Marin Chiropractor Declares Chiropractic "Progressive"

No, not the usual excuse-for-chiropractic, little chiropractors in white coats offering third-rate medical treatment of back pain. This is only a continuation, and appendage, of the Medical Establishment. This is neither "alternative," nor "natural." This is a cop-out.

Straight Chiropractic... real Chiropractic, can be considered progressive. What Dr. DD Palmer discovered in 1895 did indeed cause a great progression in health care. No longer was diagnosis relevant, nor any sort of treatment required. The chiropractor detects and analyses Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC), interference to the body regulating itself properly. Then, the chiropractor corrects VSC with an adjustment, allowing the body to regulate itself properly. Dr. Palmer understood that there is an Innate Intelligence in all living things, responsible for all aspects of life. Interference with the expression of that Innate Intelligence causes less expression of life. This is big. This is progressive.

Medicine always sought.control over bodily processes. Every new biological discovery  gets them all excited as to a new way that they can manipulate bodily processes. This is a mechanistic, "Outside-in" approach. It may sometimes ameliorate the symptoms of a disease, or keep a disease stable, but it never fosters health. This is a regressive attitude. This is a regressive approach.

Progress? Progress is getting back to the respect of the power of Nature, understanding that health only comes from "Above-down, Inside-out." This vitalistic, wholistic attitude, this approach, is progressive. This is the chiropractic way.
