About Chiropractic
A philosophy, science,
and art! Chiropractic deals with the relationship between the
bones of the vertebral column and the nerve system. It is based upon the premise
that the body is a self-healing, self-regulating organism. The
objective is the detection and correction(reduction) of vertebral
subluxation to allow the Innate
Intelligence of the body to express itself more fully. . . or
simply, to enable your body to work at its highest
potential!
D.D Palmer, Founder of Chiropractic - 1895:
"Chiropractic is a philosophy, science and art of things
natural: a system of adjusting the segments of the spinal
column by hand only, for the correction of the cause of
dis-ease."
Dorland's dictionary - 1927 "A
system of adjustment consisting of palpation of the spinal column
to ascertain vertebral subluxations followed by the
adjustment of them by hand, in order to relieve pressure upon nerves at
the intervertebral foramina, so that the nerve force may flow freely
from the brain to the rest of the body."
Federation of Straight Chiropractic
Organizations - 1976 "Straight
chiropractic is a natural philosophy based upon recognition of
the inherent ability of living organisms to repair and heal themselves
under perfect direction of the Innate Intelligence of Life in accordance
with Universal Law, and the art and science of properly locating,
analyzing and adjusting vertebral subluxation for the restoration and
maintenance of neural integrity, in accordance with the
philosophy."
Our objective - the correction of vertebral
subluxations - is what we do. Our philosophy explains
why we do what we do. The science is the accumulated
facts supporting what we do. The art is how we do it.
Each of these aspects of chiropractic is important.
Chiropractic is about life, its about being a better
expression of life. Our lives and bodies work and
function better on all levels without vertebral subluxations!
