Chiropractic Spinography
A starting point
E. A. Thompson presents the equipment and methods of early chiropractic spinography. The volume offers historical context for the place of X-ray technology in chiropractic education and spinal analysis.
Thompson covers the interpretation of spinal images across the cervical, dorsal, and lumbar regions, including curvature and the atlas and axis. The text also addresses the equipment behind those images, with discussion of electrical principles, measurement, and the operation of X-ray apparatus.
Read this volume to understand how image-making and image interpretation developed together in chiropractic education. The questions concern both what a picture shows and how it was produced. Comparing it with Remier’s later spinography text brings changes in equipment, analytical emphasis, and technical assumptions into focus.
