What is Chiropractic?

Many times, as a dear friend of mine recently pointed out, we chiropractors are inclined to describe chiropractic by highlighting what it’s not rather than what it is.  He went on to add that as a result, little is done to emphasis what makes chiropractic so special because we’re so zealously involved in relating what we see as the “horrors of those remedies” that are not chiropractic, “rather than actually explaining what a chiropractor really does.”

Having been in this profession as long as I have, I sincerely appreciate his point; it used to be a challenge trying to explain what chiropractic is because there’s a perception that all doctors are trying to achieve the same things for the people who come to see them and by default, all methods used to lead them to this end are congruent.  A definition can mean everything and when it comes to restoring your health or the health of your family, a clear understanding is vital when the stakes are high and in many cases the ultimate price can be paid for being naive.

With that being said, what then is Chiropractic? Chiropractic is the lifestyle consecrated to nurturing the divine intelligence that heals, regulates, and expresses life in the body, love in humanity and light in the world.  Focusing particular attention on and uniquely qualified to detect and adjust subluxation, chiropractic is not about disease management for disease is simply the message, not the messenger; it’s drug-free, non-invasive and respectful of the body’s inborn ability to heal itself when given 100% of the nourishment needed to support life.

In a sentence, Chiropractic is about maximizing the full expression of life, love and the divine spirit in humanity through the restoration and support of a Clear Neurological Connection.
