He is notably the author of "Good Bye Back Pain!" and "Chiropractic Odyssey: A Journey of Practice, Seminars, Observation and Reading Science." His textbook, "Motion Palpation and Chiropractic Technic," published in 1989/1990, profoundly influenced the curriculum in chiropractic colleges worldwide.
