• A method to identify and correct neurological components that underlie the subluxation complex
• Basics:▫ Learn to test as many muscle divisions as possible (Beardall identified 200+)▫ Use simple techniques to reset the muscles▫ Learn and utilize Van Rumpt’s leg reflex▫ Analyze and correct subluxations in 3 dimensions▫ Identify individual central circuit failures and why the muscle or tissues failed
Loss of neurological connection Nutritional deficiencies Field effects (acupuncture) Personal habits Emotional/mental factors
• Fine Tuning the Musculoskeletal System will reveal a truer source of the problem
What is Fine Tuning the Musculoskeletal System?
© Advanced Chiropractic Techniques
• Improved outcomes
• Treat complex cases easily
• Easier on your body
• Easier on your patient’s body
Why You Should Take These Classes
© Advanced Chiropractic Techniques
Muscle response is a function of neurology and therefore may be considered a display of the nervous system, much as a TV screen is a display of the electronics inside.
If a muscle is not working to full capacity, most often it is because of inadequate nerve supply. The techniques taught in this class will help you discover where the interference is coming from.
Why Use Muscle Testing?
© Advanced Chiropractic Techniques
Muscle testing is not a panacea.
It augments standard diagnostic approaches.

We Will Discuss 4 Proprioceptors and How to Reset Them
1. Neuromuscular Spindle Cells
2. Golgi Tendon Organs
3. Neurolymphatic Reflexes
4. Neurovascular Reflexes
© Advanced Chiropractic Techniques
Spindle cells are sensory receptors in the belly of the muscle, which detect changes in the length of the muscle. This information is sent through the central nervous system and helps the body determine the position of body parts.

Golgi Tendon Organs
Golgi tendon organs are proprioceptive sensory receptor organs located at the insertion of muscle fibers into the tendon. The primary purpose of the Golgi tendon organ is to protect the muscle from overexertion.

Neurolymphatic Reflexes
Neurolymphatic reflexes are locations on the body affecting a specific muscle or organ. Every muscle has a NL point. When there is an increase in lymph congestion in a point and it is stimulated, it can lead to a strengthening of the associated muscle.

Neurovascular Reflexes
Neurovascular reflexes are located about the head and affect the vascularityof organs and structures. By stimulating these reflexes, muscle function can be improved.

The brain needs to communicate with organs too. Poor communication results in poor function. Resetting reflexes and neuro-visceral communication will improve function more than just nutritional support.

Proprioceptors send three-dimensional information to the brain. Therefore, structures should be analyzed for three-dimensional subluxations.

I trained with some of the most amazing chiropractors of the 20th Century and have made an amalgamation of their techniques. Here’s who I’ve worked with:
Where Did ACT Come From
© Advanced Chiropractic Techniques
DeJarnette began his career in engineering, and combined engineering concepts with osteopathy and chiropractic techniques to understand the
body’s physiology. He began teaching in the 1920’s. He expanded chiropractic to include visceral techniques and craniopathy.

A student of deJarnette’s, Goodheart branched off and started teaching Applied Kinesiology in the 1960’s. He was the first official US Olympic
Team Chiropractor.

Beardall models the body as a living biological computer. The biological computer language provides insights into contributing factors for
presenting symptoms.

Visceral Manipulation—“evaluates and treats dynamics of motion and suspension in relation to organs, membranes, fascia and ligaments.”

Jean Pierre Barral, DO

Developed the first low force method of adjusting, which influenced many other techniques, including Activator, Torque Release and Koren.
Developed in the 1920’s. He also discovered a unique reflex which allows one to analyze the body for subluxations.
