The Subluxation Specific—The Adjustment Specific
A starting point
Palmer develops his approach to specific subluxation analysis and adjustment. The preface places the work within an ongoing series of investigations and publications, inviting comparison with the earlier technique volumes.
The introductory discussion places the book in an ongoing sequence of investigation and instrument development, including years of work with the neurocalometer. Palmer explains that he is not repeating every earlier account and expects the reader to connect this presentation with the preceding material.
The central invitation is to examine what specificity means in his system: identifying the particular problem and explaining the particular adjustment intended to address it. Reading the earlier discussion of where to adjust beside this volume makes the development of that concern easier to follow. Keep Palmer’s research claims distinct from independent evaluation of them.
