Technique Systems in Chiropractic Review


I am not aware of any book that covers the same subject matter. As the authors state from the outset, this book is not an advertisement for any of the techniques described in the book, but rather an honest attempt to describe them as they are. It covers the major techniques in chiropractic according to a common format, so that a patient, a chiropractic student, a chiropractor, or anyone else interested in chiropractic can figure out what it means to be treated using one technique as compared with another.

The writing is formal where it needs to be, but very casual and entertaining in places and in contexts where formality would have been more expected. For me, the best part of the book are the chapter introductions. There are anecdotes and personal observations that really make these techniques come alive, and give us a window into how this book came into being. Cooperstein and Gleberzon obviously love these techniques, even the ones where they could not contain their skepticism. It's all chiropractic to them.
Clearly, as authors, teachers, and researchers, they are in the middle of everthing going on in chiropractic.
The book is wierdly underpriced at about $45.00, a real steal.

Buy it here now!
