see this disc is down here but this 

one's down too.

Why?

Because the spine is 

process of force has settled Against the 

spinal process of five 

and that's become a weight bearing joint and don't 

think they can become painful.

Those pseudo art.

And you see the subluxation Is not severe,

there's still room for the 4th lumber nerve to come 

through there without being crushed to make 

every time you bend backwards.

Uh Next 

and There is a 5th lumbar vertebra 

that is 1/4 lumbar vertebra 

that has settled onto the spine is process of the 5th 

lumbar vertebrae.

Ah all of that 

irregularity and roughness 

has developed there from a 

false weight bearing joints 

between the spine ist processes.

But once usually established a bony 

a point of contact and weight bearing.

That's as far as the dis settles.

But can you imagine the pain 

that that sort of a situation would 

produce in in between this finest 

processes themselves.

Next,

please.

Uh huh.

Here's a sagittal section,

showing The 5th disc is down 

and showing there is a complete 

subluxation of the 

articulation.

In other words,

the Superior 1st Sacral Cassette 

is lying right against the 5th 

lumbar nerve.

That's a nerve right,

lying right against each other.

Can you imagine just a slight hyperextension 

here?

If those muscles were to contract like a bow string,

you would only take an eighth of an inch or a little over 

to put you in bed 

because it would jam that 5th lumbar 

nerve with that of 

course severity.

Next please.

Now this is what you're aiming to do.

You're aiming to reduce the lord doses in your 

back as much as 

possible trying to 

approximate these I foid 

card please.

To the synthesis fusion 

just as I say,

half the entire audience or more of you 

are that way.

Now you're screwed it down and got your 

knees up.

That rounds it out and takes the pressure off 

of the structures behind.

Next please.

Now,

the biggest waste of money and time I know 

of in orthopedics 

is the technique of x rays 

uh for an X ray that's 

taken for an ap view of the 

lumbar sacral 

knees should be straight and hips should be 

straight to take it 

ideally would be to take it standing 

but you can't keep patient 

quiet without moving and 

messing it up.

So you put put them flat on their back,

knees,

straight,

hips straight and tilt your tube so 

that it's coming in at an angle at the top of the 

sacred table.

Next now 

here's the one that is often messed up.

They'll put this patient on their side and in order 

that they can lie there comfortably in a 

stable position.

They'll bend their knee 

well,

bending.

The knee will 

open up the majority of the 

lumber cycle spaces and it will be read as a 

normal joint.

But there are literally thousands that go 

through and are never read because the 

technician has propped the knees up so 

that they laid stable.

No,

keep those knees straight.

You usually have to put a little sandbag under the one next to the 

table to lift it a little bit provide 

a belt And that one too and 

then come down near the 

crest of the ilium.

You may have to drop a sound a meter below 

depending on the utility individual,

but you take it that way You get 

90% of without having to repeat.

But Now on this one 

This one is nobly quit and 

Notice What we had to do with that upper leg.

There we have to prop it up on three 

three sandbags in order to 

keep it from tilting the pelvis and the 

knee is straight and the hip is straight.

Be sure that at least one leg is 

always straight.

Otherwise you you 

open the lumbar sacral joint.

Now you can bend your knee on the 

leg next to the table in order to 

stabilize yourself and turn to an oblique 

position and shoot down 

obliquely through again to get 

the first set joint one on 

each side you take next.

Please.

Now the muscles that are concerned in this 

upright position,

there's the abdominal muscles we've 

sacrificed.

Those are the pro gravity muscles.

We come up against these and these hang 

flabby.

We rarely ever use these for 

any forceful movement 

because they're hanging rabidly pro 

pro gravity.

Uh Here's the back muscles.

They're always contract 

all the time you're up and going.

They're holding you up against the downward pull of 

gravity that's taking place in your neck 

and down in your back 

uh up in your neck 

all day long.

You by your head,

gravity buys it for you.

You have to lift it back up with the 

extensive muscles and hold it there.

