The typical traditional chiropractor utilizes various techniques and technology to achieve the desired effect in their patient base.

This issue, as you saw from the cover, takes a deep dive into "Machine Assisted Adjusting of the Thoracic & Cervical Spine," beginning on page 14. If you are looking to incorporate a technique that uses a manual adjusting instrument, this is the right starting place. Dr. Koch takes you through the mechanics, neurological effects, and soft tissue implications in a summary of his technique.

You may have also noticed that chiropractors are consistently incorporating the use of highly sophisticated decompression tables as a necessary option in place of chiropractic adjustments. Here's another tool in the box; flip to page 26 now to see what Dr. Kaplan has to say about using this technology in your clinic.

That's not all! This month we caught up with FCLB founder and CEO of SoVita Chiropractic Health Centers, Karl Boghosian, for his comments on the role of Chiropractic Assistants during the time of COVID, continuing education programs, and what the vision is for the FCLB in the years ahead.

That's not all! Flip directly to the middle to pull out The Chiropractic Assistant! This magazine shares some of the fundamentals for your most valuable clinic partners, on topics such as scar recovery, how treatment plans can be presented to reduce pressure to sign up, as well as the importance of stress.

All this and more in this issue of The American Chiropractor Magazine.

Thanks for all you do! Look us up online at: digital.theamericanchiropractor.com, and keep up the excellent work!
