What is the philosophy of Parker College of Chiropractic?
Parker College is a leading advocate of chiropractic wellness—a set of values and behaviors that promote physical, mental, and spiritual health and well-being and enhance the quality of life. The primary component is the chiropractic adjustment, and factors such as nutrition, exercise, and healthy relationships serve as support. Chiropractic philosophy is based upon the idea that the body’s innate intelligence allows it to be self-healing as long as the nervous system—which is the master system—is functioning properly. Misalignments of spinal vertebrae called “subluxations” disturb the energy flow throughout the body, and only by removing those interferences can the body restore and maintain its health. Parker’s philosophy also incorporates evidence-based and diagnostic procedures into the scope of patient care.
