Every month we are featuring one of the 33 Principles of Chiropractic that were published by Ralph W. Stephenson D.C. in 1927 in a book called “The Chiropractic Textbook”. Even today these principles are central to chiropractic. Whilst some of the language is a bit old the principles remain solid. Consider the principle of this month and discuss it with us when you visit the practice.
Here’s to a greater understanding of life and health.
Chiropractic Principle #10
The Function of Force.
The function of force is to unite Intelligence with matter.
In Other Words…
Your body’s Intelligence provides and maintains your life; but, how? What Is the bridge between the physical matter of your body, and the Intelligence Directing your body’s functions? Force! Force Propels your nervous system’s messages,through which your body’s Intelligence is expressed.
For Instance…
A bowling ball is full of Intelligence, ready to roll it down the aisle. How Exactly does this Intelligence become “activated”? By your putting a force into the ball. Your force unites the ball’s Intelligence, with the physical matter of the ball, catalyzing the transfer of potential energy, into kinetic energy.
As Applied To You…
A chiropractic adjustment entails a highly specific force being placed within your body. This force unites your body’s Intelligence, with the physical matter of your body; it’s a vehicle through which Intelligence can now direct the correction of your subluxation.
