Pinched Nerve Theory
• Why is the Chiro profession and students so scared to use the words pinched nerve??????????
• The Medical Profession accepts the pinched nerve theory. • I accept the pinched nerve theory and base my practice on it.• For those not willing to accept this -prove to me otherwise .• When the spinal nerve travels though the foramen, that area is
packed. It is not a void or hollow space.• It is easy to demonstrate a pinched nerve with an MRI. • This is done by comparing the size of the spinal nerve root in the
foramen from left to right side with MRI measurements.

Pinched nerve• The average size of a lumbar spinal nerve root in
height and width is 7 x 5 mm• The only way to change the height and width of
a nerve is by compression.• When the height or width of a nerve changes-• That is a PINCHED NERVE.• When a nerve is pinched it can become inflamed
and swollen.• The corresponding muscle becomes weak.• Proper adjustive procedure correct this problem

JCCA Journal
• The first part of my research I had to make a marked improvement to a weak leg muscle with one chiro adjustment.
• Second part with MRIs find the reason for the neurological deficit.
• My first research paper was published in the JCCA Aug. 2011, I believe that it is the most important paper in chiro history.
• Why---- a third party can measure the results of an adjustment with objective muscle testing before and after an adjustment.

Techniques• We have three hundred different techniques
but there is not any pre and post objective testing to verify the results of an adjustment.
• The scientific future of the Chiropractic profession is with objective muscle testing.
• Subjective testing and evidence base is not a objective scientific practice in your office.

My New Theory
• How can cervical adjustments have such a huge influence on the cranial nerves.
• A subluxation of the axis or atlas causes a torque or rotation of the medulla and pons.
• This torque causes compression of the nuclei found in the medulla and pons.
• This causes the nuclei to fire.• I now have scientists making a three-D model of the
spinal cord and medulla from MRIs

MIGRAINE HEADACHE
• This girl had headaches daily for fourteen yrs• Plus four to six migraine headaches per month• A six degree improvement in the torque of
the medulla has eliminated all her headaches.• This is demonstrated with MRI measurements.

15 Years Legally Blind• Case history– Legally blind after an MVA for
fifteen years. Examined for fifteen years by Ophthalmologists.
• Field of vision was five to ten degrees. Eye sight 20 / 400. Color vision was only yellow and red.
• With the MRI the medulla had a 24 degree torque.
• Objective cervical flexion muscle test was zero-- no strength- this indicates a neurological deficit of C1 and spinal accessory nerves number eleven.

Fifteen Years Blind• Immediately after the adjustment there was a
marked improvement to the weak cervical flexion muscle test.
• I had my optometrist examine her eyes immediately after the first adjustment.
• Eyes were normal but vision was 20 / 300• Three hours after the cervical adjustment her
color vision and field of vision started to improve.

Fifteen Years
• A month later after four cervical adjustments her cervical flexion muscle test was normal.
• I had my optometrist examine her again.• He could only say “I do not believe it”.• Her color vision returned to normal (With a
Color Chart)and her field of vision was full and with glasses her vision was 20 /25.
• Chiropractors can do miracles!!!

Conclusion• 1) It is possible to find a pinched spinal nerve
in a normal foramen with MRI measurements.• 2) A torque in the medulla can have a huge
impacted on the majority of the cranial nerves. The following problems can occur: Vision; Migraine; Trigeminal Neuralgia; Bells Palsy; Vertigo, est.(B.J. Palmer would love this)
