Chiropractic DefinedChiropractic is aPhilosophy, Science, and Art of things Natural; a system of adjusting the articulations of the spinal column, by hand only, for the correction of the cause of disease.The adult spinal column consists of the superior 24 freely movable bone segments, called vertebrae, together with the sacrum and coccyx. All the great nerve trunks emit thru the openings between these vertebrae, which openings are known as the interverte-bral foramina. The vital nerve force within man is carried by these nerve trunks from the brain to the various organs, muscles, and tissues of the body.For every effect you must have a cause; that is a fundamental law of physics. If a person is ill, then the condition of disease, regardless of the name applied to it, is in fact an effect for which there must be a cause.The Chiropractic premise is tha* the cause of disease is due to the subluxation of vertebrae, which produce pressure upon the nerve trunks and thus interfere with the normal transmission of vital nerve force.The Chiropractic objective is to locate the ioint in the spine where nerve pressure exists, due to a ver tebral subluxation, and, thru proper adjustment by hand, to restore the subluxated vertebra to its normal position, thus releasing the pressure on the nerves involved and thereby removing the cause of dis-ease in the body. Renewed health is the natural result.A CroKM Sntion of n Jffrve, 11 f K li Iy M nullifiedThis illustration shows the general distribution of the nervous system, ttie bones being absent, to show the spinal cord and nerve ramification.
