Chiropractic
The discovery of this fact led to the ascertaining of two more, namely,
_No disease is ever found without accompanying subluxation._
Since each organ or tissue is connected with some definite and special
vertebra, subluxations accompanying disease bear a relation to disease
which is controlled by a general law, operative alike on all human
organisms.
The latter fact required one other for its complete demonstration;
namely, that the removal of the subluxation is always followed by the
complete disappearance of the disease. Given more perfect methods of
correcting subluxations it would follow that proof of the Chiropractic
theory would be so complete and overwhelming as to meet at once with
general acceptance. The difficulty lies in the fact that with our
present methods much time is often required for complete correction of
the vertebral displacement and much skill is needed even for successful
investigation of the results obtainable. The theory is too often judged
by unskilled or imperfect applications of it.
Every school of Chiropractic accepts the presence of the subluxation
and has spent much thought and time in the effort to deduce the law
governing its connection with disease. Diverse conclusions have been
reached owing to the difficulty experienced in completely eradicating
the subluxation. When it _is_ accomplished the results are absolutely
conclusive. When it is partially or relatively accomplished the results
are so good in a great per cent of cases as to lead sometimes to the
erroneous belief that the subluxation did not cause the disease since
mere partial correction of the subluxation suffices to bring about
the apparent total removal of the disease. In every case of thorough
experiment the results warrant the recommendation of the subluxation
theory as at least a proper working hypothesis.
Without attempting here to review all the various conclusions reached
or the methods by which they have been attained, we would simply state
our own conclusion, which we believe is the only one compatible with
demonstrable facts. It is briefly this: Since every portion of the body
is connected through the nervous system with the spinal nerves and
since it has been proven that this connection is reasonably constant
and anatomically demonstrable; since the removal or correction of a
subluxation leads in all cases to the complete disappearance of disease
from the organs or tissues innervated from the subluxated portion of
the spinal column, we conclude that the subluxation is the _primary
cause_ of disease.
The final test of the correctness of any theory is the result of its
application. Since Chiropractic secures a larger percentage of results
than any other known system of healing it is safe to assume, at least,
that it has discovered the way to remove the primary cause of disease.