So these become powerful.

These are flabby,

nothing to them.

So these get tighter and shorter,

clamping down on the disk in the neck 

where we also have the other Lord does.

Now the glorious 

muscle pulls down the back of the 

pelvis.

That's the same as the abdominal muscles that lifts up the 

front they work together.

But this power 

cancer that has developed in 

man runs all the way 

down here and attached is actually 

down onto the tip and that's a 

tough structure and in so 

many it is so strong that 

just it's got us held in some 

such a position so 

that any program in developing muscles 

should be developed,

abdominal muscles 

develop gluteal muscles,

stretch the direct 

this party and stretch the 

tensor factor.

That's the basic of.

Alright,

let's see the next 

Now pro longstanding these are common causes 

of pain in the back,

bending over a wash bastard lifting a 

window that's stuck in women so many it used 

to be and now it's lifting the garage doors,

working with the arms over the head and 

sneezing.

Common things in the history,

uh 

prolonged standing 

after so long standing,

you get tired and you do this,

you let go of your muscles 

and that lets you stick out in front down 

here,

that shifts your center of gravity,

Talk forward and overcome it.

You've got to lean your trunk back to senator 

senator gravity.

So as I'll show you 

bend the knee one or both.

If you have to stand long 

bending over a wash base.

And how many men do you hear?

Say it just kills me to shave.

But also how many 

men do you have?

Tell you?

You know something doctor,

I've discovered that if I bend my knees and 

my head,

I could share you without hurting my back.

That's so common.

If you take many at all 

lifting a window that's stuck 

garage doors where they 

bend over up here 

and lift the door and 

they're back with these 

powerful contraction of those 

lower spinal muscles bolstering in 

action,

closing those joints right down tight 

on each other.

Ah sneezing,

sneezing.

It's another thing when you gave a sneeze,

you get a jerk throughout all your nerves to some 

extent in the fine 

due to the fluid pressure.

But 

you may,

if you are in an erect position when it 

happens,

you frequently end up in bed 

where you're gonna stay for several days where it 

really hits and hits hard.

But again,

the patients that I've seen through the years that had 

learned of their own records 

when they feel a sneeze coming on to get close to the 

there,

chest,

close to the knees 

and you can jerk those nerves and it 

don't hurt.

Now I don't hurt up here because the holes are open wide 

and slick and what a little jerk you get,

don't hurt but down there where 

the nerve is anchored 

and has adhesions around it and the 

1st sacred set is against 

it.

You Jerk on that one 

and you go to bed If you get a pretty good 

jerk next please 

prolonged standing shows here in this 

first one what the effect of it 

is.

Now in other words,

that patient has let go like that.

They've gotten tired.

All you have to do is what shows and be 

then one knee or both of them 

that much and that makes you bend 

your trump forward and 

reduces a holler in your low back 

from what you're doing this 

hi,

he is the first worst thing that anybody ever thought 

of.

It's the most hideous thing from our back 

standpoint for every quarter of 

an inch that you lift that heel,

you have to arch a little further back 

so that when you get really up here,

you're really closed back on those 

structures at the lumbar sacral joint,

you have to as you come higher,

it throws your weight on the ball of your foot 

and that's if your center of gravity forward and to 

put it back in balance,

you have to put your trunk back 

pregnant.

How many pregnant women told me 

my first thing in the low back occurred during my 

first pregnancy.

Well,

that's not so hard to explain.

You see the load goes in 

front and protrudes out from the 

lower abdomen.

What does that do that throws their center of gravity clear 

off.

It's in this and they would 

fall right over if 

it wasn't for putting the trunk back 

this way and centering the center of gravity.

Next 

there's the kind of positions that women 

get into when they're not 

out where they can be seen,

they they 

enjoy curling up in some of those 

positions.

All they're doing is rolling out 

the holler out of the back and opening up the 

lumber sacred a joint.

And a male.

He don't care.

He'll he'll catch him in his hand and hold 

them.

