Work with Chiro...charts, etc. Help

[ianvreugdenhil]

Starting work with a chiropractor in a couple of weeks. He is interested in having me do some specific work on Pt's. I would like to know if anyone has any info on trigger point charts, pt. protocol for Tx, etc. that will help me out. I am just starting out, so I have already told them that I will need to reference other material when providing Tx. Can anyone direct me to some good charts, reference, or other info?

I really like the Travell Trigger Point Posters. They are nicely color coded, and easy to reference. Check out http://www.massagewarehouse.com for those and a couple others. Of course, the Travell Trigger Point Manuals are the groundbreakers in that category, but I have also seen some nice stuff by Leon Chiatow (sorry, can't remember the name of the book)

Travell also has a flip book. If you don't have the wall space, it can be helpful too. http://www.lww.com/product/?0-683-18008-8

I made up my own "travel cards" that I now continue to use for my business. They make it easy for SOAP and general information on each client. If you want details, let me know.

When my computer crashed I lost all my good info, but there is a guy out there, and I think he may even be the one that wrote the "Trail Guide to the Body"... but this guy has a website and does have some videos I think that may be really helpful.

Anyone have a clue as to who I mean?

I thought his name was Keith, but then again, I just really can't remember. I see the website in my mind.... a lot of white and brown on the page. (?)

You are thinking of Andrew Biel. The website is http://www.booksofdiscovery.com
I just read a review of the Trail Guide videos, and they sound fantastic. The book is great, but, personally, I prefer The Muscular Systems Manual by Joseph Muscolino. Don't know if there are any posters or charts associated with that, though.

You are right. I did just refer to Andrew Biel... now here is something funny.... part of the site, but not all of it was what I was thinking of. By any chance do you know of someone who may have used his book at one time and is one of those people who does seminars. Maybe ortho or neuromusucular work. Not Dalton or the standard guys. Dang, I wish I had my old hard drive!

Thanks for the link... adding it to "Resources"!

Found this.. still not what I was thinking of... but maybe you can talk your chiro into purchasing it for you. I think it may be a "write-off" for the office as an "educational" expense. It looks like it could give you some foundational work.

I amaze myself. I always think my mind just can't pull up those lost facts and then - poof - I get a brain-fart and there it is!

Found it! (Trigger point charts that may help)
