33 Principles of Chiropractic

Dr. R. W. Stephenson

Chiropractic is unique in that it has a philosophical underpinning. Traditional health care, which is largely a symptom-treating model, is based on a Newtonian model. That is, we’re simply machines and series of chemical reactions. Chiropractic sees things differently.

More and more professionals in the traditional health care system are exploring the concept of wholeness, recognizing the presence of a universal energy as it expresses itself within the physical body. This, established in 33 enduring principles, has been the basis for chiropractic for over a century!
