Consequently, we try to use terms that are unique to us. Sometimes we do it because it purposely sounds non-medical. A therapy as commonly understood is directed toward a medical entity. The subluxation as we describe it, relating a misaligned bone to interference with the full expression of the innate intelligence of the body, is not recognized as a medical entity by the medical profession or by us. Sometimes we make up unique terms because one does not exist that adequately describes the chiropractic concept.
Innate intelligence is such a term.
It is neither a scientific nor a theological concept. Some unique objective straight chiropractic terms fit into both the above categories. They are non-medical and also describe the difference of the chiropractic approach. For example, we use the term adjustment rather than treatment. Therapeutic approaches treat, chiropractic adjusts.
