===Spondylotherapy===
Abrams developed a medical technique called spondylotherapy, which was inspired by [[chiropractic]] and [[osteopathy|osteopathic]] ideas. The 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 process]]es, by sinusoidal electric currents or by application of ice. Abrams published the book ''Spondylotherapy'' in several editions between 1910 and 1918.<ref>{{cite book |title=Spondylotherapy |author=Albert Abrams |year=1910 |publisher=Philopolis Press |url=https://openlibrary.org/works/OL7722659W/Spondylotherapy_Physio_and_Pharmaco-therapy_and_Diagnostic_Methods_Based_on_.. }}</ref> A simplified version of spondylotherapy was first published by Alva Emeey Gregory, M.D. in 1914.<ref>{{cite book |title=Spondylotherapy simplified  |author= Alva Emeey Gregory, M.D. |year=1922 |publisher= Alva Emeey Gregory, M.D. |url= https://openlibrary.org/works/OL7759351W/Spondylotherapy_simplified }}</ref>