He'll do it out in public.

But a lady,

she desert around the house when nobody 

sees it,

it's just position of comfort.

Next 

everyone should maintain the ability to 

to squat flat footed all their lives.

Now it gets rough as you get older.

See our sin,

I'll soon be 30 

but I still 

squad on my exercises 

And I'm 77 to tell you the truth.

That will be in four months.

But you need to maintain that because 

women especially as they get older,

begin to work in the yard and 

they never squat down for anything.

They bend over from here and 

lift the drugs this way,

closing down with a bow string 

tough action right on 

next week.

Uh,

when you've got a job to do in front of you 

don't ever lean forward with 

your knees straight,

look what you do.

All the load your trunk is being held with this 

bolstering contraction here of these 

directors finding monsters.

If they were to give for an institute fall off the floor,

they're holding you up and clamping you tight together.

All you have to do is bend your knees 

and you eliminate 

who that lord position next please.

That's just before having a crash.

Next.

That is the worst lift of all that load he's got 

out in front of him.

Yes,

he is out here 20 

inches in front of the fulcrum.

The muzzles he's lifting it with are less than 

2" behind the folks.

So that is terrific the 

power on that And then 

The one beyond him.

That's here.

He won't get that down without the next 

no,

I don't lift with your knees straight.

Always have one ft flat on the floor 

or both feet.

You can lift us both feet.

But the minute you get 

down on both tiptoes,

well,

I'll fall,

I'll show you you arch your back,

I'll drive as soon as you get on both 

tiptoe and then if you lift from 

that position you're gonna get in trouble.

Don't do it squat down and lift 

and have one ft flat on the floor at all 

times neck please.

Now that is a good load to carry.

I have treated many a patient by putting about 

a 35 pound load on their back and asking 

him to carry it a mile twice a day.

That load is being carried 

by these muscles 

powerfully contract to hold 

that.

This is opened up of the 

joints,

the subluxation joint,

the pressures off of them and the closure on 

the nerves.

It's open.

Uh A lot of primitive people 

do their lifting and carrying in that fashion.

Well,

I was a pulling their boats and things 

along the canals,

the far east.

It's a rope that they're pulling 

with over the short,

it's pulling with their belly 

muscle.

And another thing if you remember those 

primitives,

they found in the Philippines about four years 

ago.

Five.

Remember all those pictures you saw in them 

papers.

They were always like that 

in a flat footed squat position.

That's the way they rest.

Mhm.

Next.

Most chairs are too high for women.

Their knees drop below.

Especially in theaters,

in places,

knees drop below the hips,

throwing the holler in the back,

Their back begins to eight.

They can eliminate it by crossing a 

knee across one knee across the other 

nearby.

Roll their hauls out of the back next please.

And if that if that chair is 

contoured right it can be made of 

concrete and it'll be comfortable 

next.

How many a many a man I've seen that 

has had to give up his work as a traveling 

salesman because of his low back.

But after instructing him in a full 

program and making him one of 

the most important things that 

pushing his seat forward as far as it'll 

go and then rolling his buttocks 

forwards a bit.

Get his knees above his hips.

And I've Never seen one 

that couldn't go back and return 

and I never had them return again once they did 

that.

But they're back.

I've put many and many a man back on the road 

just by that simple measure and 

he can travel and be comfortable next please.

The old fashioned rocking chair which you can't see.

Very good in that.

one is one of the most 

comfortable seats that was ever made,

especially for mothers who had left their babies out of 

cribs.

Put them up here and carry them around.

No they sit down in the rocking 

chair and they 

maintain their back in 

good contour.

In fact it's comfortable to anybody 

is a chair in that position.

What was his name,

Kennedy,

President Kennedy.

He spent most of the years as presidencies.

Hadn't been one of those things.

He discovered that it was the only thing he was 

comfortable in an old fashioned rocking chair.

Next thing 

never sleep on your abdomen.

