Triad of Health
The paradigm of Holistic Health lends itself to three fundamental aspects for the bodies well-being: the Physical/Structural aspects of the body, the Mental/Emotional aspects, and the Biochemical/Nutritional/Hormonal aspects. Together they form a Triad Of Health.
“Doctors of Chiropractic are physicians who consider man as an integrated being and give special attention to the physiological and biochemical aspects including structural, spinal, musculoskeletal, neurological, vascular, nutritional, emotional and environmental relationships.”
– American Chiropractic Association
