Chiropractic's Core Principles
- A Universal Intelligence (God) is in everything and causes it to exist, including you!
- The Intelligence in you (Spirit) creates your Life Energy in order to express itself through your body.
- Your Life Energy is in every one of your cells, and uses your nerve system (brain, spinal cord, nerves and neurotransmitters) to coordinate and control everything, and maintains your natural state of ease (i.e., health). Nerve Energy = Life Energy, the only thing to leave a human being upon death is the electrical energy over the nerve system.
- Without clear neurological connections, you cannot correctly comprehend and respond to your internal and external environments. The result is a progressive loss of your natural state of ease (health). This is called the dis-ease process.
- Misalignments, lack of motion, or dysfunctions of your spinal column called subluxations impact your nerve system and cause interference in the free expression of your Life Energy. This causes you to steadily lose your natural state of ease (i.e., it causes the dis-ease process).
- Subluxations are caused when your internal resistance to physical, chemical, mental and emotional stresses is too low to successfully adapt to those stresses.
- Your internal resistance can be lowered by focusing on unpleasant things, making unhealthy lifestyle choices and by the subluxation process itself.
- The Chiropractic adjustment process restores your neurological connections and the free expression of your Life Energy. This, along with a positive life focus and a healthy lifestyle, progressively raises your internal resistance to stress and allows you to return to and maintain your natural state of ease (health), and continue growing toward wellness and wholeness.
