About Innate Intelligence

Innate intelligence is the foundational philosophical concept in chiropractic — the idea that the living body carries an inborn capacity to organize, regulate, and heal itself. This principle holds that the nervous system is the primary channel through which that intelligence expresses itself in every tissue and organ. When spinal subluxations (misalignments that interfere with nerve function) are present, the expression of innate intelligence is diminished. Removing that interference through chiropractic care is, in this philosophy, the central purpose of the chiropractic adjustment (spinal manipulation).
