The Major Premise: The Foundation of Chiropractic at Aligned Health Group
At Aligned Health Group, our approach to chiropractic care is deeply rooted in the 33 principles of chiropractic, as outlined by Dr. Ralph W. Stephenson. Among these, The Major Premise serves as the cornerstone of our philosophy and guides how and why we serve our community.
What is The Major Premise?
The Major Premise states:
"A Universal Intelligence is in all matter and continually gives to it all its properties and actions, thus maintaining it in existence."
This fundamental principle asserts that there is an inherent intelligence within the universe that organizes and governs all matter, including the human body. This intelligence ensures that everything functions in harmony and maintains a state of balance and order. In chiropractic, we recognize this intelligence as Innate Intelligence, the body's natural ability to heal, regulate, and adapt to its environment.
Why is The Major Premise Important in Chiropractic?
The Major Premise forms the basis of chiropractic philosophy because it acknowledges that the body is not simply a collection of mechanical parts but an intelligent, self-regulating system. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, chiropractic care seeks to remove interference to the body’s natural function, allowing it to express its full potential.
One of the primary ways this interference occurs is through subluxations—misalignments in the spine that disrupt nerve communication between the brain and body. By addressing these subluxations through precise chiropractic adjustments, we help restore the body's natural ability to function optimally.
How The Major Premise Guides Our Care at Aligned Health Group
At Aligned Health Group, The Major Premise is more than just a concept—it is the guiding principle behind everything we do. Our mission is to help individuals and families experience true health by working with the body's innate intelligence rather than against it. Here’s how this principle shapes our approach:
Holistic Healing: We don’t just chase symptoms. Instead, we seek to identify the root cause of dysfunction and allow the body to heal from within.
Nervous System Focus: Since the nervous system is the master control system of the body, we prioritize spinal health to ensure proper nerve communication and function.
Empowerment Through Education: We educate our patients on the natural intelligence of their bodies so they can make informed choices about their health and wellness.
A Community of Health: Our care extends beyond pain relief. We strive to cultivate a community where individuals and families thrive in health, alignment, and purpose.
