The Chiropractic Art

"The nervous systme holds the key to the body's incredible potential to heal itself"
Sir Jay Holder


Chiropractic is built upon the principle that life is intelligent. This innate intelligence endeavour to maintain harmony, adaptability and a state of optimal health. Chiropractic advocates and it is also built based on a holistic- vitalistic- natural approach to relief pain, promote health and even give years to your life.

The Philosophy...

Chiropractic is based upon the premise that the body is a self-healing and self-regulating organism. According with Chiropractic, health comes from above-down and insight-out. The nervous system made by the brain, spinal cord and nerves is the system that controls and governs the function of every organ and tissue. The nerve system controls the self-healing and self-regulation mechanisms.


"Every organ in your body is connected to the one under your hat".
BJ Palmer


The Science...

Emphasizes in basic sciences, such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, bio-mechanics, nutrition, psychology, spinal examination, diagnosis, radiology imaging and adjustment techniques. Some chiropractors also complete post graduate education in sports, pediatrics and specific adjustment techniques.


“X-rays will show misalignment that might cause subluxation that causes nerve pressure.”
Clarence S. Gonstead

The Art...

Chiropractic/ˌkʌɪrə(ʊ)ˈpraktɪk/ (Greek), means "done by hands". A Chiropractor uses their hands to deliver a high-velocity, low-amplitude adjustment of a segment of the spine and pelvis. There are five core spine techniques used primarily to adjust the spine. Those five techniques are: Diversified, Gonstead, Thompson, Toggle and Activator (uses and instrument).

"it is amazing what an adjustment can do, if applied right".
Clarence S. Gonstead


The conclussion...
Lastly, since DD Palmer discover chiropractic in September 1895 after he "adjusted" the spine of a deaf janitor and claimed to restore his hearing, chiropractic has proven to be a safe and effective vitalistic- holisitic- natural approach. Nowadays, more people turns into this distinctive health profession seeking for pain releif and to correct spinal illneses. However, chiropractic strives also to maintain the principles such as the body heals with the right help and it is a self-healing and self-regulating organism.