You're arching your back and you're twisting your neck,

sleep on your side curled up 

and with your knees pulled up until your law 

back is rounded backward 

or sleep on.

And the next one please 

you're back with your knees propped up you 

can put that prop under the mattress 

and then you won't be losing it all the time and slipping 

out.

And also when you 

wake up enough in the night to change 

your position in your half asleep 

you're gonna pull your knees up 

into a flex position in order to avoid that 

hump in the bed next please.

Now when it comes to putting them in the hospital 

I put them in attraction like that and I put 

those that doesn't do not 

respond within a matter of 2-3 

weeks.

I keep in touch with them by phone and those 

that don't respond and 

in a Matter of two or 3 weeks time Mark 

reported marked improvement.

Put him in the hospital in a flexed 

position.

That traction.

Don't do anything of good up there as 

far as pulling anything open or apart.

All that traction does is to keep the patient from 

twisting and turning in bed and 

that's the only reason I use that next 

please.

However,

we do have attraction that we use 

next slide.

You can't see that very well.

Let's cut the lights down.

This is a band that goes 

around the upper part of the pelvis 

has two straps that comes off of it and 

come up here between the legs,

go up to a spreader up there And then 

go through a pullin down here with 25 pounds of 

weight on that keeps the 

public continually 

in a flexed position,

rounded open from behind.

Now,

next please.

And this thing here 

shows okay,

now 

chose the belt we used,

that's the front of the belt at the bottom down 

here that fastens just on the 

upper pelvis above the edge of the 

side.

And those are the two straps that come down between 

the legs and that's the spreader they join up to 

and that joints to a pulley and over the top 

for the year.

And that patient can 

start on his knee pull exercises 

which I consider the most important of all 

on leave relieving their pain.

Now someone they they hate to do worst of 

all in acute pain because those muscles are 

in severe spasm and just to 

roll like this.

But the first I had a petition 

is a long time.

But I had a guy a cowhand coming from 

west texas,

oh this has been 25 30 

years ago.

And he uh 

he wasn't used to the city stuff and he was crossing the 

street downtown to get across to my office in the 

medical arts building and he would 

just darn near hit with an automobile.

But anyhow when he got up there,

he had a fearful twist off to 

the side and forward in this fashion.

And he was in terrific pain.

And uh I let him in,

he said doctor you've got someplace I could lie down and I 

says,

yeah,

I said why I want to 

manipulate this.

I said I want to see this.

I took him in there and threw a pillow down,

he got down on the floor,

he got a hold of his knees like that 

you're wrong three or four times like 

that and then give Them one awful pull 

into his arm.

He got up with a perfectly straight spine and 

his severe pain was gone.

Now that's one that has learned that didn't learn it from 

me.

He learned it himself.

But she's very interesting next 

now after they have been taught the 

program and 

there's some of them,

especially those with the 

with around 

hollaback abdomen like this 

that have been so used to walking that for so 

long that they don't get it.

So I usually put them in a flexion jacket in that 

fashion and cut it up 

the front,

bind the edges and and put it back 

on them with a belt.

And tell them to wear it all day long to take 

it off in the evening to take their exercises.

And before they put it on in the morning,

take their exercise again.

But to wear that thing And see me in 4 

to 6 weeks time.

Well,

it certainly gives them a different idea of 

posture because by the time they've 

traveled in that thing for that long,

I have no trouble getting them to 

tend to keep forward instead of 

leading with their bellies.

Next that's 

A lumber sake reflection brace that I designed 

some 35 years ago.

Uh 

that strap that goes around the abdomen 

comes back here and through that rod that holds 

the the Sacred Bad 

who stood there at the side.

Then it goes back and attaches to the lower 

end of the lateral upright 

so that we're not uh 

strap is pulled tight.

It pulls the bottom end of 

this upright back this way 

and it puts puts This bad forward 

that these two approx.

But up there where that hinges 

where this bar attached from 

from that point up.

It also goes forward.

