Five Principles of Chiropractic

Principle One

The body is created with innate capacity to maintain order, within the limits of matter.

 

The body has levels of organization that build on each other. Cells work together in tissues, tissues work together in organs, and organs work together in organ systems, organ systems work together in organisms. 

 

This order is evident in every life process: movement, reproduction, sensitivity to environment, growth, respiration, excretion, and nutrition. We have order in how we are organized. We also have the tendency to find our way back to order.

 

Principle Two

The main tool used to maintain order in brain and body cells is the neuro-spinal system.

 

The neuro-spinal system consists of the brain, the spine and the vertebral bones protecting the spine. 

 

Together, it regulates involuntary physiologic processes including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, and digestion. This system works automatically without a person's conscious effort.

 

Principle Three

Neuro-Spinal Interference (NSI) from Vertebral Malposition (VM) reduces order in the brain and body.

 

Protective vertebral bones can become malpositioned and block signals traveling through the spinal cord. We use the disconnected “Safety Pin Cycle” to illustrate this bone out of place interfering with critical neural communication.

​

Principle Four

Vertebral Malposition occurs commonly due to modern stressors.

 

 

Modern stress comes in the form of the “Three T’s”: thoughts, trauma’s and toxins. All three weaken brain coordination of the muscles that hold the spine in position. This daily onslaught makes Vertebral Malposition very common in today’s spines, whether young or old.

 

Principle Five

Chiropractor’s find and clear Vertebral Malpositions for brighter neuro-spinal connection for brighter expression of life.

 

Chiropractors do not diagnose or treat pain or symptoms. We detect and clear Vertebral Malpositions that cause Neuro-Spinal Interference. The impact of a single neuro-spinal connection brightened is as far reaching as the neuro-spinal system itself.
