The 33 Principles Series

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 #9

The Amount of Force Created by Intelligence

The amount of force created by Intelligence is always 100%.

In Other Words…

At its moment of generation, a force created by your body’s Innate Intelligence is at 100% of its potential power. The force is diminished in intensity only if encountering a stress within your body.

For Instance…

A tennis ball! Upon impact, the ball is at 100% of its potential-to-kinetic energy power. If the ball hits the top of the net, the ball transfers some of its force to the net, now sacrificing what its full speed would have otherwise been.

As Applied To You…

A message generated by your body’s Intelligence directing your heart to beat is at 100%. If the message meets interference such as a spinal subluxation- as it travels through your nerves to your heart, it loses its full force. Your heart will not properly beat!
