Albert Abrams - Spondylotherapy; physio and pharmacotherapy and diagonostic

Albert Abrams developed a medical technique called Spondylotherapy, which was inspired by chiropractic and osteopathic ideas. Basic principle is the stimulation of nerves originating from the spinal cord, which can trigger reflex actions on viscera or inner organs. The stimulation is performed by controlled concussion with a plexor / pleximeter combination directly on the spinous processes, by sinusoidal electric currents or by application of ice. Albert Abrams published the book Spondylotherapy in several editions between 1910 and 1918. A simplified version of Spondylotherapy was first published by Alva Emeey Gregory, M.D. in 1914
