REVIEWS:

Since its inception in 1895, Chiropractic has helped millions of people with numerous health problems. Research of the upper cervical subluxation began in the early days of chiropractic at the B.J. Palmer clinic, although a tremendous amount has been done over the last twenty years in the medical and chiropractic fields. I commend Dr. Kirk Eriksen for investigating, congregating, and compiling this superb text of research pertinent to the subluxation of the upper cervical spine. After reading this text, you will admire Dr. Eriksen for his persistent and untiring devotion to the art, philosophy and science of chiropractic.
Ken Humber, Jr., D.C.
Vice President, Society of Chiropractic Orthospinology

Orthogonal based upper cervical techniques are the direct descendants of the original tenets of Chiropractic. Dr. Eriksen’s timely and thorough presentation of upper cervical research is without peer or comparative. This is an incredible effort that will substantiate our position in the Chiropractic profession.
Robert Goodman, D.C.
Past President, National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association

Your book, Upper Cervical Subluxation Complex is an excellent asset to our great chiropractic profession. Every chiropractor should read this book.
Roy W. Sweat, D.C., B.C.A.O.
President, Atlas Orthogonality

This is the most comprehensive review of the Upper Cervical Subluxation Complex I’ve seen. It is a must have for Chiropractors, Chiropractic students and researchers. Thank you Dr. Eriksen for the tremendous amount of time and effort you’ve put into compiling this much-needed book.
Karen Feeley, D.C.
Past President, Academy of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Organizations

This book is the first of its kind. It sets a new benchmark for the science of upper cervical subluxation complex. Upper Cervical Subluxation Complex should be a standard textbook in chiropractic colleges as well as other institutions with the responsibility of education on the upper cervical subluxation. I highly recommend this work to anyone serious about understanding the upper cervical subluxation. What has taken Dr. Eriksen years to research, compile and organize can be easily accessed in these pages.
