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.
The chiropractor is bringing into right relationship two adjacent bones of the spine, as well as the spine and nerve system, and from a philosophical standpoint the intelligence and the matter of the body. Words and their meanings change over time. The objective straight chiropractor endeavors to look at the meaning of words as the general public perceives them. Our intention is to make the objective and philosophy as clear to the public as possible so that they might avail themselves of objective straight chiropractic care for its true purpose and understand its philosophy to express a fuller life. In making the objective and philosophy as clear as possible we also reduce the probability that the public will have any unfulfilled expectations from their chiropractic care.
