Previously,
I noted the theories of ligament remolding and muscle strengthening are
dead. Buying the Advanced BioStructural Correction (ABC)
"At-Home Seminar" will gain you many practice advantages. ABC
predictably and consistently gets the results promised.
You get fast pain relief and amazingly fast changes in posture and
consistent and predictable spinal curve corrections -- taking X-rays or
not.
ABC notes spinal column mechanics become pathological in three
dimensions. The spinal column twists and bends to compensate for the
pathologies in three dimensions.
ABC predicts an unwinding of scolioses as they correct, not a
straightening. This is why you cannot force a spinal segment into the
proper place and why all mirror image adjusting, exercises etc. do not
consistently and predictably result in corrections. It is also why other
methods speak in percentages of correction at best. They look at these
things two dimensionally and their treatment is based on those
observations while simulating three dimensional knowledge.
ABC notes consistent and predictable corrections will be had
for all structural pathologies not related to cancer, fractures,
infections and the like.
Example
Here you can study (see figs.) an example of layered curves, the reason
most methods do not consistently undo scolioses. A most basic explanation
follows the case data.

The 31-year-old female is a patient of Dr. George Kukurin. Radiographs
demonstrate progressive reduction of adult scoliosis with Advanced
BioStructural Correction.
This is a typical patient. What is special is that Dr. Kukurin has
never been to a live seminar teaching ABC, has never met me
in person, nor been taught live. You, too, can learn to do this from just
the At-Home seminar.
Report
Dr. George Kukurin: "A patient in my office since 1997, she
had chronic back and neck pain.
"The left film (fig. 1) is from Oct of 1999, after several
years of diversified/CBP/Pettibon with no change, just before I switched
her to Advanced BioStructural Correction which I had just learned.
"Note her scoliosis measures 35-degrees by Cobb's method. The
scoliotic apex is at L2 and the distance from the spinous-laminar line to
the lateral aspect of the vertebral body is 1.75 on the left and 4.5 on
the right suggesting vertebral body rotation at L2.
"Re-X-rayed/examed on 12/22/99 after a short course of ABC. Note (fig.
2) the spine has transformed into a lateral translation to the
opposite side with only a small 6-degree scoliosis. This is a 29-degree
reduction in scoliosis and reversal of curve direction from L4 up into the
thoracics. Rotation of L2 did not change (1.75-4.5) so this is not a
positioning issue. No room here to show/discuss changes in the laterals
but this shows an untwisting or unwinding in three dimensions as predicted
for this patient.
"Re-X-rayed/examed seven weeks further on 02/05/01 (fig.3). The
spine is now coming around again (imagine it untwisting backward and
sideways together) and unwinding further as ABC predicted. The L2 rotation
remained virtually unchanged (2-4mm) again positioning is no factor.
"It is tempting to interpret the spinous-laminar line/vertebral
body measurements as indicating the patient has a structural scoliosis
with asymmetrical pedicles meaning no change possible -- the right pedicle
supposedly being substantially longer than the left. This is an excuse
used by many methods when bodies do not change. With ABC, even these
change.
"ABC is chiropractic as it was meant to be. Thanks to Dr.
Jutkowitz for discovering the few things that were missing until now and
putting things in an easy to learn and easy to implement order."
-----
On the original films of Dr. Kukurin's patient, you can just barely see
that L5 does not line-up as part of the lateral curve to the right. To
predict where it will go you would have to measure the laterals but this
is a typical sequence of unwinding of "layered curves" that no
one else addresses.
That curve to the right in the lower lumbars of the first films is
actually three curves: L5 or so going right; L4 and some of L3 going left
(more obvious on the second film as the body untwists going to the left at
that point while the lowest curve to the right is still there); and the
lowest curve to the right -- seen on the first film as a slight
misalignment within the curve to the right at the L5-L4 location -- more
vividly seen in the second films and finally itself unwinding (remember
that these are three dimensional curves although we are looking at a front
view) in the third film.
For those of you questioning whether this really is a typical result,
the answer is "yes," and many other D.C.s report the same. It
demonstrates and illustrates an unwinding or untwisting curve in its
typical appearance. The fact that the curve to the right is layered
is missed by many. Trying to straighten this as one curve does not work
and causes many chiropractors and their patients great anxiety because
what they are doing does not work to untwist all the curves -- therefore
they do not change the scoliosis.
