A free gift for you
Our discipline's most amazing writer of history, Dr Gary Bovine, is gifting you the English translation of the first ever PhD thesis on Subluxation (written in Latin). Known just as 'Hieronymi' it is the work of Johannes Henricvs Hieroymi, an obscure 18th Century figure about whom little is known. Like so many other theses written by new physicians, he relied on earlier works written on luxation and subluxation, citing Heister, Pare, etc. Hieronymi gives a good outline of the signs to recognise subluxation.
Your take-home message is that subluxation has been established as a valid clinical entity in medicine for several thousand years, dating from Imhotep. Read about that here. Hieronymi was a physician who, as a requirement for his graduation, was required to write a thesis. He chose to explore 'subluxation'. It is very much to our shame that more Chiropractors today are not choosing to write their PhD thesis on this vital topic.
Dr Bovine and Prof Ebrall wrote about this in their 2022 paper on the History of the Idea of Subluxation, and you can read that paper here. I find it wonderfully exciting to now have Gary's translation and personally thank him for gifting it to our discipline. During my post-doctoral studies with Southern Cross University I sought funding of a few thousand dollars to pay for the translation of this seminal thesis for my work but my arguments for its value to us were lost on my supervisor, a medical academic. Gary has now gifted this so 'we have it'. Thank you Gazza.

Joe says 'this is an AI extraction of the themes from my article published in the AsiaPacific Chiropractic Journal. An impressive "aussie" accented AI recites my intentions accurately and gives a good summary of the article which may be downloaded here: https://www.apcj.net/site_files/4725/... '

A magnificent, free resource for you
In early 1995, in the days before the Internet became a vehicle for commerce, a few Chiropractors decided to create an Internet site where Chiropractors would work toward providing the best information and communication possible for the Chiropractic profession. What was created was this non-partisan internet site that is both 'for' Chiropractors and maintained 'by' Chiropractors.
From the start, everyone here has worked without thought of remuneration. This site is considered our gift to the profession. At first, all expenses were paid by donations from our unpaid workers. But when our site became popular and internet costs rose, we decided to add a few sponsors to defray the costs we were incurring. The sponsor’s ad fees defray our site expenses only.
You are welcome to use this marvellous resource at no cost to you.

It is a A world leader in funding and facilitating quality vertebral subluxation-focused research. and is dedicated to educating chiropractors, communities and peak bodies on the effectiveness of VS-based chiropractic care.
New 'must-read' book by Phillip Ebrall
The Chiropractic Subluxation is the discipline’s enigma with the imperative to reconcile a mechanical, material clinical intervention with a therapeutic target that may not be material or physical, and producing clinical outcomes that include neuroplasticity and neurophysiological change.
The problem with subluxation is political, not scientific nor philosophical. Subluxation holds strong and continuing clinical relevance within the practice of Chiropractic, being integral to some 80% of the discipline’s practitioners.
Available as hard copy, soft copy, or eBook, here I explain how the idea of subluxation is integral to the safe, clinically-effective practice of Chiropractic, and give you ways to explain it to inform your patients and reject ignorant critics.
