Knee Chest Specific Chiropractic
Technique
Knee Chest Specific Chiropractic technique was developed from the foundational principles and practices 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 technologies 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.
Knee Chest Adjusting
Consistent Results With Complex Cases
Chiropractic adjusting techniques have undergone extensive development since 1895, with the primary goal being to achieve the perfect balance between depth and speed.
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 technique 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.
Spinal Thermography
Upper Cervical Thermal Imaging
Spinal thermography is the industry standard in detecting the neurological components of an upper cervical subluxation. Utilizing infrared technology to measure paraspinal heat patterns, chiropractors know when an upper cervical subluxation is present and an adjustment is clinically necessary.
Perhaps one of the most common challenges for chiropractors new to spinal thermography is that of scan interpretation. KCSC has systematized pattern analysis, allowing for a more dynamic understanding of what's going on with the patient's upper cervical spine based on scan presentation.
KCSC has developed five categories of scan types, each one giving specific insight into the patient's neurological health. Using our system, chiropractors can better understand what's going on between a pattern scan and a clear scan, and most importantly communicate that effectively to patients so that they understand and value your care more.
Biomechanical Listing Analysis
CBCT & Digital X-ray
Traditional x-ray analysis for upper cervical subluxation listings uses a static method where the patient assumes a neutral posture. This captures the joints in the neutral position, where measurements are made to determine a left or right laterality. While this approach works for the majority of cases, it becomes limiting when dealing with osseous malformations of the occipital condyles, atlas lateral masses, or axis superior articulations.
To overcome these limitations, KCSC has developed a new cervical x-ray view. The KCSC Peritrope view images the cervical spine in maximum rotation, allowing for a deeper insight into upper cervical biomechanics never before described. Our biomechanical listing analysis reveals the locking effect that a subluxation causes upon the affected joint.
The KCSC Peritrope view determines with accuracy whether atlas or axis is the major subluxation when both vertebrae appear to be misaligned. Using the biomechanical analysis, chiropractors are then able to ascribe with confidence the specific subluxation listing.
KCSC Technique Certification
CBCT & Digital X-ray
KCSC Technique Certification is earned, not given. Over the course of an intensive one-year training program through Knee Chest Specific Chiropractic Certification Seminars, doctors undergo rigorous instruction in the philosophy, science, and art of the Knee Chest Specific Chiropractic technique. Candidates participate in hands-on seminars, detailed case analysis, advanced x-ray and CBCT interpretation, spinal thermography training, and precise adjusting protocols designed to develop consistency, specificity, and mastery. This process demands discipline, dedication, and a commitment to clinical excellence far beyond standard continuing education.
In addition to the practical training requirements, each candidate must demonstrate a thorough understanding of the Knee Chest Specific Chiropractic approach by successfully passing a comprehensive written examination. This examination evaluates the doctor’s knowledge of upper cervical biomechanics, analysis procedures, x-ray interpretation, spinal thermography, patient management, and the clinical application of the KCSC protocol. Certification candidates are expected to possess not only technical skill, but also a deep intellectual understanding of the principles that guide the technique.
The final stage of certification requires the candidate to successfully deliver a KCSC adjustment and verify the effectiveness of the correction using spinal thermography. This performance-based requirement sets Knee Chest Specific Chiropractic Certification Seminars apart as the only Knee Chest technique organization requiring objective physiological verification of an adjustment for certification. By demanding measurable results rather than attendance alone, KCSC certification carries a level of prestige that reflects true clinical competency, precision, and mastery of the Knee Chest Specific Chiropractic technique.
