Chiropractic Defined
Historical
The
first crude Chiropractic adjustment of a vertebra was given in
September, 1895 by Dr. D. D. Palmer. Neither the art, nor the
science was formed at this time. Its growth remained practically
dormant until 1903,at which time his son, B. J. Palmer, D.C., Ph. C.
had developed it into a well defined non-therapeutical philosophy,
science and art that has no resemblance whatever to any
therapeutical method. Health (equality) is restored by completing
the mental and physical circuit; restoring the currents of cycles of
mental impulses acting through the material agency; to replace the
full quota of positive with an equivalent negative; permitting the
reconveyance of the intelligent immaterial into the mechanical
corporeal; to reconstruct normal psycho-physical unit; to make as
one the triunity of creation, transmission and expression; to
re-establish equilibrium between the abstract and concrete, all of
which is induced by replacing specific disordered concrete
mechanical anatomy which permits adjustment between that one law of
two principles- cause and effect-the rules and manner of declaration
of which are unique and unlike any theories of stimulative or
inhibitive movement or applications used by any other school.
Defined
Chiropractic
is a name given to the study and application of a universal
philosophy of biology, theology, theosophy, health , disease, death,
the science of the cause of disease and art of permitting the
restoration of the triune relationships between all attributes
necessary to normal composite forms, to harmonious quantities and
qualities by placing in juxtaposition and abnormal concrete
positions of definite mechanical portions with each hand, by hand,
thus correcting all subluxations of the three hundred articulations
of the human skeletal frame, more especially those of the spinal
column, for the purpose of permitting the re-creation of all normal
cyclic currents, through nerves that were formerly not permitted to
be transmitted, through impingement, but have now assumed their
normal size and capacity for conduction as they emanate through
intervertebral foramina- the expressions of which were formerly
excessive or partially lacking- named disease.
