The vertebral subluxation - is comprised of five
components.
1) Spinal kinesiopathology - the inability to comfortably
turn neck, hips, or back in every direction.
2)Neuropathophysiology - Impingement of nerves
creating numbness, tingling, pain or pins and needles.
3)Myopathology - (tight, spastic, weak, sore, and/or
overly sensitive muscular responses).
4)Histopathology - Swelling, tenderness, painful spots,
and other soft tissue changes.
5) Pathophysiology - muscles, joints, ligaments, and
organs show wear and tear and premature aging. (This
has proven true in numerous low back pain studies).
These are usually the reasons people see chiropractors.
Daniel David Palmer founded chiropractic in
Davenport, IA in 1895. Chiropractic is derived from
the Greek words Praxis and Cheir meaning practice
by hand. The first patient was Harvey Lillard, an
African American janitor. He was unable to hear for
years, until his spine was chiropracticly adjusted.
This miraculous event inspired not only the founding
of Palmer Chiropractic College, but also the
development of the profession by Daniel’s son,
Bartlett Joshua Palmer. B.J. Palmer developed
chiropractic into an art, philosophy and science.
Chiropractic was met with opposition all
through it’s founding and development. Two
generations of chiropractors were
prosecuted for practicing medicine without a
license during the first half of the century and
many went to jail. Minnesota was the first
state to license Chiropractic in 1905 and the
last was Louisiana in 1974. Since then, the
popularity of Chiropractic has continued to
grow. There are approximately 65,000
Doctors of Chiropractic in the United States,
6,000 in Canada and over 90,000
internationally.
There are many functions of innate intelligence. It adapts the body to it’s environment and maintains health (principle #23). It does everything in the body that we don’t have to think about ,such as, digestion, assimilation, excretion, healing of wounds, immune system function, and thousands of other activities. Innate intelligence operates through the nervous system (principle #28). Interference with this innate intelligence, results in lack of harmony or disease (principle #29 & #30).

Interference in the body is due to subluxation in the spinal column (principle #31). A vertebral subluxation is a misaligned vertebra causing interference with nerve messages between your brain and your body. Doctors of chiropractic specialize in locating, analyzing and correcting vertebral subluxations. Subluxations can be caused by trauma, toxins (impurities through diet, breathing, exposure to toxins, etc,.) and thoughts (that can result in stressful responses).
