The philosophy of Chiropractic was initially laid down by D.D. Palmer, the discoverer of Chiropractic in 1895. B.J. Palmer, the developer of Chiropractic, restated this in the early 1930's. Chiropractic was first explained very simplistically as a philosophy, science and an art of things natural. Chiropractic is a system of adjusting the segments of the spinal column for the correction of the cause of "dis-ease" (lack of ease). It was not "disease" as in the medical model. Chiropractic has grown in stature since the early years. Research papers are available from Activator Methods, Inc. proving the subluxation complex does in fact cause disease and is the greatest and singular cause of dis-ease.

Under the Chiropractic model it is recognized that there is a universal intelligence that is a 100% giving energy force to environmental objects including the human being. Chiropractic recognizes that there is an innate intelligence and it is inside everyone it is constantly adapting to universal forces to maintain us in equilibrium and to provide us with our humanism. These innate forces are understood in theory by many people and have been written about for many years. However, science has not been able to define their actual method of working. Some feel it is an electrical chemical field, others feel it is a force field of electromagnetic nature. Who ever is right is still debatable. The thing that we know for sure is that the innate force does exist and is constantly contributing to our ability to maintain life as we know it.
