A philosophy, science, and art!
Chiropractic deals with the relationship between the bones of the vertebral column (your backbones) and the Nerve System. The objective is the detection and correction (reduction) of spinal misalignments (vertebral subluxations) to allow the innate intelligence of the body to express itself more fully, or simply, to enable your body to work to work the best that it can!
*The correction of vertebral subluxations – is what we do. Our philosophy explains why we do what we do. The science is the accumulated facts supporting what we do. The art is how we do it. Each of these aspects of chiropractic is important.
Chiropractic is about LIFE!

What is Non-Therapeutic Straight Chiropractic?
A member of The Chiropractic Trust has one singular purpose in his/her practice: to correct vertebral subluxation. The criteria determining the presence of vertebral subluxation are objective in nature. These objective criteria lead to the practice of chiropractic being Non-Therapeutic and unmixed with other purposes (i.e. straight).
The Chiropractic Trust defines chiropractic by our objective which is non-therapeutic in its approach.
Non-Therapeutic Straight Chiropractic is defined as the location, analysis, and facilitation of the correction of vertebral subluxations solely because they, in and of themselves, interfere with the proper expression of the innate intelligence of the body and are a detriment to life. Additionally, Non-Therapeutic Straight Chiropractic shall include the need for educating humanity as to the seriousness and importance of vertebral subluxation and having said correction; nothing more, nothing less, and nothing else.
Members of The Chiropractic Trust do not claim that vertebral subluxation is the cause of any or all diseases, but simply an interference to the ongoing life process, and that alone justifies its correction. Members of The Chiropractic Trust correct vertebral subluxations not because they cause disease or are associated with any medical condition, but simply because the body works better without them.
