Abstract/Notes

Abstract: This short paper provides a scale of matter from subatomic through to the biosphere of the solar system and up to galactic and universal levels. 

The intervertebral disc in humans is placed at the centre of this scale and comment is given on how the Chiropractic adjustment, specifically in the Gonstead paradigm, may influence the functioning of the disc, the individual person, and their family and community. 

This perspective allows us to appreciate how a Chiropractic Adjustment, made with intent, may have broader outcomes than simple within-person health changes. Patients have the most control at their individual level through their daily choices, but as Chiropractors, our influence has three separate areas of effect with varying degrees of influence as I describe. 

This view represents the contemporary Bio-Psycho-Social Model of health and illness, which has been developed as a more holistic perspective in understanding human health and illness in a fuller context.