So that it means a pressure 

here that's in the dorsal spine 

just below the Anglos Captain 

pressure here.

And these two opposed with the pressure 

across the haven't done it some.

It's a three point pressure 

reflection brace and it's 

still gone.

And there are those 

elderly people who wouldn't be without it at all 

wear it all the time because avoid picking up 

their backs next please.

Now this is something I'm just calling your attention 

to.

It's a little off the subject but 

it's something that you should know about.

It's an up tilt of the 

lumbar sacral joint taken with the patient 

standing with knees and hips 

perfectly straight.

Uh Show me the first film with 

Nick's film office.

Now when those lines 

are about power parallel and 

both tilting to the same side,

you're dealing with a short leg on 

that far side.

Next,

please.

But when it's like that the legs are 

level.

But the there is an 

anomalous development of the first 

sacral vertebrae.

Next please,

here's the same patient.

It's the most common cause that I 

found in all my practice of so called 

idiopathic scoliosis.

It's due to a tilt of the sacred 

table.

And I have proven that on mothers who brought 

in the Children,

mother,

one mother that had a scoliosis that I 

treated for in young adult 

life and 

she moved out of town was married and came back in about 

10 years with two little Girls.

1 9 and 1 6 

and she thought she would begin to see a little 

Character in the nine year old 

lined them up and they both had the same anomaly 

mama.

Now they do,

they're not noticed.

I picked Him up at six years old,

You can't see a scoliosis at six 

unless you take an X ray of it standing.

And then it's just a thing like that.

Aosis begins at adolescence when the spine 

begins to grow and then it 

becomes very noticeable and very rapidly.

So.

And mama or anyone else can see that one shoulder is 

higher than the other.

Good.

You can take that patient 

and put a lift on that 

side 

and overcome many of these 

if you'll get them before they've reached 

the the adolescent age or or 

very soon before they reach it.

I've had some that I've had to actually 

take the lift off 

because it was over correcting once they reached 

adolescent and the spine really began to grow.

Now on the other hand,

a lot of your low back pains,

the majority of them hurt on the high 

side 

on that patient you put 

a quarter to an 

inch lift on the heel of the shoe,

on the side.

That don't hurt.

Now remember,

I don't care if it's a short side which is 

rarely that's that's 

hurting as hard as it can.

Don't you ever put 

a lift on the short side whether 

it's pain or not pain,

but most all of them The vast 

majority 2/3.

It's alongside,

they're having their painting.

You can lift this side a quarter 

38 on every shoe that goes on 

their foot and wipe many of them out 

completely just for that 

left alone.

Next.

Now when you've got a tilt that way,

if it's much of a tilt,

it's multiplied By four.

As you see 

if it's that much of a tilt,

you're gonna put the lift on the on the 

heel of the,

of the shoe,

fits onto that far leg adam.

And so that you've got About a 

# four magnification of its 

next please.

Well,

this is the neck 

and I will try to finish this later in the 

day and go into the 

exercises for the low back and the 

treatments of it.

But I'll just show you this.

You see your tilt of the 

uh first dorsal verba.

It's about a 30 five degree tilt.

The number of sacred it's 

more But that has about a 

35° tilt because the top dorsal 

is rolled forward,

The mid cervical disc is usually the 1st 1 to 

go.

And again it's taking the pressure on the very back 

edge of.

And you will see that where that disk is down 

in the middle that there is osteo fights on 

the edge of the adjacent to vertebrae.

And you will also see that the 

foramen 1,

2 and three wide open.

But you see the next one is closed 

to a half or two,

1/3 of its normal size 

and even the spine ist process have settled down together.

Now you're framing below that are wide open 

again so that you're dealing with the 

same type of mechanic and 

all they love as I already 

told you.

You by your head gravity,

does it?

You lift it back up,

your neck muscles do it 

and that I will 

try to get the rest of it is just a very 

little bit of it left.

And I want to thank you for your kind 

attention.

Yeah.
