It is similar to rearing a child and removing every unpleasant obstacle in his or her life. The secret to good medicine similarly is to remove life-threatening interferences and allow the body to develop the ability to adapt to the others. Wisdom in medicine and parenting is the ability to know the difference. It is necessary to distinguish between causative interference and influencing factors. A causative interference will always reduce the health of an individual although it may very well be imperceptible.
Vertebral subluxation is a causative interference.
It always reduces the body's ability to function in a homeostatic state. We know by a process of logic called deductive reasoning. Genetic or congenital defects, without exception, reduce the body's ability to function at its maximum potential. That is not, however, a condemnation to a life of sickness. By removing other interferences, both causative and influencing factors, the individual's body may have the ability to lead a fairly normal life.
