As long as we maintain our objective (correcting vertebral subluxation to enable the innate intelligence of the body to be more fully expressed), nothing more and nothing less, we will never lose our philosophy. When we ignore or change our objective such as remove the “vertebral” from it, we drift in our philosophy. Does your philosophy and what you are doing in your office, meet the objective?
That’s a good point. Even the MDs use the term “subluxation”. For example, radiologists like to say there is no “subluxation” present on radiology reports (like they really know that). And that’s when they are referring to views of the spine. Then, they use that term when referring to extremities too. Eliminating “vertebral” from our description only places us into their arena even more and does not specify exactly what we do. We need to be 100% clear. But then there are chiropractors who use the term “subluxation” for the shoulder, the elbow, or the knee – only further confusing people as to our true objective. It starts with each of us —– we need to be very clear.
that’s the way I like it!
