“A subluxation is a complex of funxtional, structural, and/or pathological articular changes that compromise neural integrity and may influence organ system function and general health.”
“A subluxation is evalu., dx and managed through the use of chiro rocedures based on the best available rational and empirical evidence.”
“The preservation and restoration of health is enhanced through the correction of the subluxation.”
