"The Machines and Tools of Dr. Clarence S. Gonstead." Chiropractic History Journal. Volume 27 Number 2. pp. 55-58. Winter 2007. Matthew Amman
Abstract:
While important research on the history of chiropractic machines has been published, relatively little attention has been paid to its heterogeneous acceptance. Technology's role in chiropractic split according to the philosophical assertions of straights and mixers; however, a review of the instruments used by one of the most prominent men in the field, Dr. Clarence S. Gonstead (1898-1978) illustrates that state law played a role. His embrace of machines reflects the profession's emerging cultural identity toward techno-scientific within legislative constraints and the pursuit of clinical competency.
