What’s in a name?

Jul 11, 2023 | green books, principles

I love when I get asked about my practice name “33/18 Chiropractic Associates.” Where did I come up with this? The 33 comes from the 33 Chiropractic Principles, the foundation of understanding the universe, all things in it, and how we humans interact with Universal Intelligence. Being a principled chiropractor and following the guidance set forth by the principles leads to specific outcomes when addressing the subluxation. Locating the subluxation and analyzing it will get the positive result the patient seeks to feel and function better.

The 18 in the name comes from the Green Books written by Dr BJ Palmer. Green Book XVIII (18) is titled “The Subluxation Specific – The Adjustment Specific” and addresses the upper cervical spine, being the Occiput, Atlas, and the Axis. The base of the skull, supported by the Atlas, which pivots on the Axis, through which the brain stem goes and then becomes the spinal cord. Misalignment of the upper cervical spine leads to compensations in the rest of the spine which then interferes with the nervous system.

These are pretty important ideas in chiropractic and I feel it’s important enough for the public to know more about the deeper meaning of chiropractic’s foundations. The more I can share with you about what chiropractic really is and all its benefits, the more of you will begin to share with others your successes and they will get to experience them for themselves.
