He planned to dissect human and animal cadavers to see if there was a relationship between any diseased internal organ discovered on autopsy and the vertebrae associated with the nerves that went to the organ. As he wrote: "The object of these necropsies (dissections) was to determine whether any connection existed between minor curvatures of the spine, on the one hand, and diseased organs on the other; or whether the two were entirely independent of each other." University Permission The University of Pennsylvania gave Dr. Winsor permission to carry out his experiments. In a series of three studies he dissected a total of 75 human and 22 cat cadavers. The following are Dr. Winsor's results: "Two hundred twenty-one structures other than the spine were found diseased. Of these, 212 were observed to belong to the same sympathetic (nerve) segments as the vertebrae in curvature. Nine diseased organs belonged to different sympathetic segments from the vertebrae out of line. These figures cannot be expected to exactly coincide ... for an organ may receive sympathetic filaments from several spinal segments and several organs may be supplied with sympathetic (nerve) filaments from the same spinal segments. In other words, there was nearly a 100 percent correlation between minor curvatures of the spine and diseases of the internal organs." Diseases examined:
Dr. Winsor's results are published in The Medical Times, November 1921, and are found in any medical library. Winsor Study----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upper Back Strengthening Exercise – the "YWTL" or "YMTL" Strengthening of the upper back is very important. The "YWTL" is a very good stretch and strengthening exercise for the stabilizing muscles of the upper back and shoulders. It can be performed either standing or laying down, but keep in mind, the floor position is more challenging. This approach can be utilized as an advancement on the standing exercise to allow the continuation of challenging your muscles as you gain in strength. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chiropractic PhilosophyThe chiropractic perspective on health and disease emphasizes two fundamental concepts: 1) The structure and condition of the body influences how the body functions and its ability to heal itself 2) The mind-body relationship is instrumental in maintaining health and in the healing processes.
