LOOKING BACK TO SEE AHEAD
The Knee Chest Specific Chiropractic technique originated from the foundational principles and methodologies established at the prestigious BJ Palmer Research Clinic.
This pioneering million-dollar facility, with its assembly of chiropractors, medical professionals, and research experts, was unparalleled in its pursuit. Its primary objective was to identify the most effective Chiropractic techniques for precisely locating and adjusting vertebral subluxations, employing cutting-edge procedures guided by scientific protocols.
Knee Chest Specific Chiropractic technique provides chiropractors with comprehensive training in these scientific methodologies, enabling them to consistently achieve reproducible results in restoring health even in the most complex cases.
SPINAL THERMOGRAPHY
In 1924, The Palmer School of Chiropractic made history by introducing the first instrument designed to measure the pressure and interference components of subluxation.
Resembling a meter utilized by electricians to identify electrical faults in a circuit, this instrument detected vertebral subluxations.
Named the Neurocalometer, it gauged paraspinal temperature differentials, providing real-time monitoring of the neurological impact of subluxations.
When a subluxation was identified, the instrument detected temperature differentials, affirming the clinical need for an adjustment. Subsequently, post-adjustment, it was employed to verify whether the subluxation was reduced or fully corrected.
Chiropractic instrumentation soon became the benchmark for evaluating subluxation neurology and has remained the gold standard in modern times.
Today, spinal thermography stands as the gold standard for assessing subluxation neurology, confirming subluxation presence and serving as an objective gauge to assess the effectiveness of adjustments.
KCSC remains dedicated to the scientific legacy of the BJ Palmer Research Clinic, utilizing spinal thermography to detect subluxations. We train chiropractors in the scientific analysis of subluxation neurology using Pattern Analysis, as pioneered and taught by BJ Palmer.
This system establishes a patient's "neurological sign" when subluxation is present, guiding KCSC chiropractors in determining the clinical necessity of adjustments.

X-RAY ANALYSIS
In 1910, the Palmer School of Chiropractic achieved a groundbreaking milestone as the first educational institution worldwide to employ X-rays in examining the human spinal column for vertebral subluxation.
Prior to this innovation, chiropractors relied solely on palpation of musculoskeletal indicators to ascertain the directional displacement of a subluxation. However, palpation often proved to be highly unreliable, with low consistency both between and within examiners.
The introduction of X-rays revolutionized chiropractic care by providing real-time visualization of displaced vertebrae, akin to how dentists utilize X-rays to identify misaligned teeth.
With this newfound ability, chiropractors could precisely target adjustments to the displaced vertebrae, resulting in enhanced patient outcomes.
The BJ Palmer Research Clinic further refined X-ray analysis by implementing a posture-constant system and capturing 12 views of the cervical spine. This systematic approach scientifically determined whether the causative subluxation was located in the Atlas or Axis vertebrae, as well as the precise direction of displacement, referred to as a listing.
Building upon this foundation, KCSC has pioneered advancements in X-ray techniques to enhance the visualization of subluxations. In addition to static views, KCSC has introduced the new "Peritrope" view, which capture images of the cervical spine in rotation.
These views replicate the alignment of the craniocervical joints during the knee chest posture, offering detailed insights into articular alignment and listings.
Leveraging the Peritrope view, KCSC has developed a new analysis method that ensures chiropractors achieve 100% accuracy in determining a subluxation listing and discerning whether the major subluxation is atlas or axis.

KNEE CHEST
ADJUSTING
Chiropractic adjusting techniques have undergone extensive development since 1895, with the primary goal being to achieve the perfect balance between depth and speed.
Excessive depth without sufficient speed often resulted in pushing the vertebra to the opposite side, while excessive speed without enough depth prevented the vertebra from crossing the threshold, causing it to recoil back to its subluxated position.
The BJ Palmer Research Clinic emerged as the world's largest Chiropractic research facility, equipped with state-of-the-art medical and Chiropractic technology utilized to scientifically confirm the structural and neurological effects of vertebral subluxation.
Through objective instrumentation, BJ Palmer rigorously tested every Chiropractic adjusting technique to determine their efficacy in correcting upper cervical subluxations.
Techniques that worsened the subluxation were discarded, while others that provided temporary relief without lasting value were also eliminated.
The knee chest adjusting technique emerged as a standout, demonstrating its ability to reduce, correct, and maintain upper cervical subluxations for significant durations. The results were compelling, with patients experiencing improved health outcomes in shorter timeframes.
KCSC proudly upholds the legacy of the original knee chest adjusting technique, developed and tested by BJ Palmer at the research clinic.
This adjustment method utilizes a toggle-recoil thrust with torque, striking the perfect balance between depth and speed to unlock the subluxated joint and initiate the patient's Innate recoil.
With fewer adjustments focused on one segment, optimal results are achieved in the shortest period of time.
KCSC Technique Certification
Knee Chest Specific Chiropractic Certification Seminars offers official knee chest technique certification for students and doctors of Chiropractic.
KCSC technique certification is the most intensive and rigorous program in the knee chest community. We don't offer participation awards or certificates of completion. Our philosophy focuses on the practical, hands-on application of this specific technique. Chiropractors will be trained in spinal thermography pattern analysis, X-ray analysis for specific subluxation listings and knee chest adjusting.
KCSC Technique Certification:
Applicants must complete three KCSC seminars. After the third seminar, applicants must pass a written examination that covers spinal thermography pattern analysis, X-ray analysis and knee chest adjusting.
Applicants will then take a practical examination on spinal thermography pattern analysis, where they must identify subluxation pattern over a series of scans. This demonstrates that the applicant has a working knowledge of pattern analysis and knows when a KCSC adjustment is clinically necessary.
Then, applicants will take a practical examination on X-ray analysis where they are required to determine whether Atlas or Axis is the major subluxation and ascribe its specific subluxation listing.
Finally, applicants will be required to demonstrate their ability to perform the KCSC adjustment on a live patient who is 'in pattern". A successful adjustment will be confirmed using a post-adjustment thermal scan to confirm subluxation reduction.
Upper Cervical Council Diplomate in Chiropractic Craniocervical Junction Procedures (DCCJP):
Students and doctors of Chiropractic who are completing their DCCJP are required to be certified in an approved Upper Cervical Chiropractic Technique prior to graduating the Diplomate program. KCSC Certification Seminars has been approved for those who intend to practice Knee Chest as their respective upper cervical technique.
KCSC Technique Certification Continuing Education:
Students and doctors of Chiropractic who are KCSC Technique Certified must maintain their technique certification by attending one KCSC seminar per year. This ensures the quality and consistency of KCSC chiropractors to the Chiropractic profession and the patients who seek this specific care.
Benefits of KCSC Technique Certification:
-
KCSC website listing for your practice.
-
Discount on future KCSC seminars.
-
Associate doctor opportunities in KCSC Training Centers.
-
