In the 33 Principles of Chiropractic, the chiropractic meaning of life is defined as the expression of intelligence through matter and all matter has intelligence. It is the union of these two that is the basis of life. The 3rd aspect of life is the force of which is product of intelligence that is expressed via matter and its’ purpose is to unite intelligence and matter. You must have all 3 in order to have what we commonly refer to as life. Interference with the any of these leads to disorder and adaptive stress which can lead to disease.

This is a concept I have trouble explaining because it is similar the chicken or the egg argument. Which came first? You cannot have one without the other, and if one is affected, the others are as well. A cause-and-effect outcome leading to another cause-and-effect event. The big idea is that we are made to function at 100%, but stresses interfere with the expression of 1 or more of these building blocks and we no longer function at the level we should.

Chiropractic adjustments are performed to allow the body the ability to express each of these at its’ full potential so that normal function can resume. The longer these 3 are out of balance, the more time it will take to recover full function because nothing happens without the process of time.

Chiropractic care is about a healthy expression of life as an entire being. We must look at the entire system and remove those interferences that are the cause of the issue rather than looking at the body as one symptom at a time. That way when the process is completed, the issues are treated from the foundation up and not just the surface level symptoms that are, unfortunately, usually the only focus in the healthcare industry. It is time for that to change, and we want to help be a part of that change.
