The Principles of Chiropractic

  1. The Major Premise: There is a Universal Intelligence in all matter, constantly giving to all its properties and actions, thus maintaining it in existence.
    • This principle posits a universal intelligence or life force that governs all living things.
  2. The Chiropractic Meaning of Life: The expression of this intelligence through matter is the Chiropractic meaning of life.
    • Life is the expression of this universal intelligence through living organisms.
  3. The Union of Intelligence and Matter: Life is necessity the union of intelligence and matter
    • Life combines the intelligence of the universe with physical matter.
  4. The Triune of Life: Life is a trinity, having three necessary factors, namely, Intelligence, Force and matter.
    • Life consists of three essential components: intelligence, force (energy), and matter (physical substance).
  5. The Perfection of the Triune: In order to have 100% Life, there must be 100% Intelligence, 100% Force, 100% Matter.
    • To achieve optimal health, there must be the expression of intelligence, force, and matter in the body.
  6. 6 The Principle of Time: There is no process that does not require time.
    • Healing and adaptation take time, there are no instant solutions.
  7. The Amount of Intelligence in Matter: The amount of intelligence necessary for its functions and needs.
  8. The Function of Intelligence: The function of intelligence necessary for its functions and needs.
  9. The Amount of Force Created By Intelligence: The amount of force created by intelligence is always 100%
    • The intelligence within living organisms always generates the full amount of force needed for life.
  10. The Function of Force: The function of force is to unite intelligence and matter.
    • Force brings together intelligence and matter to create life and enable its expression.
  11. The Character of Universal Forces: The forces of Universal Intelligence are manifested by physical lays; are unswerving and unadapted, and have no solicitude for the structures in which they work.
    • Universal forces follow consistent physical laws and operate without bias of concern for individual structures.
  12. Interference with Transmission of Universal Forces: there can be interference with transmission of universal forces.
    • Interference with transmission of universal forces, often caused by vertebral subluxations, can disrupt the body’s functions.
  13. The Function of Matter: The function of matter is to express force.
    • Matter serves as the medium through which force is expressed in the body.
  14. Universal Life: Force is manifested by motion in matter; all matter has motion, therefore there is universal life in all matter.
    • Life is manifested through motion, and since all matter exhibits motion, universal life exists in everything.
  15. No Motion Without the Effort of Force: Matter can have no motion without the application of force by intelligence.
    • Motion in matter requires the application of force by intelligence.
  16. Intelligence in Both Organic and Inorganic Matter: Intelligence is in both organic and inorganic matter.
    • Intelligence is present in both living and non-living matter.
  17. The Cause of Dis-ease: The cause of dis-ease is any interference with the transmission of universal forces.
    • Disruption of the transmission of universal forces, often due to vertebral subluxation, is the cause of disease.
  18. The Function of the Chiropractor: The function of the chiropractor is to locate, analyze and correct vertebral subluxations.
    • Chiropractors identify and correct vertebral subluxation to remove interference with the transmission of universal forces and promote health.
  19. The Principle of Normality: The principle of normality is that every living this has certain inherent properties or qualities called normality.
    • Normality refers to the natural state f health and function inherent in all living organisms.
  20. The law of Demand and Supply: the law of demand and supply governs the normal functioning of all body tissues.
    • Tissues function optimally when there is a balance between the demand for, and supply of, vital elements.
  21. The Law of Demand and Supply Governs the Body: The law of demand and supply governs the body in its ideal performance of all functions.
    • The body functions optimally when there is a balance between the demand for, and supply of, vital elements.
  22. The Limits of Adaptation: The limits of adaptation are exceeded by limits of matter.
    • The body can only adapt to a certain extent before its limits are exceeded and disease or dysfunction occurs.
  23. The Law of Compensation: The body is always trying to maintain a normal state.
    • The body continually strives to maintain balance and health despite internal and external challenges.
  24. The Law of Transformation of Forces: The forces of Universal Intelligence are manifested as physical laws; they are unswerving and unadapted, but can be adapted through Universal Intelligence.
    • Universal forces, while unswerving and unadapted, can be adapted to specific circumstance by the intelligence inherent in living organisms.
  25. The Law of Harmony: The forces of Universal Intelligence are always in harmony with the forces of Universal Energy.
    • The intelligence that governs the universe ensures harmony between the forces at work.
  26. The Law of Cycles: The forces of Universal Intelligence are manifested in cycles.
    • Natural processed and phenomena occur in cyclical patterns.
  27. The Law of Unity: The forces of Universal Intelligence operate through all matter, constantly giving to it all its properties and actions, thus maintaining it in existence.
    • Universal intelligence permeates all matter, giving it its properties and sustaining its existence.
  28. The Law of Succession: The forces of Universal Intelligence are transmitted through force and matter, and are constantly being applied in succeeding units of matter, in tier order of rank and value.
    • Universal forces are transmitted through force and matter and are applied in a hierarchical order.
  29. The Law of Coordination: The forces of Universal intelligence coordinate the units of matte and living organisms.
    • Universal intelligence coordinates the functions of all living organisms and their components.
  30. The Law of Similarity: The forces of Universal Intelligence are transmitted form one unit of matter or living organism to another by the law of similarity.
    • Universal forces are transmitted between units of matter or living organisms that share simliarities.
  31. The Law of the Nervous System: The function of the nervous system is to control and coordinate the actions of the body.
    • The nervous system regulates and coordinates all bodily functions.
  32. The Law of Gravity: The law of gravity is the force of attraction between two bodies.
    • Gravity is a fundamental force that governs the attraction between objects with mass.
  33. The Law of Adaptation: The forces of Universal Intelligence adapt Universal Forces and matter of use in the body as long as it can do so without breaking a universal law, or Innate Intelligence is limited by the limitations of Matter.
