In our last two entries, we depicted the Grostic/NUCCA adjustor’s
spinal alignment, first, from the sagittal plane, then from the
coronal plane. In these illustrations, we showed both the proper
positioning and the improper positioning using the analogy of the
mechanics of an improperly aligned hammer handle and hammerhead.
In doing so, we used a wooden model to show the adjustor’s body (the handle of the hammer). However, due to the obstruction of the viewing angle which necessarily occurs when showing the adjustor's spinal distortion on the transverse plane, we could not use the wooden model for these illustrations. Therefore, in these illustrations, we will show the plane of the adjustor’s pelvic girdle viewed cephalically (black line) with the plane of the adjustor’s pectoral girdle (red line) superimposed.
