Call It What It Is

I do not use the word treatment when talking about chiropractic. 

There are two reasons for this. The first is that it is the practice of medicine to diagnose and treat medical conditions. I am not a medical doctor. The second is that I understand a treatment to be a procedure one does in order to fix an ailment or condition. It might be therapeutic and it might even address the surface issue. There is nothing wrong or bad about treatments. They have a place and provide value to those who seek them.

By contrast, the chiropractic adjustment is a creative act. The adjustment allows the Innate Intelligence that communicates with and coordinates all spheres of the human experience to be unlocked, enticed, and reorganized. An adjustment is something that works co-creatively with the Resident intelligence of the body for the betterment of the individual and, by extension, all who will be affected by their greater connection to Source.

The clinical impact of the adjustment is profound. Since the chiropractic adjustment works directly with the mechanical and energetic integrity of the nervous system, it has the ability to affect any manifestation of dis-ease in the body or mind. This is what differentiates an adjustment from a treatment. The scope is far beyond the removal of an uncomfortable or undesired condition. To be clear - it can help with that, too.  An adjustment takes as its starting point the premise that the the body is a connected, continuous, self-healing, self-regulating, living organism. The adjustment, therefore, is delivered to integrate and enhance the expression of intelligence, health, wellness, and sanity in the physical form of the human being.

This is why I use the word adjustment.
