Much of the discussion about innate must remain brief in its explanation in this article. It is, however, important to note that inquiry into innate has, essentially, been nonproductive. The hypothesis that much of chiropractic is based upon coordinational interrelationships of structure to function has not been considered as a critical focus for inquiry.
