Why this topic MATTERS to you and me
For you?
You are most likely struggling with pain in your body, that’s why you clicked here. You want to understand how chiropractic can truly help you. Which is perfect. Understanding the philosophy of chiropractic is key to your healing and wellness.
The more nurtured you are mentally, the more physical empowerment and manifestations you receive. Where the mind goes, the physical follows.
I discovered Dr. Joe Dispenza, a leading chiropractor and neuroscientist, through his book Becoming Supernatural. Renowned for bridging science and spirituality, he has inspired millions with his research on the mind-body coherence, neuroplasticity, and self-healing.
In his Blog post – The 4 Pillars of Healing [1], he said,
Thoughts Are Real; Thoughts Directly Affect the Body
These are the coolest insights I gained:
Our thoughts are so powerful—they create biochemical reactions in the brain that trigger corresponding feelings in the body, forming a continuous cycle that shapes our state of being. Negative thought patterns, if repeated over time, can manifest as physical and emotional distress, as seen in individuals who linked their health issues to unconscious, toxic thinking. By becoming aware of and consciously redirecting these thoughts, people can break the cycle, rewire their brains, and transform their health and lives.
The more you nurture your mind with knowledge (educating yourself with our blogs), when you visit a chiropractor, the more you believe in its philosophy, the more aligned your body becomes to encourage self-healing to happen.
For me?
As a chiropractic student and co-founder of ChiroMate, this topic reflects our mission –
Keeping chiropractic alive in the 21st Century
Why? We will get into it.
Biggest historical challenge Chiropractors face
1. Wilk v. American Medical Association (AMA)
- 1970s, 50+ years ago the AMA tried to squash chiropractic like a pesky fly, branding it as “unscientific.”
Who is Wilk?
- Thanks to him—a chiro patient, lawyer, and advocate— he and a bunch of chiropractors fought back and sued the AMA for unlawful conspiracy to eliminate the chiropractic profession.
- 1987, They won big—proving that chiropractic deserves its spot in the world of healthcare superheroes.
- Pivotal wall of fame moment to protect and legitimise Chiro in the US.
2. Chiro Legal Battles: Jailed! Seriously!?
- Back in 1900-1930s, chiropractors were jailed for practicing without medical licenses—talk about a tough gig!
- This political DRAMA shows how far chiropractic has come, evolving from outlawed rebels to respected healers.
3. Shutting down Chiro Schools
- RMIT shutting down its chiropractic program? Ouch! And uncertainties Macquarie faced!?
- Vitalistic chiropractic philosophies are being edged out, replaced by conventional, mechanistic views.
- It’s huge controversy between the two Chiropractic philosophies, story for another day
Our mission
To most people, success might look like fancy cars, booming businesses, or a big bank account. But for me—and for ChiroMate—success in chiropractic isn’t about material milestones.
Success = Conscious Advancement.
What does that mean? It’s about leading the way for humanity’s future, one inspired adjustment at a time. #punintended
Here’s a real challenge: Chiropractors and students are facing an identity crisis. Some are leaving the field for physiotherapy, which shows how much we need to step up, rally our community, and reignite passion for the heart of chiropractic care.
Dear you, help us to keep Chiropractic Alive! This is exactly our mission for ChiroMate.
Thanks for reading! Your a real one x
