Great minds discuss ideas.
Average minds discuss events.
Small minds discuss people.

Chiropractic is a big idea.  Since its inception in 1895, Chiropractic has proudly called itself a science, an art, and a philosophy. 

The science refers to the vertebral subluxation causing interference in the pathways of the nervous system.  This has been documented in medical journals for almost 100 years.

The art is the skill of locating and correcting (by way of adjustment) these subluxations. 

The philosophy is the big idea.  First, it acknowledges an intelligence within the body, which oversees all activities from the moment the sperm and egg united.  Second, it states that this innate intelligence uses the nervous system to express itself, and disruption in the nervous system interferes with the full expression of the innate intelligence of the body. 

You see, it’s not the body that heals, because a corpse is a body, and it won’t heal if you cut it.  It’s the life force, the spark of vitality that brings about healing.  This is why I emphasize the fact that chiropractic is so much more than relief from back pain.  It’s about every cell in the body.  It’s about your heart, your kidneys, your lungs, your thyroid and every other organ, gland and tissue receiving its proper and full supply of Life.  This is the BIG idea of chiropractic; the juice, the energy, the power that animates all life using the nervous system to express itself in the human body.

Subluxations diminish your quality and expression of life.  Chiropractic adjustments correct subluxations, improving every aspect of your life and health.  That is truly a big idea.
